The diagram illustrates how sugar is made from sugar cane.
Overall, the process consists of 7 steps, beginning with growing sugar cane plants and ending with drying sugar crystals ready for consumption.
Initially, the process commences with the cultivation of sugar cane, which reaches maturity after a period of 12-18 months. The mature sugar cane is then harvested, either manually or using machinery. Subsequently, the sugar canes are crushed to extract the juice.
Following this, the extracted juice undergoes purification by passing through a limestone filter to eliminate impurities. The purified juice is evaporated to produce syrup. The syrup is then subjected to a centrifuging process to separate sugar crystals from the remaining liquid. Finally, the crystals are dried, cooled, and stored for packaging and distribution.
