Sugarcane and Health.

Essential blood sugars and the energy required for an active and healthy lifestyle are provided by an intake of foods containing sugar.
The brain requires blood sugars for its normal daily function.
Sugars are the simplest form of carbohydrate.
They are found in foods throughout nature.
The simple sugars - glucose and fructose - are found in nearly all plants. Sometimes they occur together as sucrose, which is simply a combination of glucose and fructose.
We know sucrose as sugar, the major source of which is sugarcane Juice.
Carbohydrates are broken down and used by the body as glucose, a major energy source.

Sugarcane juice is a high-energy drink that is natural, sweet and is a healthy alternative to refined sugar added drinks. It quickly
replaces lost energy in the most arduous of circumstances. It is a flavourful drink on it’s own and also popular with a twist of lemon
and can be mixed with any other juice to produce cocktails high in carbohydrate and vitamins.
It is one of the best sources of energy. The sugar in cane juice provides the glucose, which is stored, as glycogen to be ‘burned’ by
muscles when required. The body can store only a limited amounts of glycogen therefore the body needs a regular supply of carbohydrates.

Benefits of Sugarcane.
Sugarcane juice delivers a boost of carbohydrate energy to the working muscles. This helps to maximize sporting performance and endurance.

Glucose is quickly absorbed and rapidly becomes available to the working muscles as a source of energy. Carbohydrate is the most efficient
source of energy for any kind of physical activity. It is the body's primary fuel for exercise and requires less oxygen to be burnt than
either protein or fat. However it is the most scarce energy source in the body with stores being limited. Supplies are depleted by exercise
leading to fatigue and a loss of competitive intensity if the amount of carbohydrate ingested is less than that burnt each day the "fuel
tank" will be running on empty.

Sugarcane juice is naturally formulated with carbohydrate, which provide rapid energy for the working muscles.
Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal (17 kJ) of energy per gram.
Carbohydrates have historically been the predominant source of energy in the diet. A balanced diet will provide a mixture of different
starches and sugars.

In recent years attention has been paid to the composition of the diet and its association with disease.
Dietary recommendations, which aim to reduce the incidence of disease, have been made, particularly in the USA and UK. The recommendations aim to reduce the amount of fats consumed and increase the proportion of energy intake from carbohydrate sources to at least 50%.

Users of Sugarcane juice will fall into three distinct categories.

Everyday Energy
Anyone exhausted from working or playing hard, or who feels in need of a pick-me-up, can boost their energy with sugarcane juice. It
provides food energy at a level approximately twice that found in ordinary soft drinks.

Exercise & Sport
Sugarcane juice will be popular with sportsmen and women who are looking to top up their levels of muscle glycogen. Sugarcane juice
is a more effective way of replacing this carbohydrate energy than refined sugar-based soft drinks, particularly for endurance
training/events.

Illness and Convalescence
Historically sugar packed drinks is promoted for people who were ill or convalescing. Many people use sugarcane for these reasons, but
even more are recognizing the benefit of sugarcane juice in providing positive well being and health benefits.




COMPOSITION OF SUGARCANE JUICE

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

The Juice expressed from cane is an opaque liquid covered with froth due to air bubbles entangled within it. Its colour varies from light grey to dark green, depending on the colouring matter in the rind of the cane crushed.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION.

Sugarcane contains about 70% water, in which sucrose & other substances are held in solution, forming about 88% by weight of juice in the stem. The remaining 12% represents the insoluble cane fibre component.

The cane juice has an acidic pH ranging between 4.9 to 5.5. The juice acidity corresponds to about 0.2%.
