The illustration demonstrates the process of turning sugar cane into sugar. Overall, the process is broken down into seven steps that can be categorized into four main categories. Planting, harvesting, crushing, and processing.
To begin with, the carbohydrate cane is grown for around 12-18 months. After that, the second step is to harvest the sugar cane which can be done manually by the farmers or with the help of a machine.
After the sugar canes are harvested, the farmers put it into a machine specialized to crush it in order to extract the liquid. After that, we start to process the liquid using the help of machines. In the fourth step, it is put through a limestone filter to purify the juice. From this, the extracted juice is put into an evaporator over heat, to turn the liquid into syrup. It is then put into a centrifuge to separate the sugar crystals from the syrup. Lastly, the sugar is dried and cooled in the seventh step.
