I live in Jamaica our sugar is not refined to the typical white sugar its a golden color and the crystals much larger. India was the first country to make refined white sugar.
@rosenibohorquez Yes that would be nice but what I want more is a chest to pin it on. I'm a frail old man and the weight of the medal might make me fall over. Make it a small one something nice maybe gold plated.
Mistake…the sugar juice is not boiled at higher pressures but at lower pressures by means of vacuum systems (condensers and vacuum pumps). This allows boiling to take place at lower temperatures and thus prevents carmelizing…or scorching…of the sugar.

@milliondollarman13 In Australia, we have sugar Mills, and they produce local brown and raw sugar as well as white sugar. But I'd never much thought about the process involved in processing the sugar cane.
Never thought it was so complicated to extract sugar from cane. How about the process from beets? The video gave an intro about the source from beets, but missed on the factory process of extracting sugar from beets. Would love to see that as well.
I work in the industry and it’s the exact same process. The only difference is our molasses product is too high in minerals and people don’t like it, but animals do, no part goes to waste.
It's pretty cool to see the sugar beets go to the factory and how they go from beets to sugar, really cool to see the brown sugar, the sugar with molasses, in a centrifuge and spun. The molasses goes to storage vats and the now white sugar goes to be bagged and shipped. I've been to two factorys and got to see the process. Kind of neat you see our beets go from seeds to beets growing to harvest - the defoliator removing the leaves, the digger pulling the beets out of the ground, the beets then going up a chain elevator and the beets going into our trucks -the boxes of our straight trucks ( the front of the box lifts up with the end gate opening to let the beets fall out and into the hopper of the beet piler) and the live bottom trailers (a belt on the bottom of the trailer moves from the front of the trailer to the rear, then circles back to the front to push the beets out of the trailer into the hopper of the beet piler), up the conveyor belt of the piler to be piled until the rehaul semi trucks haul the beets from the pile to the factory. I've seen that part many times from more than a few of our trucks over the years. And the beets make a very loud noise when they get dropped on the roof of your beet truck 😄 definitely makes sure we drivers are awake Sometimes we will see a red sugar beets or a red and white striped sugar beets in the field, but those are fairly rare

I was the only person that helped and I also opened my home to them.

They stayed in hotels after that and I never participated in any event since
How long does it take, from the time raw cane is delivered to the refinery to the time white sugar is sent to the packaging line? This is the only thing missing from an excellent video.
In my knowledge, depend on the process. But considering the process in the video of removing colour using sulfitation, sugar production from raw to finish product should take less than 24 hour to complete.

I used to be an Elevator mechanic and we used to service the elevators in Domino's sugar factory in Yonkers New York. It's an old factory so they had some wild elevators that were grandfathered in. One elevator was called a man lift. Just a conveyer belt of steps that went up to different levels. It was not stopping and you had to jump on and jump off. It went up several flights. Let's say, you didn't want to miss your floor! Also they had what was called a "broom" closet elevator. Imagine a coffin that moves vertical. You couldn't ride it if you were claustrophobic. One thing this video doesn't tell you is... The refining process of sugar is absolutely disgusting and leaves a sickening smell of dead bodies and pure funk in the air. The domino's factory while unique, had an absolutely disgusting smell to it. What they do to sugar to make it "white" is insane.
I hope somebody reading this can help us Eastern Michigan. We have a company name pioneer sugar the last few years they really started dumping into the black river. We get a constant foam from the plant now we’ve called several times reported it but nothing gets done they just shrug it off and say it’s organic, but we have to put up with the odors and the disgusting look that floats across the water game and fish. Won’t do anything about it either. I am so furious. .😡😡😡 what can we do To stop this
Around 4:25, higher pressure increases boiling point. So the statement in video is the wrong way round. I've just seen the other comments. Others have pointed this out already.
You got the pressure/boiling temperature thing backwards. more pressure means a HIGHER boiling temperature. That's why you can boil water at room temperature in a vacuum chamber, like they show in a lot of junior high science classes.
My father dislikes to eat sugary things. As sweet as he can eat these days are chocolate chip cookies, raisins and fruits. I can eat anything way sweeter than them. I still love them. I would continue eating such foods till I die.🍭
Each evaporator should be operating at a lower pressure to get successively lower boiling temperatures. The gauges on the evaporators are also shown running from zero on the right side to a maximum of 30 on the left side, which is range evaporation happens, between 0 inches of mercury relative to atmosphere to ~29 inches of mercury relative to atmospheric.
