Abstract Cane-fibre analysis plays an important role in the cane-payment system in Australia. The relationship between brix in first-expressed juice and brix in cane and the relationship between pol in first-expressed juice and pol in cane are affected by the cane-fibre content. As a result, Australian raw-sugar factories conduct cane-fibre analysis each day through the crushing season. Since the early 1990s, cane-fibre analysis has been mainly undertaken using the SRI can fibre machine. Although many factories now use the NIR Cane Analysis System for online cane-fibre measurement, the SRI can fibre machine is still used daily for calibration purposes. A… Login to continue
