Filtration is used in the production of sucrose from sugar cane by separating the juice from the fibrous material after the cane is crushed. The extracted juice contains dissolved sugars, impurities, and solids. The juice is then clarified through filtration, often combined with heat and the addition of lime, to remove impurities and clarify the liquid. This purified juice can then undergo further processing, such as evaporation and crystallization, to produce sucrose.
Sugar cane is a plant and the sugar is boiled out of the plant. It does not come from the ground.
Sugar cane is considered a renewable source of energy because it can be replanted and harvested repeatedly over time. The plant grows quickly and can be cultivated annually, allowing for a sustainable cycle of production. Additionally, by using sugar cane to produce biofuels, such as ethanol, we can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly energy option.
On a sugar plantation, common equipment includes cane harvesters, which mechanize the cutting of sugarcane, and tractors for land preparation and transportation. Additionally, planters may use irrigation systems to ensure proper watering of the crops, and mills for crushing the harvested cane to extract juice. Other tools such as fertilizers spreaders and pest control equipment are also essential for maintaining crop health and yield.
If you watch this video on You Tube (see link in the related links below), you will see that the entire process to get refined sugar takes at the least 10 hours or more. It is boiled in one set of chemicals for 6 hours, and another set of chemicals for 2 hours, and those were the ones they mentioned. There are a few processes that occurred in the video that they did not give times for the length that they were exposed to.
Sugar is a carbohydrate, and all DNA and protein associated with the GM trait are removed during the extraction, of the sugar from the rest of the plant. By extracting only a carbohydrate you are left with a product that contains no protein, no DNA, and therefore no GMO. No lab is able to determine the difference between sugar that came from a GMO plant and sugar that came from a non-GMO plant. "GMO" sugar is just plain old sugar and is no better or worse than "non-GMO" sugar because they are the same stuff. The plants they came from may be different but the sugar is the same.
Louisiana produces sugar cane
Texas produces sugar cane
It takes roughly 2 to 3 meters of sugar cane to produce one teaspoon of sugar. The cane is crushed to extract its juice, which is then processed and refined to produce sugar.

sugar cane
beet root, sugar cane and sweet potato produce sugar.
To produce sugar from sugar cane, the cane is crushed to extract the juice. The juice is then filtered to remove impurities and boiled to evaporate the water, leaving behind sugar crystals. These crystals are then further processed and refined to produce the sugar we use.
Cane sugar is sugar that is derived from the fibrous strands of sugar cane. After the plant is harvested it is processed to remove the sweet liquids. From that point is it processed further to produce a variety of sugar products from syrup, molasses, to granulated sugars.
Sugar cane and the sugar beet
Yes. Vietnamese farmers produce about one million metric tons of cane sugar every year.
More. It takes 2 swimming pools of water to produce one kilo of sugar cane.
