    Increasing sugar recovery through improved mill sanitation and biocide application : final report 2020/203
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021) Fernando, A; Shi, C
    Undetermined sucrose loss during the processing of sugarcane to sugar is estimated between 1-2%, being a large financial loss to the industry. Microbial infection of sugarcane juice is from the microorganisms that enter the mill with the cane supply, and those from the floor washing and filtrate. Microbial degradation contributes 93% of the sucrose loss in mixed juice. Effective cleaning and sanitation procedures are needed to reduce microbial degradation in a factory. However, the hygiene practices vary among Australian mills. Biocides are not routinely used in Australian mills, though they are used overseas.
