Our main business area is the production of refined cane sugar and sugar by-products. We believe in diversification through setting up new manufacturing facilities and equity participation. The manufacturing process of sugar and its by-products is as follow:
Sugar obtained from sugarcane contains 99.5 percent sucrose, commonly known as cane sugar. Sucrose belongs to a group of carbohydrates called disaccharides. It is soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol and ether, crystallises in long, slender needles, and is dextrorotatory. Upon hydrolysis, sucrose yields a mixture of glucose and fructose, which are levorotatory. The mixture obtained is known as invert sugar, and the process is known as inversion. Inversion is carried on in the human intestine through the aid of enzymes known as invertase and sucrase. When heated to temperatures above 180 ° C (356° F), sucrose becomes the amorphous, brown, syrupy substance called caramel.
Sugar is not only used as a constituent in industrial and home made food, but also as raw material in fermentation to produce ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, glycerine and citric acid.
