    Hardening of raw sugar : SRDC final report CSR8S
    (CSR, 1991) Mangion, MJ; Player, MR
    Australia has a long term contract to supply the Soviet Union with raw sugar. While the contract seeks to avoid delivery in the coldest months, the long transport from Black Sea ports and possible delays can lead to hardening in rail cars. The consequence would be slow unloading of rail cars, extra demurrage, and extra labour cost. The buyers claim that sugar from other sources such as Cuba does not harden to the same extent.

    Hygroscopic water in sugarcane : final report 114
    (CSR, 1990) Mangion, MJ; Player, MR
    At the 1989 Workshop on Cane Analysis conducted by the Sugar Research Council it emerged that the best technical method of cane analysis for the Australian industry was the direct cane analysis method (DCA) employing the wet disintegrator technique. This method involves comminuting a sample of prepared cane with a weighed amount of water and then analysing the resultant liquid extract. The analysis of cane is determined by calculation, making allowance for the degree of dilution by the added water. This calculation also makes allowance for some water in sugar cane which is not available for solution of the dissolved substances in juice. This water is commonly referred to as bound water or hygroscopic water.