Oh my giddy aunt! What a heck of a process to get to a spoonful in my cuppa! I may have to consider giving it up - if I wasn't so weak-willed. Excellent video, thank you.

@@tatumergo3931 That may or may not be true. But the video was named "How sugar is made" not how sugarcane sugar is made. And they even mention that more sugar is made from beets. Therefore I want to know how that process is done.
the energy consumption vs. the profit Is indeed an interesting thought.. May be its a volume business and not everyone is not producing sugar at this scale to cover the market demand .perhaps...
4:24 - This is an error. Evaporators are not under increased pressure, they are usually under vacuum. Vacuum reduces the boiling temperature. If the evaporators were under increased pressure like the video says that would actually increase the boiling point, not reduce it.
The extraction of sugar cane juice from the sugarcane plant, and the subsequent domestication of the plant in tropical India and Southeast Asia sometime around 4,000 BC. The invention of manufacture of cane sugar granules from sugarcane juice in India a little over two thousand years ago, followed by improvements in refining the crystal granules in India in the early centuries AD. The spread of cultivation and manufacture of cane sugar to the medieval Islamic world together with some improvements in production methods. 👍🏼
0:33 Those are not sugar beets, those are red beets lol sugar beets are much larger and light brown in colour! The title should be "How sugar is made from sugar cane" since the process is much different, if you use sugar beets
1:56 The crushed ‘caine is spread out on a mirror and divided into lines using a credit card and then insufflated using various notes of different denominations.
Now consider just how many products have such a long and interesting process for them to reach the shopping center. The amount of different machines that were invented and refined in order to process things as cleanly, cheaply and efficiently as possible is pretty crazy. I swear at least half the population doesn't even understand the complexity of our economies. I've literally seen people argue that cows shouldn't be milked and asked where they'd get their dairy from it was replied "the shops"...
Fun fact, because it is so calorie dense, sugar is highly flammable (do not try this at home), and managing these kinds of quantities (when refined) requires special safety precaution to prevent an explosion Not too long ago a chocolate/candy factory exploded in Pennsylvania
Bagasse cellulose can be made into sanitary towels and diaper-nappies when the crop is grown in countries where displaced peoples have aid and jobs, thereby having them as part of a staff package so that points are earned for the sanitary-towels which have OAuth2OpenIDConnectWalletFoundation Q-R codes and hashes written all over them _(printed adhoc per person associated, along with altitude, longitude, bearings and altitude and time-date stamps on them)._ In the right timeline, rather than only being 'free no-matter-what' female-hygiene products get "beeped" and dropped off for disease testing at automatic biology lab booths or female lavatories in exchange for earned-points. In various forms (sometimes refined) sugar travels well (especially glucose) as a "dead-food" which never goes off, and Israel rightly include it as a MRE prepping. Where high salted soils _(Australia being an example but other world locations such as the Islamic world regions)_ struggle to grow crops, selectively bred salt tolerant crops (like rice) can be grown whereby solar _(and sometimes 'nuclear burned' radioactive waste fuels)_ power desalination of water which is then used to flood the arid soils _(eventually using up the salts and reducing the salt in the soils as a byproduct of the actions)_ and feed people. Hydroponics in addition can be boosted by the sugars (as a plant food) to supplement artifical light crops to grow early before being planted outside. The aforementioned digital identifying technologies can track everything _(such as by Markov-chains, and Gaussian-heatmaps or kernel density estimation like Parzen-Rosenblatt window method or a non-probability solution via Lorenz-versus-Laplacian weighting)_ for logistics too. Ethanol dual motorbikes (and electric) can overcome range-anxiety, as can small _(Ford-Fiesta postman-Pat sized vans)_ which can run on pyrolysis diesel-dual-battery powered charging motors to overcome range anxiety or the need to have more pulling power for heavy loads or for transporting 2 people in the front with a cargo or folding up the passenger seats as an extra 2 rows for 6 or more people like a Citroen DX might have done. The main thing though is that sugar, if stored right, simply will not expire as a glucose molecule and neither do some salts thereby making it worthy as a displaced-people's MRE food and low-power computing energy source. Even though grain silos are a reasonable source of carbohydrate and proteins _(especially if legumes or beans are added into a dish),_ salt tolerant crops like rice (with added multivitamin pills) can make a sugar sweeten dish, at which point, in order to qualify to get it, the person has to use their digital identity nagging prepping material to look after their teeth and get