In the conventional crystal sugar production process, the use of sulfur dioxide can produce reduced sulfur compounds - TRS (Total Reduced Sulphur), which are characterized as a mixture of various compounds containing in its structure the reduced form of sulfur. These compounds are associated to implications on human health, essentially linked to sensitive people, can cause allergy, nausea…
The production of the Brazilian sugar cane sector exceeds R$ 150 billion, producing mainly sugar and ethanol. Despite the contribution to the economy, the mills produce a large volume of byproducts, among which stands out the vinasse, deriving from the ethanol production. For each liter of ethanol produced, an average of 13L of vinasse is generated. The forecast for 2017 is the production…
In the production of crystal white sugar, the sugarcane juice clarification utilize sulfite (SO2) to reduce juice color. However, some studies claimed the induction of health, operational and environmental problems in the use of sulfite and their derivatives in foods. An alternative would be hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is capable to decompose the juice pigments. H2O2 can be generated el…

Color is the main quality parameter of sugarcane juice since it is directly connected to crystal sugar value. However, color control (sulfitation) and monitoring (laboratory analysis) by sugar mills have problems. Electrocoagulation is an alternative process due to non-generation of residues and successful application in other components. While for monitoring, visual computation and inlin…
