Application of Thiocarbamate Based Chemical for Minimization of Invertase Enzyme Activity in Sugar Cane Juice

並列摘要


The commercially grown Indian cane variety has sucrose content around 12-14% at peak maturity stage. Due to pre and post milling losses average sugar recovery remain in the range of 9.5-10.0%. This is a serious situation, which affect the overall performance and profitability of sugar industry. Therefore, regular use of an effective broad-spectrum chemical is important in improving sugar recovery at mill level. In the view of above facts, the investigation has been done with application of thiocarbamate-based chemicals. The comparative activity of thiocarbamate-based chemicals was tested against invertase enzyme and sucrose contain in sugar cane juice. Two different commercial chemicals (1) SUGARBAG PLUS(superscript TM) and (2) KILLBACT(superscript TM) were applied @ 5ppm, @10ppm and @ 15ppm with control. SUGARBA G PLUS(superscript TM) @ 10ppm and KILLBACT(superscript TM)@15ppm. Dextran, sucrose and reducing sugar were analyzed periodically with thiocarbamate chemicals treatments, and data were analyzed with analysis of variance. SUGARBA G PLUS(superscript TM)@ 15ppm was found best treatment because lowest dextran content was observed in this study.
