Sugarcane enjoys a prominent position among agro-industrial crops
and is commercially grown in 115 tropical and subtropical countries
around the world. However, fluctuations in sugar prices have forced
the sugarcane industry worldwide to broaden its revenue base by
moving from single-commodity manufacturing to a range of
value-added products. Utilizing the by-products in an innovative
manner to create value-added products is the new course of action
for sugar-producing countries. For many years sugarcane was
regarded as a single-product crop, i.e., only useful for producing
sugar. Its actual potential is now increasingly being recognised by
the industry and there is a growing trend toward the manufacturing
of allied products from sugarcane. Therefore, the focus is now on
the establishment of sugar-agro-industry complexes, processing not
just sugar but a range of other products. This book provides a
comprehensive overview of sugarcane not only as a source of
sweetening agents but also for many other uses, including as a
source of bio-energy. It also explores the trend of sugar
consumption and suggests practices to curb the consumption of sugar
products in order to tackle obesity and reduce public health costs.
The book underscores the need to diversify sugarcane and highlights
means of doing so, while also addressing various innovations and
technologies being developed in connection with sugar, sugar
derivatives, and sugar industry by-products for sustainable
utilization in the sugar-agro industry. Accordingly, it offers a
valuable resource for professionals and R&D units in the sugar
industry, and for students of agronomy and related fields.
