ABSTRACT:
Method of treating cut sugar cane, which comprises depositing the cane on a conveyor, spraying steam on the cane to melt and remove wax and field dirt on the surface of the cane, and removing the melted wax and condensed steam below said conveyor. Sugar cane juice, produced by subjecting the steamed cane to roller action, is treated with active carbon to yield a clarified juice. The clarified juice is evaporated to form direct white sugar and edible molasses. The wax is collected, purified and molded into cakes. Adding an alkaline material to the expressed juice precipitates out soaps.
