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%.

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.
A
short history of natural sweetness.
Sweetness has been prized
throughout history. Consequently, foods that contain this taste have long been
highly valued.
Honey is the earliest known example since time
immemorial. Plants have used photosynthesis to create sucrose, which we call
sugar.
However, the use of sugar as a sweet food dates back only few
thousand years. Thus, of these two original gifts from nature,
sugar
from sugarcane is the younger brother. It nevertheless remains a
unique sweetener, contributing a range of qualities in modern
food
manufacture.
The
Origin.
Sugarcane
originated in what is now New Guinea. From there, it spread along the migration
routes to Southeast Asia, India, and Polynesia.
The Arabs then brought
cane-growing to the countries bordering the Mediterranean, while the Spanish and
Portuguese established the first
sugar plantations in South America and
the Caribbean.
Honey without
Bees.
The first
historical account of sugarcane is reported by Nearchos, an admiral under
Alexander the Great, who in 327 BC had seen a type of
reed by the river
Indus that yielded “honey without bees”. The crusader, Albert von Aachen was
surprised that the inhabitants of Tripoli
sucked a kind of cane, which
they called zukra.
Sugar for the
rich.
Until the 17th
century, sugar was beyond the financial means of most people. For a long time it
was a luxury item found only on the tables
of palaces and aristocratic
mansions. The English court of Elizabeth I apparently had a fondness to sweeten
almost everything they ate with
sugar, perhaps because the Queen had a
sweet tooth?
In the 18th century, consumption increased, particularly due to
the growing popularity of tea and coffee drinking. During the 19th and
20th
centuries sugar has increasingly been used in various foods and
drinks products - where, apart from sweetness, its preserving and
other
qualities are appreciated.
The Cane
plant.
All of life's
energy originates from the sun. Green plants harness solar energy and store it
in the form of carbohydrates. Sugarcane is
one of the most efficient
converters of solar energy to food carbohydrates. The hard rind of the cane
protects a softer fibrous centre,
which transports water and nutrients
from the soil to the leaves where they are combined with carbon from the
atmosphere to form sugar
(sucrose). The fibrous centre serves as a
reservoir for sugar as the cane ripens.
The cane plant is a coarse growing
member of the grass family with the juice being high in sugar content. In
tropical countries it is
planted at almost any time of the year since
the plant does not have a rest period. This results in heavier yields of cane
and sugar.
Growing
Sugarcane.
Cane stalks
are cut into 30cm long "sets" and planted 10cm below the soil surface in rows
1.5m apart. Fertilizer is added and weeds are
only controlled for the
first three months of planting. The crop is harvested a year after planting.
After harvest, a second crop grows
from the below ground parts of the
previous crop. Two or three crops are grown from each planting. Sugarcane is
grown in mainly tropical
climates, but it can be found as far north as
Southern Spain and as far south as Southern Australia.
Harvesting.
Harvesting is done by hand which is an extremely labour intensive
task that employs the local people in areas where jobs are scarce.
The
cane is cut at ground level with the top green leaves are cropped off and then
the stalk is bundled whole. Once a complete bundle
has been assembled
it is removed from the field. The bundle is weighed and may now be transferred
to a larger vehicle for transport to
the sugar milling plant or in our
case it will be put aside as per our order. The cane is then cleaned and cut
into 50cm stalks and packed
into 25kg boxes and then sent to our
shippers.
