| Abstract: | Conversion to combine harvesters has resulted in Louisiana sugarcane growers
delivering a more perishable product to raw sugar factories. Dextran formation
increases as the time between harvest and milling is extended. Milling of freshly
cut sugarcane reduces the formation of dextran and associated economic losses.
One approach available to factories to reduce dextran formation is to extend the
harvested sugarcane delivery schedule to the mill. A simulation model was developed
to evaluate alternative delivery schedules at raw sugar factories. Economic
losses in product value associated with dextran formation were estimated and
compared for various extended delivery schedules. |
