Why do you need lime to make yellow sugar by indigenous method?

The function of quicklime in sugar production. The function of quicklime in sugar production is to use quicklime to clarify sugar solution. In this method, quicklime is added into sugarcane juice in the form of lime milk to form calcium sulfite precipitate and calcium phosphate precipitate with SO2 and phosphoric acid, so as to achieve the effect of adsorbing and removing colloid and pigment in sugar juice. Therefore, sugar factories in the sugar industry need a lot of quicklime.

There are local enterprises that produce quicklime to supply these sugar factories. For example, there are many sugar factories in Wuxuan, and a large number of quicklime and calcium oxide are ordered for sugar production every year. Lime powder with particle size of 50 ~ 300 meshes is commonly used in the process of clarifying sugar solution. Powdered quicklime has small particles and large specific surface area, which can be quickly neutralized in water and maintain a high concentration of CaOH2.

The role of yellow sugar.

The sweetness is very high, and the components of yellow sugar are rich. In addition to sweetness, there is a unique special flavor. Suitable for foods with simple methods, such as making red bean soup, yellow sugar cake, black tea, coffee and so on. The sweetness is mellow and unique. Because of its high sweetness and purity, it can be used to prepare drinks or make western-style cakes without affecting the original taste of other materials.

And has the effect of fluffy pastry texture. Because yellow sugar is produced by indigenous method, not refined by chemical method, it maintains the original flavor of sugarcane sugar and is used by many high-grade foods today.