the dental powder associated. Ethanol _(and other alcohols including propanol or methanol, and acids associated like methanoic acid for frost removale at aircrafts)_ can be used in training for jobs for cleaning (hygiene) and electronics and fueling. Various plant celluloses can be made into tiger-token or benson-and-hedges tokens style coupon-vouchers as collector cards for prepping information and earned comms connections data allowances. Corn-Syrup is sometimes more useful but really that is down to geographical location of optimised crop growing techniques and export logistics and costing. Where those crops are less likely to be a model that works with business analysis, the sugars serve the above functions. Geothermal power (Italy, New Zealand, Iceland, various USA influenced lands) is so abundant a power source technology that its desalination technologies can be used to support that such as bringing potable and crop usage water to the South of New Zealand, at which point the extraction of valuable periodic table elements (and molecules) from the byproduct salts can be powered also by geothermal or volcanism power technologies. Sugar however (for example in the glucose form) is not only portable but can sit in a place as a prepping stock and it won't expire if treated well. Humic material byproduct matter can be used to make improved soils in barren regions whereby growing trees and similar crops can reduce the surface temperature to increase rainfall such that the rain does not evaporate before hitting the ground. Geothermal "greenhouse basements" in Iceland to grow chocolate _(mitigated by artifical light hydroponics)_ would be rather nifty, as would pineapple. Dates in Lebanon via an Ecopeace style model with Jordan would be a good desalination or water-management income approach for locals, just as long as efficiency was heavily computerised _(which is also handy because you additionally end up wih a Rosetta-Stone effect for documentation and man-pages and proprietary software)._ That whole Middle_East barren landscape is like a Mars-Rover computer potential to deploy a bunch of computing _(including Linux and BSD and OpenIndiana of course, plus proprietary softwares)_ so that the homework _(and means to get media creation going)_ is there before the people show up the moreso. Deploying British UK QWERTY keyboards is important, emphasising the pronunciation of the letter 'O'. The man pages and Unix-time-stamp are the unavoidable anglosphere Rosetta-Stone. Translation of the english language is inevitable, and english language totally nailed it on the Civilisation-Alpha-Centauri RTS gaming technology tree, except for real IRL. Union-Jack smoking-jackets and bath-robes FTW. The only thing that comes close is how some music is more meowable than others. Everybody does that. Yes, everybody. In terms of refugees and displaced people getting the sugar MRE, especially with it being addictive, the identity-associated prepping-homework would be completed before you get to open the tamper-proof packaging, and even then they'd need to be using the dental powder scheme. These things have to be rationalised. If I were given a Jewish sugar MRE, I'd blatantly be thinking of how to turn that glucose into moonshine (strictly for research), at the sacrifice of eating a dull food to mitigate the dietry loss. Cocoa powder and lipids would end up as an Irish Coffee or a Baileys. Everybody has something artful about their imagination, so the aformentioned earning-points is a way to reduce such inventiveness unto morality interpretations. The wrapping would force you to draw a graph or something before you can get to the good stuff. If you can't walk in a straight line, you won't be able to complete that unwrapping prerequisite. Maybe you'd need to know that an audio music player Graphic equaliser (histogram bin witha gaussian kernel on it) can undergo spectral analysis via usage of Chebyshev polynomials (and who he is), and that Gaussian eliniation (karaoke mode for example) uses it. Only then if some happenstancial skinfulness (for the top-tier completionists) "accidentally occurs" can the Karaoke bar mic be passed like the conch in Lord Of the Flies. My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.

I hope somebody reading this can help us Eastern Michigan. We have a company name pioneer sugar the last few years they really started dumping into the black river. We get a constant foam from the plant now we’ve called several times reported it but nothing gets done they just shrug it off and say it’s organic, but we have to put up with the odors and the disgusting look that floats across the water game and fish. Won’t do anything about it either. I am so furious. .😡😡😡 what can we do To stop this
suppose to be studying for an exam but here i am 😂🤦♂
Same 😂
As a bread maker,I enjoy watching this, similar to how flour is made from wheat
💪💪
Cambodia made sugar pastes-like from Palm juice which is also our One of our national treasure.
It taste alot better than typical sugar
Great video ! Thank you !
Thank you too!
Oh my gosh 😮😮😮. Wonderful
Always wondered how this drug was made!
Around 4:25, higher pressure increases boiling point. So the statement in video is the wrong way round. I've just seen the other comments. Others have pointed this out already.
