The physico-biochemical constitution of cane delivered to sugar mills plays a pivotal role in determining the sugar recovery. AIDS-(acid invertase-dextran sucrase) complex has the most detrimental effect on sugar recovery. In sub-tropical India, cane supplies are not delivered strictly on the basis of maturity. As a result, large quantities of acid invertase and other non-sugars are released during milling. This is further compounded by long cut-to-mill delay (3 to 10 days) favouring increased inversion of sucrose, production of acid and dextran.
