Abstract (AB)Data from thirty-five years crushing seasons have been used to highlight the relationship between cane quality and impurities from mixed juice and sucrose loss in Mauritian molasses. Characteristics of Mauritian molasses are examined, notably the magnitude of sucrose loss, molasses exhaustion in terms of the target purity difference, and the effect of the boiling process on the removal of non-sucrose present in the raw material.
