Chromatographic desugarisation of syrups in cane mills

Sugar recovery and quality are important factors for modern mills and refin eries. Advances in polymer science and membrane manufacture have spurred re search and development efforts in desugarisation, This paper covers the maj or trends in new process development over the past 10 years with emphasis o n membrane and chromatographic technologies. It analyses the incorporation of chromatographic desugarisation into the sugar cane industry, Results on chromatographic desugarisation of syrups in cane mills are presented and di scussed.
