Abstract

A review of the scientific literature from 1993 to 2021 was performed using topic terms related to impurities in sugarcane processing. The aim here is to show the issues related to raw materials, extracted juice, and end-product sugar. These impurities are inherent in manufacturing cane sugar, implying a need for specialized analytical methods that show reliability, high throughput, and accessibility for biorefineries. For highlights, the impurity issue has been investigated, and many options are considered in this review. (AU)
