Did norbert rillieux's 19th century invention revolutionize the cotton industry or the sugar-refining industry?

sugar-refining industryANSWER:Norbert Rillieux, was an American engineer who revolutionized the sugar industry. First, he made the first practical multi-effect vacuum evaporator, a major improvement in the vacuum process of manufacturing sugar. This process removes the water from the sugar cane without damaging the sugar.In one chamber of Rillieux's machine, the sugar was boiled until it became syrup. Then, in a connected chamber, the hot vapor from the first chamber boiled the syrup until it became grains of sugar. This double use of the same heat greatly reduced the cost.Other products, including soap, gelatin, some glues, and condensed milk, are now manufactured through a process based on Rillieux's invention.
