To maintain sugarcane freshness, it is crucial to process it promptly after harvest. This study aims to analyze the quality of molded brown sugar derived from raw materials with varying levels of freshness. The research adopts a non-factorial design involving three main treatments: the duration of stay on the first, second, and third days, with three replications. Parameters observed during the molded brown sugar production process include brix, pol, purity, and reducing sugar from raw juice; brix, pol, purity, and reducing sugar from clear juice; color, brix, moisture content, and reducing sugar of sugar. Data analysis is performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the application of Duncan's multiple range test. The purity value in raw juice data H1 with a value of 89.54 significantly differs from data H3 with a value of 73.83. Similarly, reducing sugar in raw juice H1 at 0.74 significantly differs from H3 at 0.93. The purity value in clear juice H1 at 88.34 significantly differs from H3 at 75.40. As for reducing sugar in clear juice, H1 at 0.81 is significantly smaller than H3 at 1.18. Regarding the difference between open-pan and close-pan cooking treatments, it is concluded that the cooking system producing the best molded brown sugar is the close-pan system, evident in both color results and the reduced sugar content of molded brown sugar. The best color for molded brown sugar is found in treatment H1 (day 1) with the close-pan system at 551.40. The lowest reducing sugar content is observed in treatment H1 (day 1) with the close-pan system at 0.94.

Forecasting Brown Sugar Production Using k-NN Minkowski Distance and Z-Score Normalization

The demand for brown sugar products often falls below the level of production, resulting in unsold goods when market demand surpasses the production capacity. This paper addresses the challenge faced by many brown sugar businesses in estimating production yields. Another issue, apart from production uncertainty, is the presence of a dataset with a significant nominal range. The study focuses on a specific brown sugar producing company in Indonesia. To address the production estimation problem, this research proposes the use of k-NN supervised learning as a forecasting method. However, instead of relying solely on k-NN, the study suggests employing z-score normalization to handle the dataset's large nominal range. The production data used for analysis spans from March 2019 to February 2022, comprising 144 weekly records. The dataset is divided into training and testing data, employing an 8:2 split validation ratio. The proposed method consists of several steps, including data normalization using z-score, processing k-NN based on the Minkowski distance, and concluding with the de-normalization process. The results demonstrate the successful implementation of the proposed method in predicting production levels. The evaluation indicates an average error margin of 3.34%, which is below the 5% threshold. The evaluation of predictive data for k-NN with z-score normalization proves effective in forecasting brown sugar production uncertainty and addressing the challenge of a large nominal range.

Association technological and agronomic traits sugarcane for the quantitative and qualitative production of brown sugar

Despite the growing demand for the consumption of brown sugar, there is little study on sugarcane cultivars and harvesting times more propitious for the production of brown sugar. In this sense, the objective of this study was to identify linear relationships between agronomic and technological variables of different genotypes and harvest times, to identify direct and indirect effects on the quantitative and qualitative production of brown sugar. For this, an experiment was carried out in a split-plot scheme (genotypes × growing seasons), in a randomized block design with four replications. The variables analyzed were stem height, the number of internodes, apparent sucrose in sugarcane, apparent sucrose from broth, soluble solids content of cane, fiber, purity, total recoverable sugars, average stem mass, the volume of broth extracted, content of soluble solids in the broth, frown sugar apparent sucrose, instrumental color, mass of brown sugar per ton of cane and the amount of broth per ton of cane. The statistical analyzes performed were path analysis and canonical correlation. The amount of juice per ton of cane and ºBrix of the juice can be selected for greater brown sugar production, both had a greater direct effect. With different responses in the three harvests, the canonical correlation showed interdependence between groups of variables, inferring those agronomic variables can be used in the selection of better-quality brown sugar cultivars. If the objective is greater sugar production, season 1 proved to be more promising in relation to the others.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES CHANGE OF COCONUT SAP IN THE VACUUM EVAPORATOR

The potential of brown sugar as a substitute for granulated sugar is enormous considering the abundant coconut sap production. However, the quantity of brown sugar production through the traditional method is one of the main obstacles. This study used a vacuum evaporator that emphasizes the hygienic and effective mass production of brown sugar. For this reason, it is necessary to approach changes in the physical properties of sap juice during the cooking process. This knowledge is indispensable in the cooking process, which involves the proper evaporation and crystallization of brown sugar. This research is devoted to determining the viscosity, density, and dissolved solids expressed in Brix and proposes a mathematical model to predict the physical properties during the evaporation process of brown sugar as a function of the initial concentration the solution before proceeding to the crystallization process. Results confirm that the prediction model for Brix is Cθ=(Co–Ce)·exp(0.0067·t)+Ce, the model for viscosity µθ=µo·exp(0.011·t), and ρө=(0.44996·t)+ρ0 for the density prediction model. The resulted mathematical model can accurately predict the rate of change in coconut sap's physical properties, indicated by the high coefficient of determination (R2).

Sugarcane harvest time for processing and technological quality of brown sugar

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the optimal harvest time of ten genotypes of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) for the processing and quality of brown sugar. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design in a 3x10 factorial arrangement in split plots, with three harvest times and ten sugarcane genotypes, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The qualitative parameters of brown sugar were evaluated by Scott-Knott’s test, at 5% probability. The harvest season in September, known as the middle of the harvest, is the most suitable for the production of brown sugar due to the higher of ºBrix values of cane, ºBrix of the broth, pol of brown sugar, and total reducing sugars in this period. The harvesting of the sugarcane genotypes in June-July is the most favorable for the production of brown sugar for the color characteristics a*, b*, L*, and chroma; however, it is also the period of production of brown sugar with a lower sugar content. The third harvest season (November) is the least recommended for brown sugar production due to the higher fiber and purity values. The most suitable genotype for brown sugar production and quality is 'IACSP04-704'.
