    1965 Tantawi The Egyptian Sugar Cane Diffusion Process.pdf
    (ISSCT, 1965)
    The paper explores the historical evolution of equipment for sugar cane juice extraction in Egypt, emphasizing the progression from manual to steam engine-driven mills. It details the sugar extraction process from sugarcane, highlighting the operations of rupturing juice-containing cells and diluting residual juice. The evolution of sugar extraction methods and machinery towards modern mills is a key focus of the paper.

    1974 Gosnell Some Effects of Drying Off Before Harvest on Cane Yield and Quality.pdf
    (ISSCT, 1974)
    Drying off treatments before harvest were studied in sugarcane crops to assess their effects on yield and quality. Various drying off levels were applied across different seasons, impacting cane yield, sucrose content, and recoverable sugar percentage. Optimal drying off levels were determined for different harvest seasons, showing increases in sugar yields per hectare and per volume of water applied. Recommendations on drying off procedures were provided.

    1989 Inman-Bamber Cane Payment System Used in South Africa.pdf
    (ISSCT, 1989)
    In South Africa, sugar cane sampling and analysis utilize the Direct Analysis of Cane (DAC) method. Cane is sampled through a conveyor system, eventually reaching the cane sampler for extraction. The process involves a microprocessor cane tracker, sampling at intervals for efficient analysis.
