1. How industries produce sugar from a sugar cane? Are there multiple ways?
Where does it come from? What are the steps?
Industries have many different methods of producing sugar from sugar canes. Firstly, Industries buy sugar canes from the various countries and send the canes to a sawmill. Thirdly, the sawmill grinds the sugar cane. Then, the industry boils the sugar cane juice until it turns into syrup. Then the syrup is run through a centrifuge, which removes molasses from the top of the syrup. After, the raw syrup is mixed with water and left to dry. When the drying process is complete the sugar is sent to mass amounts of consumers around the world. There are many ways to produce sugar from sugar cane but all companies agree that this certain method is best for efficiency and give more quantity and better quality than the other methods.
2. Describe the changes that you had to make to your procedure. What did you change, why?
I had to make a couple changes in the procedure; the first change we made is we couldn’t get efficient results from rolling out the juice. To get better results we cut the sugar cane into smaller pieces and crushed them. Crushing the sugar cane wasn’t producing as much juice we needed. Then we took the crushed sugar cane into a tinfoil paper and left the bottom open and put a beaker underneath the tin foiled sugar cane. We then, proceeded to squeeze the juice out producing more efficient and more quantity of sugar can juice.
3. If you were to do the extraction again, how would you improve it? Be very descriptive in the changes that you would make.
One major change I would make into the procedure is the to make a more efficient way to extract the sugar. To make it more efficient fi...

The plantation systems in the Caribbean were its most distinctive and characteristic economic form. These plantation systems were created in the New World during the early years of the sixteenth century and were mostly staffed with slaves imported from Africa. It was Spain that pioneered sugar cane, sugar making, African slave labour, and the plantation form in the Caribbean. Before long, within a century, the French and British became the world’s greatest makers and exporters of sugar. The film, Sugar Cane Alley, depicts the essence of a key transitional moment in French Caribbean history. It highlights the tribulations (daily efforts and working conditions) of many Noir sugar plantation workers in Martinique in the early 1930s. Hence,
Suprisingly, for something so desireable knowledge of sugar cane spread vey slow. First found in Guinea and first farmed in India (sources vary on this), knowledge of it would only arrive in Europe thousands of years later. However, there is more to the history of sugar cane than a simple story of how something was adopted piecemeal into various cultures. Rather the history of sugar, with regards to this question, really only takes off with its introduction to Europe. First exposed to the delights of sugar cane during the crusades, Europeans quickly acquired a taste for this sweet substance.

We then cut our potato tubes with the cork borer and cut them with the scalpel so they were the same length and weighed them. We then put one potato tube in each test tube and then added the same amount sugar solution in to each tube. The concentration of sugar solutions varied in each test tube.
Sugar was first grown in New Guinea around 9000 years ago, which New guinea traders trade cane stalks to different parts of the world. In the New world christopher columbus introduced cane sugar to caribbean islands. At first sugar was unknown in Europe but was changed when sugar trade first began. Sugar trade was driven by the factors of production land which provided all natural resources labor what provided human resources for work and capital which includes all the factories and the money that’s used to buy land. Consumer demand was why sugar trade continued to increase.
The production of sap by the tree, syrup by man, and sugar by refining is long and meticulous. The characteristics of syrup are detailed, and the object of makers is to produce a rich product, while nurturing regularly to obtain a perfect consistency.

Saccharin is said to be one of the oldest artificial sugars, it was discovered around 1878 in the Johns Hopkins University laboratory by chemist Constantine Fahlberg when he was working on Ira Remsen’s lab among Remsen’s assistants. The sugar was first used by Constantine himself when he accidentally spilled some of the chemical on his hand and later decided to try it with his dinner, when he realized it tasted quite sweet. Both Remsen and Fahlberg later introduced the synthetic sugar to the public in February of 1879 saying Saccharin was “even sweeter than cane sugar”. Some of the many benefits of Saccharin are that Saccharin is able to blend with other sweeteners to recompense for each sweetener’s weaknesses. Also Saccharin is very helpful to people with diabetes because it goes directly through the digestive system without being broken down. Saccharin also easily dissolves in beverages just like regular table sugar. Sacchari...
In my previous paper I did my research on the history, production, and trade of cane sugar that was mostly produced in the United States. On our study abroad trip to Mexico we saw some sugar cane fields from the road, but we did get to tour any of the farms or see any sugar processing factories. So I was thinking to myself how I am going to write a paper on sugar cane in Mexico if I never experienced any of it while I was down there. Fortunately I found a topic that was very close to home and related to some of the agriculture in Mexico as well. While visiting the Trade Management Services, Inc., we met with the Iowa trade representative, Jose Antonio Jimenez. Jose mentioned some things about the controversy with the United States and Mexico with the imported high fructose corn syrup into Mexico and the effects it has had on the sugar markets and the producers. Since Iowa is the number one grower of corn in the United States, and number one in producing high fructose corn syrup, it is a major issue for Iowans because of the great market share we have with Mexico. In this essay I will discuss some of the issues with the trade barriers, taxes, and tariffs the two countries have opposed on each other.
Sugarcane is an important industrial crop for the tropical and subtropical region of the world. It is produced in more than 100 countries, with global production of 174 million tonnes sugar. It accounts for about 80 percent and sugarbeet for about 20 percent of total sugar produced (FAOSTAT, 2008). In 2010, 1,682 million metric tonnes (MT) of sugarcane were produced worldwide in a total area of 23.8 million hectares (ha). Brazil is the largest sugarcane producer, contributing with 40% of the world production (719 MT) followed by India (278 MT), China (111 MT), Thailand (68 MT), Pakistan (50 MT), Colombia (38.5 MT), Australia (31 MT), Argentina (30 MT), United States (27.5 MT), Indonesia (26.5 MT) and the Philippines (23 MT) (FAOSTAT, 2011). India rank second among the sugarcane growing countries of the world in both area and production. Globally it is cultivated over an area of 20.1 million hectare, with annual production of 1381.1 million tonnes and productivity of 65.5 tonnes per ha. In India sugarcane is cultivated over an area of 4.36 million ha, with an annual production of 281.8 million tonnes and productivity 64.6 tonnes per ha. Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh are the important sugarcane
