Sugarcane Thesis
Chapter 1: Project Background
Introduction:
Sugar cane is the major source of sugar. In Central Luzon, Tarlac has the largest plantation of sugar cane. In Angeles City, companies like Weaverscraft, Incorporated, Golden Cane Furniture Manufacturing, R.A.D.S. Furniture and Modelo, and ZAIJO Woodline Incorporated are into sugar cane business. (Yalwa, 2008) Since, Angeles City is said to be the “Sister City of Makati City”, many would assume that it is purely centralized. The proponents observed the lack of the preservation of the environment in the city. There are masses of industrial fields that are converted to new bridges, villas, buildings, malls, and subdivisions. The proponents arise with converting sugar cane’s skin into blinds. The sugar cane’s skin usually goes to the manufacturer’s garbage bins. Since the proponents are into the preservation of the nature, the skin of the sugar cane will no longer be a trash. Instead, it will be used as the raw material of a unique and creative household decoration – blinds.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Sugarcane, or Sugar cane, is any of six to 37 of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum. Native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia, they have stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in sugar, and measure two to six meters (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids.
Sugarcane belongs to the grass family (Poaceae), an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum and many forage crops. The main product of sugarcane is sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol, a low pollution fuel. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry.
Sugarcane is the world's largest crop. The world demand for sugar

    Explore the history of the sweetener (when it was developed, its composition). Sucrose, according to our text, is composed of one glucose (the most common sugar molecule) molecule and one fructose (the sweetest natural sugar) molecule. The bond is called glycosidic linkage. Because of this mixture, Sucrose is known to be sweeter than lactose or maltose (the other 2 out of the 3 most common disaccharides, which is a carbohydrate compound consisting of 2 or more molecules joined together). The history of sucrose dates back to thousands and thousands of years ago when the sugar cane was discovered in the South Pacific, rumored specifically to have been found in New Guinea. Its molecular formula is C12H22O11. (taken from Wikipedia)…

    In terms of the important history of sugar that effected people until currently by having a huge part in trading and being one of the reasons of slavery. Firstly, before many years the consuming of sugar was the highest between the other products, which was the reason of the dramatic Increase of trading. “Sugar was by far the most important of the overseas commodities that accounted for a third of Europe's entire economy”. ( Whipps, 2008). For example, Sugar trading began from Spain and Portugal and it has expanded to South America, and then it expanded whole world. (ShahThis, 2003)…

    The main trisaccharides (raffinose, kestoses and theanderose) isolated from cane sugar are composed primarily of a monosaccharide molecule (glucose/fructose/galactose) bonded to a molecule of sucrose. The kestoses (1-, 6- and neo-) are composed of a fructose molecule attached to a sucrose molecule (Figure 6). The kestoses (1-kestose, 6-kestose and neokestose) are formed by the addition of a fructosyl residue to a sucrose molecule. The emergence of the different kestose isomers arises from the substitution of the fructosyl residue on any one of the three primary alcohol groups on the sucrose molecule (Suzuki & Chatterton, 1993). The 6-kestose isomer arises from the glycosidic linkage of the fructose residue of sucrose in position 6 to an additional fructose molecule in the 2β position (6→2β) (Heldt, H. & Heldt, F,…

    Sugar has become such a naturally common thing in our day to day lives, more specifically cane sugar. It’s used in our day to day lives, from our coffee’s and Kool Aid’s. To our cereals and pastries, but how did this sweet substance get into our pantries? The reason this substance got into our everyday homes is because of the sugar trade. What is the sugar trade? The sugar trade was the global trading of sugars from the West Indies to Britain, France and Brazil.

    Ironically, sugar cane is not a plant native to the Americas. It is a perennial grass whose tropical species seems to have originated in New Guinea, and subtropical species in India. During the invasion of India in 326 B.C., Alexander the Great's soldiers became the first Europeans to see sugar cane; honey was the primary sweetener of the Western world at the time. Arab traders and Moorish conquerors spread the plant throughout the Mediterranean region, introducing it in Spain around 714 A.D.…

    Before extracting techniques were developed, people used to chew on sugar canes and suck the juice out. I remember my mom did that with me once. We went to an Asian market and she bought pure sugarcane. When we got home she chopped it up, and gave it to my brother and I. It was all tough and stringy, and tasted slightly vegetable-y, but not in a weird way. She grew up in the Philippines, and that was one of the treats they used to get when they were good.…

    American Sugar Revolution

    The American sugar industry evolved between 1500 and 1800 as planters adopted innovations in land use and in the mills. The Spanish began commercial sugar production in Hispaniola; the Portuguese followed shortly thereafter in Brazil. The sugar cane is not a native plant of the western hemisphere; it originated from New Guinea and subtropical India. Sugar plantation economy was based on agricultural mass production of sugar cane. Evidently, the rise of sugar economies points out to a transformative power of a single commodity, which resulted to crop determinism.(1) To this effect, economies of the Caribbean colonies expanded massively in the sense that sugar plantations shifted to production that realized…
