When it comes to baking, sugar is essential for those who are skilled in this art. If the coffee is too bitter and astringent for you, simply add some sugar. Feeling unhappy? Have something sweet. Some studies have shown that eating sweets can help release dopamine.
Indeed, sugar is ubiquitous in our daily lives. And how can we gain a deeper understanding of such an important substance? Sugarcane can provide answers.
Approximately 80% of sugar is made from sugarcane, which means that most of the sugar we use is extracted from sugarcane.
Sugarcane plays a crucial role in our lives. But is this its only use? How much do we really know about it?
In this article：
Why sugarcane become the main source of sugaring?
From its name we can know it's a cane that is rich in sugar.
Before sugarcane spreaded to Europe, sugar is always be treat as a luxurious spice. Once European found sugarcane in 4th sencury BC, it was be regard as "reeds produce honey without bees".
Another reason is that sugarcane has unique way to growing: Many lateral buds grow from the base, and multiple lateral buds grow into stems.
It can grow from the lateral buds instead of seeds, which means it can growing very fast after harvesting.
It is a tropical herb, so most sugacane is found in the tropics .
Sugarcane likes heat and humidity,and this characteristic make some countries became the biggest localities of growth in the world: Brazil(37.69%) India(22.86).
Sugar refinery technology can be traced back thousands of years ago.
The production of sugarcane sugar was first recorded in India's Vedas and China's "Songs of Chu" in 300 BC.
French "sucre", German "zucker", and Russian "сахар" are in different languages, but they all sound similar because they all come from the Sanskrit word "sarkara", which means sugar.
Sugar refinery has developed a great deal, but the processes are similar.
It is roughly divided into the following steps: sugarcane felling - sugarcane juicing - natural settlement - adding chemicals to remove impurities - sanding.
After these steps, the sugar we use nowadays is initially formed.
Sugarcane may be an alternative to gasoline.
As a high-energy plant, sugarcane can produce ethanol. In some studies, it is more efficient than vegetables and sugar beets.
Due to its characteristics, the input required for producing ethanol from sugarcane is lower than that of other plants capable of producing ethanol.
In Brazil, gasoline must contain at least 22% ethanol, and this proportion may increase in the future.
Sugarcane can also be used to generate electricity.
In some countries, especially those short on fossil fuels but rich in sugarcane, they use bagasse from sugarcane to produce steam and then use the steam to generate electricity.
In TCM(traditional Chineses medicine) field , sugarcane is not only a raw material of sugar production, but is covered with treasure.
-sugarcane can reduce inter heat by taking the soup cooked with sugarcane.
-Sugarcane peel can be used to treat aphthea in chinldren.
-The tender buds between the nodes of sugarcane can treat diabetes.
-Sugarcane can also detoxify tetrodotoxin.
with the increasing frequency of plastic products such as bags, cups, and takeout boxes, environmental problems have become a global issue.
People are looking for something that can be an alternative to plastic.
Sure enough, sugarcane comes into the picture again.
After juicing, sugarcane will become bagasse, and bagasse a juiced residue rich in plant fiber . After that, it will be purefied and dried.
After a seires of preparatory work, bagasse is trong and of tenacity enough to be processed into some disposable products: cup, bag, takeout box, etc..
At present, sugarcane planting technology is mature,and the sugarcane yield is enough for a great demand.
Compare with other natural material, bagasse has better strength and tenacity, and compared with plastic materials, this material is safer and more reliable: it will not release harmful substances as the temperature changes, so it's more suitable for takout box and other food or drink container.
As a eco-friendly products, the most imortant charateristic of bagasse is that it can be degraded naturally, which means it's biodegradable and compostable(learn more:Compostable Paper Cup Lids: What It Is & What It Means ). Bagasse products can be degraded naturally whthin 60-90 days, while for plastic it will take 100 years.