"look at our how chocolate is made video right here"
*shows a video about shoes*
For clarity, when he says Lime juice he doesn’t mean the lime the fruit. He means lime from limestone. Not as appealing.
👍
OMG thank you. I was so confused why it would be called alkalization if we were adding an acid in it 😂
No sweet tooth after watching this video 😢
amazing factory
You got the pressure/boiling temperature thing backwards. more pressure means a HIGHER boiling temperature. That's why you can boil water at room temperature in a vacuum chamber, like they show in a lot of junior high science classes.
My father dislikes to eat sugary things. As sweet as he can eat these days are chocolate chip cookies, raisins and fruits. I can eat anything way sweeter than them. I still love them. I would continue eating such foods till I die.🍭
Each evaporator should be operating at a lower pressure to get successively lower boiling temperatures. The gauges on the evaporators are also shown running from zero on the right side to a maximum of 30 on the left side, which is range evaporation happens, between 0 inches of mercury relative to atmosphere to ~29 inches of mercury relative to atmospheric.
Yeah that bugged me too
In Jamaica we are taught about this from an early age as part of our hsitory
i love how not even a single part is wasted 👏🏻
Oh my giddy aunt! What a heck of a process to get to a spoonful in my cuppa! I may have to consider giving it up - if I wasn't so weak-willed. Excellent video, thank you.
Refined sugar industry including high fructose corn syrup, and the internet, will be our down fall. Imagine one day of the world wide net being down
So educative, love it.
Astonishing number of factual errors, many of them either/or situations too! I find it hard to comprehend how a person who is smart enough to read that script convincingly would not edit out some of the more glaring errors -- I'll give one example from right in the last two or three seconds, the sugar is not kept in a "high humidity" environment to keep it from caking, it's actually kept in a "low humidity" environment for exactly that purpose. See, either/or, up/down, and this video gets it wrong. "Higher pressure" means it "boils at a lower temperature", really? Huh? Go head, subscribe to this channel and spend your time getting stupider but do it with scientific precision I guess. Tragically bad channel!
WOW
so many steps
Yes 🤯
Thanks for sharing this informative video
So nice of you
Sweet! 😁
What happened with beet sugar?
@@tatumergo3931 That may or may not be true. But the video was named "How sugar is made" not how sugarcane sugar is made. And they even mention that more sugar is made from beets. Therefore I want to know how that process is done.
If you raise the pressure the boiling temperature also raises 4:22
It blows me away that this is profitable. All the energy used for boiling and drying alone is insane.
the energy consumption vs. the profit Is indeed an interesting thought..
May be its a volume business and not everyone is not producing sugar at this scale to cover the market demand .perhaps...
Cane sugar uses the left over plant fiber as fuel for a boiler
4:24 - This is an error. Evaporators are not under increased pressure, they are usually under vacuum. Vacuum reduces the boiling temperature. If the evaporators were under increased pressure like the video says that would actually increase the boiling point, not reduce it.
Yeah, a vacuum pan is used in boiling the sugar to form massecuite
amazing. to see. i grew up opposite a sugar factory
Finally no hidden stuff like how it work show
Good Work
Where do they get the sucrose crystals from?
The extraction of sugar cane juice from the sugarcane plant, and the subsequent domestication of the plant in tropical India and Southeast Asia sometime around 4,000 BC.
The invention of manufacture of cane sugar granules from sugarcane juice in India a little over two thousand years ago, followed by improvements in refining the crystal granules in India in the early centuries AD.
The spread of cultivation and manufacture of cane sugar to the medieval Islamic world together with some improvements in production methods.
👍🏼
beet sugar is better imo less chemicals used to purify sugar needed but it takes more machining to extract and more expensive
😳
OK. Now I want to see "How Sugar is Actually Made".
Hugbees doesn’t sugar coat anything. 😂
Where r all these machines from tho
🤔
Nice content 😮
Thanks 😅
0:33 Those are not sugar beets, those are red beets lol sugar beets are much larger and light brown in colour! The title should be "How sugar is made from sugar cane" since the process is much different, if you use sugar beets
1:56 The crushed ‘caine is spread out on a mirror and divided into lines using a credit card and then insufflated using various notes of different denominations.
That’s enough to put me off sugar. Sincerely, thank you!
🤯
Exactly. I had no idea about the chemicals used in sugar processing. I'm sticking to honey

@@1whitecottagelife770, right?! I’m glad for the enlightenment of the vid, even if the discovery was appalling.
I would like to hope brown sugar is better.
