    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.

    Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
    (BSES, 1997) Mackintosh, DL; Noble, AG; Sanders, DH
    A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar mills over 1994 and 1995 season. The evaluation has been painstaking and extensive in scope and has culminated in the proposal to include a Method 3A in the Laboratory Manual for Australian Sugar Mills, "Brix Determination in Juice by Vibrating Tube Density Measurement". The process has involved millers' and the growers' technical personnel.
