    Towards functional specifications of a sampling scheme for commercial sampling of prepared cane : final report V89/17
    (BSES, 1990) Robinson, G
    Payment by Australian sugar mills to sugar can growers has for many years been based on samples of "first expressed juice" - the juice squeezed from prepared cane at the number one mill. This basis for payment is perceived by some sugar industry bodies as being less than completely satisfactory. The weaknesses being focussed on in this. report is that it is an inferential method. The amount of pol in first expressed juice is used to estimate the total amount of pol in the cane. This is unsatisfactory because the relationship between pol in first expressed juice and total pol was derived many years ago when there was less pressure exerted at the number one mill. The relationship has not been altered to allow more accurate estimation of total pol.