This gives me a whole new level of respect for Dwight Schrute
some old footage, is sugar cane still produced?
Now consider just how many products have such a long and interesting process for them to reach the shopping center. The amount of different machines that were invented and refined in order to process things as cleanly, cheaply and efficiently as possible is pretty crazy. I swear at least half the population doesn't even understand the complexity of our economies. I've literally seen people argue that cows shouldn't be milked and asked where they'd get their dairy from it was replied "the shops"...
take a shot every time he says juice
Juice dz nuts bruh
Fun fact, because it is so calorie dense, sugar is highly flammable (do not try this at home), and managing these kinds of quantities (when refined) requires special safety precaution to prevent an explosion
Not too long ago a chocolate/candy factory exploded in Pennsylvania
These factories must be at war with ants. Constantly.
I worked at a sugar refinery and it’s actually bees that swarm on the sugar not ants 😂
Bagasse cellulose can be made into sanitary towels and diaper-nappies when the crop is grown in countries where displaced peoples have aid and jobs, thereby having them as part of a staff package so that points are earned for the sanitary-towels which have OAuth2OpenIDConnectWalletFoundation Q-R codes and hashes written all over them _(printed adhoc per person associated, along with altitude, longitude, bearings and altitude and time-date stamps on them)._ In the right timeline, rather than only being 'free no-matter-what' female-hygiene products get "beeped" and dropped off for disease testing at automatic biology lab booths or female lavatories in exchange for earned-points. In various forms (sometimes refined) sugar travels well (especially glucose) as a "dead-food" which never goes off, and Israel rightly include it as a MRE prepping. Where high salted soils _(Australia being an example but other world locations such as the Islamic world regions)_ struggle to grow crops, selectively bred salt tolerant crops (like rice) can be grown whereby solar _(and sometimes 'nuclear burned' radioactive waste fuels)_ power desalination of water which is then used to flood the arid soils _(eventually using up the salts and reducing the salt in the soils as a byproduct of the actions)_ and feed people. Hydroponics in addition can be boosted by the sugars (as a plant food) to supplement artifical light crops to grow early before being planted outside. The aforementioned digital identifying technologies can track everything _(such as by Markov-chains, and Gaussian-heatmaps or kernel density estimation like Parzen-Rosenblatt window method or a non-probability solution via Lorenz-versus-Laplacian weighting)_ for logistics too.
Ethanol dual motorbikes (and electric) can overcome range-anxiety, as can small _(Ford-Fiesta postman-Pat sized vans)_ which can run on pyrolysis diesel-dual-battery powered charging motors to overcome range anxiety or the need to have more pulling power for heavy loads or for transporting 2 people in the front with a cargo or folding up the passenger seats as an extra 2 rows for 6 or more people like a Citroen DX might have done.
The main thing though is that sugar, if stored right, simply will not expire as a glucose molecule and neither do some salts thereby making it worthy as a displaced-people's MRE food and low-power computing energy source. Even though grain silos are a reasonable source of carbohydrate and proteins _(especially if legumes or beans are added into a dish),_ salt tolerant crops like rice (with added multivitamin pills) can make a sugar sweeten dish, at which point, in order to qualify to get it, the person has to use their digital identity nagging prepping material to look after their teeth and get the dental powder associated. Ethanol _(and other alcohols including propanol or methanol, and acids associated like methanoic acid for frost removale at aircrafts)_ can be used in training for jobs for cleaning (hygiene) and electronics and fueling. Various plant celluloses can be made into tiger-token or benson-and-hedges tokens style coupon-vouchers as collector cards for prepping information and earned comms connections data allowances.
