The commercially grown Indian cane variety has sucrose content around 12-14% at peak maturity
stage. Due to pre and post milling losses average sugar recovery remain in the range of 9.5-10.0%. This is a
serious situation, which affect the overall performance and profitability of sugar industry. Therefore, regular
use of an effective broad-spectrum chemical is important in improving sugar recovery at mill level. In the view
of above facts, the investigation has been done with application of thiocarbamate based chemicals. The
comparative activity of thiocarbamate-based chemicals was tested against invertase enzyme and sucrose contain
in sugar cane juice. Two different commercial chemicals (1) SUGARBAG PLUSTM and (2) KILLBACT TM were
applied @ 5 ppm, @10 ppm and @ 15 ppm with control. SUGARBAG PLUSTM
@ 10 ppm and KILLBACT
TM @ 15 ppm. Dextran, sucrose and reducing sugar were analyzed periodically with thiocarbamate chemicals
treatments, and data were analyzed with analysis of variance. SUGARBAG PLUSTM @ 15 ppm was found best
treatment because lowest dextran content was observed in this study.
