Icumsa 45 Brazilian Cane Sugar

Icumsa 45 Brazilian Sugar :

Sugar has been one of the most important foodstuffs for people for centuries and was produced only from sugar cane until the end of the 18th century. Sugar beet farming and sugar beet sugar production began in the 19th century. Approximately 74.4% of the sugar produced in the world is obtained from sugar cane and 25.6% from sugar beet.

Sugar cane grows in tropical and subtropical regions, while sugar beet grows in more temperate regions. Although sugar beet sugar production is more expensive than sugar cane production, its continuity is ensured by taking various measures in many countries due to both its economic contributions to the sugar industry and agricultural and social reasons.

Sugar needs to go through more than one stage until it takes the shape we see on our table.

Approximately 9 sugar beets weighing 900 grams are required to produce 1 kg of sugar. Sugar production begins with planting in the spring and the sugar beet sugar production stage is started with the harvest of the crop in the fall. The harvested crop in autumn is cut with the help of mechanical harvesters during the collection phase. Then, the sugar beet bulbs are loaded onto trucks with the help of loaders and transferred to silos. During this stage, approximately 1/3 of the soil on the surface of the plant is cleaned with the help of the sieve on the loader. In the next stage, the sugar beet is transferred from the silos to the cleaning stations with the help of a conveyor belt. While the beets are being transported with the belts, they first pass into a rotating cylinder. Here, the crop is cleaned from the soil with the effect of pressurized water and in addition, substances such as stones and sand, which are heavier than water, are separated from the crop during this process.

The cleaned sugar beets are transported to the factory with the help of belts for processing. The next stage is to cut them into small slices of 4–8 mm thick and 10 cm long with the help of machines. After the chopping process, they are sent to diffusion tanks from here. Here, the beet cuts are exposed to hot water, opening the cells and thus ensuring that the sugar in the beet passes into the water along with some foreign matter. After this, the cuts containing a lot of sugar are processed as raw syrup, while the cuts that are poor in sugar are extracted as beet pulp. This by-product is pressed into the pulp and sold as animal feed. Sugar is obtained from sugar beet cuts, or to put it correctly, during sucrose extraction, the temperature of the water is 70 ° C and this process takes about an hour.

Since the raw syrup obtained after extraction contains some foreign substances, it is subjected to a purification process. For the purification process, the syrup is subjected to a series of processes with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), commonly known as lime milk, and carbon dioxide gas. As a result of these processes, thin water containing 12-15% sugar or in other words, yellow sugar solution is obtained. In order to increase the consistency of the thin water, it is subjected to a six-stage evaporation process and thus a thick syrup containing 60% sugar is obtained.

After this, the crystallization phase is started. In this phase, the thick syrup undergoes various processes to obtain an intermediate product containing crystallized sugar and non-sugar substances. This intermediate product is cooked in vacuum tanks and is called Lapa in production. Then, Lapa undergoes a centrifugation process to separate the crystallized sugar from the sugar syrup. With this process, slightly moist sugar crystals are obtained. This sugar is dried and then passed through sieves to be cleaned and then put into the packaging process. In the meantime, some of it is packaged as granulated sugar, while some of it is packaged as cube sugar.