Corn-Syrup is sometimes more useful but really that is down to geographical location of optimised crop growing techniques and export logistics and costing. Where those crops are less likely to be a model that works with business analysis, the sugars serve the above functions. Geothermal power (Italy, New Zealand, Iceland, various USA influenced lands) is so abundant a power source technology that its desalination technologies can be used to support that such as bringing potable and crop usage water to the South of New Zealand, at which point the extraction of valuable periodic table elements (and molecules) from the byproduct salts can be powered also by geothermal or volcanism power technologies. Sugar however (for example in the glucose form) is not only portable but can sit in a place as a prepping stock and it won't expire if treated well. Humic material byproduct matter can be used to make improved soils in barren regions whereby growing trees and similar crops can reduce the surface temperature to increase rainfall such that the rain does not evaporate before hitting the ground. Geothermal "greenhouse basements" in Iceland to grow chocolate _(mitigated by artifical light hydroponics)_ would be rather nifty, as would pineapple. Dates in Lebanon via an Ecopeace style model with Jordan would be a good desalination or water-management income approach for locals, just as long as efficiency was heavily computerised _(which is also handy because you additionally end up wih a Rosetta-Stone effect for documentation and man-pages and proprietary software)._ That whole Middle_East barren landscape is like a Mars-Rover computer potential to deploy a bunch of computing _(including Linux and BSD and OpenIndiana of course, plus proprietary softwares)_ so that the homework _(and means to get media creation going)_ is there before the people show up the moreso. Deploying British UK QWERTY keyboards is important, emphasising the pronunciation of the letter 'O'. The man pages and Unix-time-stamp are the unavoidable anglosphere Rosetta-Stone. Translation of the english language is inevitable, and english language totally nailed it on the Civilisation-Alpha-Centauri RTS gaming technology tree, except for real IRL. Union-Jack smoking-jackets and bath-robes FTW. The only thing that comes close is how some music is more meowable than others. Everybody does that. Yes, everybody.
In terms of refugees and displaced people getting the sugar MRE, especially with it being addictive, the identity-associated prepping-homework would be completed before you get to open the tamper-proof packaging, and even then they'd need to be using the dental powder scheme. These things have to be rationalised. If I were given a Jewish sugar MRE, I'd blatantly be thinking of how to turn that glucose into moonshine (strictly for research), at the sacrifice of eating a dull food to mitigate the dietry loss. Cocoa powder and lipids would end up as an Irish Coffee or a Baileys. Everybody has something artful about their imagination, so the aformentioned earning-points is a way to reduce such inventiveness unto morality interpretations. The wrapping would force you to draw a graph or something before you can get to the good stuff. If you can't walk in a straight line, you won't be able to complete that unwrapping prerequisite. Maybe you'd need to know that an audio music player Graphic equaliser (histogram bin witha gaussian kernel on it) can undergo spectral analysis via usage of Chebyshev polynomials (and who he is), and that Gaussian eliniation (karaoke mode for example) uses it. Only then if some happenstancial skinfulness (for the top-tier completionists) "accidentally occurs" can the Karaoke bar mic be passed like the conch in Lord Of the Flies.
My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
I love how its made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙌
Considering all those steps, it's no wonder some people actually drink unsweetened tea...
In roman times , lead was used as a sweetener , small amounts were grated into drinks & onto food .
This needs to be re-titled:
"How Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity and Sky-high Health Insurance are Made"
😂 literally
Let's not forget the slaves that were brought from Africa to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, etc.
High pressure in evaporator causes sugar to boil at high temperature, pressure and boiling temperature are linearly related
I work in a factory that makes beet sugar and its very similar
Thanks for sharing!
th-cam.com/video/X3lyIbawuGU/w-d-xo.html 👈
Thank you. Since the video said most sugar in America comes from sugar beets, I wanted to know if the process was similar or not. You answered that question.
Doesn’t higher pressure increase the boiling temp?
@3:00 why in his left hand, does he have something else that’s dripping in to the testing fluid?
That would make it a false test
Ive helped design one of these plants. It was an eye opener knowing how much process was involved.
Step 1 - get cane juice
Step 2 - add chemicals
Step 3 - add more chemicals
Step 4 - add more chemicals
Step 5 - remove water
Step 6 - add more chemicals
Got it 👍
Very interesting process. When my dad lived in the farm, everything was man made, he said
Sweet video
Thanks!
Wow that's a long process
My home town is the sugar beet capital of Montana and North Dakota lol
Good ol’ Fairview. There’s a giant metal sugar beet statue in the middle of the town
3:32 guy is literally working in a cloud of powdered lime with no PPE. RIP
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
The process is amazing to see, but it just reaffirmed why I shouldn't be using sugar.
Take a drink every time the narrator says, “juice.”
This is a nice sugar operation by Gus Fring. Truly efficient
Waw what a miracle that we get to buy it for so cheap
"If you got a sweet tooth watching this video, why don't you head over to our 'How Chocolate is Made' video right here." **Shows a link to "How Shit is Made" lol**
How did we figure out that we can do this?
I think you mean "refined sugar".
"Sugar" has been the fuel of every form of life on Earth since life began.
That background ‘music’ is very annoying - i have a headache now😢
Be nice to see how it was done in old days
Team has done splendid work painstankly and should be appreciated for such vital knowledge.❤
I love drinking sugarcane juice 😋
