Sugar and Starch Flashcards
The first preparation of dextrose that led to the development of the corn-sugar
industry in this country.
1811
This equipment is used to remove the particles contained in cane juice.
Sugar Clarifier
This equipment is one of the most significant parts of raw cane sugar production,
because this equipment is used to purify the cane juice.
Liming Tank
They are the largest sugar producer in the Philippines and one of the largest sugar
mills and refineries in Asia. It meets roughly 30% of the country’s daily demand for
refined sugar.
Victorias Milling
Under this agreement, the annual tariff on imported sugar is only 5%, which started in
January 2015, a threat to the sugar producers in the Philippines.

What are the two polysaccharide that bonded to composed starch
Amylose and Amylopectin
These are large vertical tanks with conical bottoms, used to soften the kernel,
allowing for separation of the germ without cracking during milling
Steep Tank
Also known as roasted starch; it is used to make a great number of different pastes,
gums, and adhesives.
Dextrin
Unit operation used to separate corn germs and corn oil.
Solvent Extraction
Root crop that is used in production of Tapioca (starch), which is considered big in
the Philippines.
Cassava
Are caloric, sweet-tasting compounds that occur widely in nature, including fruits,
vegetables, honey, and human and dairy milk.
SUGAR
This raw material is used to capture and remove impurities in sugar beets or cane
juice.
LIME
A by-product in sugar production, it is a dry fibrous residue that remains after the
extraction of juice from sugarcane
BAGASSE
A by-product in sugar production, it is the contaminants removed through the
extraction of the juice. It is used in the production of fertilizer.
FILTER MUD
The remaining syrup after all the sucrose is obtained. It is produced after a
continuous crystallization process. Molasses are also utilized to produce acetic acid,
yeast, and rum.
MOLASSES
This can be used as animal feed, mixed with molasses to form pellets, and utilized as
valuable feed for cattle feeders, dairies, and lamb feeding operations.
BEET PULP
It is one of the most common substances existing in nature and is the major basic
constituent of the average diet.
STARCH
The first civilization that uses starch as an adhesive and stiffener to paper.
EGYPTIAN
The most used starch source accounting for more than 70% of global production.
CORN
A unit process used to create corn syrup out of cornstarch.
HYDROLYSIS
is a member of the grass family. It has a bamboolike stalk, grows to a height of from 8 to 15 ft, and contains 11 to 15% sucrose by weight.
Sugarcane
The familiar sugar sucrose can be obtained from many sources besides cane, such as maple syrup and palm sugar. However, the great commercial sources are sugarcane
and sugar beets. The sugar beet differs from the ordinary table beet in that it is much larger and not red. Because of their sugar value, sugar beets are an important crop in many parts of
the world.
Beet Sugar
used to capture and remove impurities in sugar beets or cane juice.
Lime
is also used to remove impurities since some juices do not contain a small
amount of phosphates that do not clarify well.
Phosphoric Acid
It owns
and operates big milling operations and is the second-largest sugar refiner in the Philippines.
Roxas Holdings Inc. (RHI)
Their combined milling capacity is 31,000 tons of sugar cane, and they produce 33,000 bags of sugar a day. They are also involved in producing
fuel-grade anhydrous ethanol suitable for gasoline blending.
Universal Robina Corporation’s
owned by the Chan Family the largest producer of raw sugar in Negros Oriental and one Of the pioneers in the sugar industry here in the Philippines. It was established in 1918 by the Compania General de Tabacos de Filipinas, also known as
Tabacalera.
Central Azucarera de Bais (CAB)
was established due to the success of Central Azucarera de Bais (CAB).
Central Azucarera De San Antonio (CASA)
became a legal corporation in 1927 and renewed in 1976. Its plants, including sugar mills and refineries, distilleries, and carbon dioxide, are located in Barrio San Miguel, Tarlac City.
Central Azucarera de Tarlac (CAT)
– used in Europe accounting for 12% of global production.
Potatoes
used in Europe and Australia accounting for 8% of global production.
Wheat –
used in Asia accounting for 1% of global production.
Rice
used in South East Asia and South America accounting for 9% of global
production
Tapioca
