The above diagram illustrates hoe sugar is manufactured through the help of sugar cane .
The 7 step process begins with harvesting the sugarcane and ends with production of sugar. This is achieved by processing the sugarcane through various methods to produce the sugar.
The process starts with cultivating the sugarcane plant which takes about 12-18 months to fully mature. Then, the sugarcane is harvested through the help of machinery or human power. Next, the harvested sugarcane is crushed and juice is extracted from the sugarcane plant.
At step 4, the extracted juice is passed through a limestone filter to remove unwanted debries from the juice. Then, the purified juice is evaporated to produce a syrup. Which then goes through the centrifuge process which separates sugar crystals from syrup. Lastly , the separated sugar crystals left for drying and cooling.
