In India, of the 300 Mt of sugarcane produced, 53% is processed
into white sugar, 36% into jaggery and khandsari, 3% for chewing
as cane juice, and 8% as seed cane [4]. Jaggery and khandsari have
withstood competition protecting farmers’ interests besides meeting
ethnic demands. Processes and equipments have been developed
for quality solid, liquid and powder jaggery. Liquid jaggery has been
commercialized. The organic clarificants developed help to retain
jaggery as organic food.
