MODIFIED FAUCONNIER - HUNSIGI FORMULAE FOR ESTIMATING POL IN CANE

摘要

Primary juice samples were drawn from GSM Ltd., (PHE Mills) at half an hour interval to estimate pol, brix and purity and such quality estimates were made for 30 days. Pol in cane was estimated by the modified Fauconnier - Hunsigi (F-H) formulae. Multiple regressions were drawn between pol% cane by F-H formulae and related to sugar recovery. Confidence belts were drawn and significance was tested by students 't' test. It is amply demonstrated that pol in cane estimated by F-H formulae satisfactorily predicts the sugar recovery across varieties and management practice. The Fauconnier - Hunsigi formulae is simple, robust and easy to estimate pol in cane.
