- Sugarcane juice is used as a refreshing natural
energy drink, delicious drink in both urban and rural areas of many
countries
- Raw sugarcane juice is a carbohydrate rich, low
acid food and is therefore susceptible to the growth of yeasts, of
spoilage bacteria and also pathogenic bacteria.
- The problem with refined sugar is that it has
gone through a lot chemical processes just to extract the sucrose
substance leaving out all the other valuable nutrients.
- The powder extracted from sugarcane retains the
mineral content in almost the same way as it is present in sugarcane
juice. This can be even used as a substitute to sugar in food or
even in ayurvedic medicines. The flavour will be different, but is a
healthy option
- Spray drying is a complex process used to turn
liquid food particles into solid form
- Fresh juice cannot be stored normally for more
than six hours due to the presence of simple sugars, which spoils
the juice quickly - Hence the need for the powder
- Since sugarcane powder is a sugar-rich food
product,
it is recognized as heat-sensitive and requires
encapsulating additives such as malt dextrin for the
spray drying process to be successful
- The method of preparation of spray dried
sugarcane juice powder and granules is devoid of preservatives,
colorants, anti-caking agents, stabilisers and other chemicals. The
use of spray dried sugarcane juice finds its application as a
sweetener and for preparation of natural health drinks and
beverages.
- The sugarcane juice powder developed using
techniques such as freeze drying, flash evaporation and vacuum
drying will not support the growth of micro-organisms and
biochemical activity but improve the stability and storability of
sugarcane juice.
- The sugarcane harvested at 10 - 14 months after
planting is suitable for preparation of commercially acceptable
sugarcane juice powder/granules
- Canes were harvested in bulk in the conventional
way contain dried leaves, green tops, insect infested and damaged,
all these are removed with care. Use of clean water and hygienic
practices were adopted to avoid microbial contamination
- From the processing stage onwards all operations
are to be carried out in a sterile environment. The extraction of
juice with crushers fabricated from food grade material and
preserving the extracted juice in clean containers, are added
advantage.
