For this, the physicochemical analysis of the cane juice samples were carried out, obtaining the following data of the parameters evaluated: for Nanegal 0.0311 % Ca, 1.08 % reducing sugars, 5.52 pH and 0.04 % titratable acidity were obtained meanwhile for the samples of Palo Quemado 0.0258 % of Ca, reducing sugars 2.69 %, pH 5.45 and 0.08 % titratable acidity were recorded. To determine the influence of the charcoal of the rice husk in the cane juice to improve the quality of the granulated raw sugar cane, 3 batches of product were elaborated (without coal, with coal at 5 g and 10 g), By means of the ADVA the statistical significance of the factors was obtained and with the tukey test at 5% it was established that the best result was the raw sugar cane made with 5g of coal, because it has a compaction of 2323 GF with a humidity of 3% which is within the parameters established by the NTE INEN 2332:2002 standard. One sample was exposed to 73% humidity environment and another to 65% humidity with fans, humidity was measured every 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours, the best result was raw sugar cane exposed to 65% humidity with fans since in the span of 3 hours it had a humidity of 5,27 %. We conclude that activated coal is an alternative to reduce the compaction that occurs in granulated raw sugar cane, it is also easily accessible and has an accessible price for producers. |
