Composition of Cane
Sugarcane fed to mills for processing contains besides the water insoluble fibre, sugars, salts
and organic matter dissolved in water, some of them being in colloidal state. The
composition of cane is a function of cultivation practices as also the soil and climatic
conditions and is therefore bound to exhibit wide variations from area to area and region
to region. Nevertheless the major constituents of sugarcane are sucrose, reducing sugars,
fibre and salts which exert profound influence on the economic aspects of cane sugar production.
