简介：Much has happened in the last ten years in the cane sugar industry, and especially in the utilization of its by-products. The serious inroads made in the sugar trade by the increasing consumption of high fructose corn syrup and the rapidly decreasing U.S. sugar imports have forced many cane sugar-producing countries to reconsider their developme...   more 籲t policy and give more attention to improved efficiency and a more productive utlization of cane sugar by-products. Changes in sugar technology have rendered possible great savings of bagasse to be used for energy generation or other activities. The large scale production of ethanol from cane juice in Brazil has indicated the possibility of countering any future petroleum shock. The general improvement of biotechnology has ensured new avenues for upgrading by-products of the sugar industry. All these changes have clearly pointed to the need for a third edition of By-Products of the Cane Sugar Industry - a book which has been highly recommended and described as ``indispensable for sugar technologists, chemists laboratories and sugar mills alike.'' (Sugarland). The general object and presentation of the new work follow the pattern set by preceding editions, but with a large proportion of new text added to replace what was no longer up-to-date and representative of present technology. All prices and production capacity data have been updated and the book now gives a more comprehensive and balanced view of by-products utilization. This new edition will be extremely useful to undergraduate level students in sugar engineering and agricultural chemistry. It will also be of real value to factory managers, chemists and engineers, and generally to industrialists looking for new developments.   ?less
