OBREGON-LUNA, Joaquín de J.; GOMEZ-AVILES, Bismayda H.  y  HERNANDEZ-LEON, Rolando A.. Assessment of the operation‘s industrial extraction of energy cane juices. cen. az. [online]. 2016, vol.43, n.2, pp.76-84. ISSN 0253-5777.

The industrial milling processes of the varieties of energy cane C-90 176 and C-90 178 in the Base Enterprise Unit "Melanio Hernández" Sugar Mill were analyzed based on the total soluble solids and fermentable sugars in g. L^-1 in the juices. This analysis was made in order to assess the operation of the milling plant, given the significant differences in the milling ratio and application of imbibition water, as compared to the normal sugar cane. Once the graphics of the statistical control state of the process of both variables were obtained, it was determined that they were unstable since part of the canes were processed late with more than 30 hours from harvesting to milling, and it presented a contingency with the mill trays washing. The mid routes showed a reduction of the instability, with a fall below the central line. These proved the inexistence of significant deficiencies in the tandem operation, with an attenuation of the internal variability factor.
