DRD - Dedini Refinado Direto (Dedini Direct Refined) - The Refined Sugar Without the Refinery

摘要

Production of granulated refined sugar from sugarcane has shown little evolution in the last years in Brazil. This paper describes the new process of fabrication of refined sugar, DRD-Dedini Refinado Direto (Dedini Direct Refined), that allows the production of refined sugar directly from sugarcane juice, with only one crystallization - and compares it to the conventional process. Tests conducted in sugar mills in Brazil, the results obtained, and the advantages of the new process are presented.
