Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of sugarcane sugar production, specifically a sugar production method for improving the production efficiency of baked goods and pastries. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main sugar production processes for sugarcane are the sulfite process and the carbonation process. The sulfite process has a short flow and simple equipment, and is used by more than 95% of sugarcane sugar mills in China. However, the white sugar produced by the sulfite process is directly used in baked goods and pastries, resulting in a complex production process and low yield. Low product yield inevitably increases the operating costs of enterprises. Therefore, we propose a sugar production method to improve the production efficiency of baked goods and pastries, reduce the production process, increase production efficiency, reduce enterprise operating costs, and facilitate large-scale production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sugar-making method that improves the production efficiency of baked goods and pastries. This method involves producing white granulated sugar using the sulfite process, and then adding wheat flour in different proportions. The sugar prepared by this method can be used as a base material for baked goods and pastries production, which can reduce the production process of baked goods and pastries such as cakes and cookies, improve production efficiency, and reduce enterprise operating costs. This is of great significance for enterprises to produce baked goods and pastries on a large scale.

[0004] The present invention is implemented as follows: a sugar-making method for improving the production efficiency of baked goods includes the following steps:

[0005] A sugar-making method for improving the production efficiency of baked goods and pastries, characterized by the following steps:

[0007] B. Pre-liming: Add calcium sucrose to the mixed juice and adjust the pH to 6.8-7.2;

[0008] C. Physical impurity removal: The pre-ashed mixed juice is passed through a drum screen, a heated skimming device, and a microporous filter in sequence to remove impurities physically, resulting in filtered clear juice.

[0009] D. First concentration: The filtered juice is concentrated using an MVR concentrator to obtain concentrated juice and sugarcane water with a Brix of 18-20°Bx.

[0010] E. Activated carbon filtration: Activated carbon filters are used to filter the raw sugarcane water;

[0011] F. Reverse osmosis membrane filtration: The raw sugarcane water filtered by activated carbon is further purified and filtered using an organic reverse osmosis membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 100 Da to obtain sugarcane plant water.

[0012] G. Sulfur fumigation neutralization: Sulfur dioxide is added to the concentrated juice obtained from the first concentration through a sulfur fumigation neutralizer, and then lime milk is added to adjust the pH value to 6.8-7.3 to obtain neutralized juice;

[0013] H. Heating: Heat the neutralized juice to 100-105°C;

[0014] I. Sedimentation: Add flocculant to the heated neutralized juice, and pass it into a sedimentation tank for sedimentation and separation to obtain clear juice;

[0015] J. Second concentration: The clarified juice is concentrated using a five-effect concentration tank to obtain a syrup with a Brix of 55-65°Bx.

[0016] K. Crystallization: The syrup is boiled into a sugar paste in a crystallization tank according to the conventional white sugar boiling process;

[0017] L. Molasses separation: The sugar paste is separated from the molasses using a centrifuge to obtain granulated sugar;
