Results showed that low temperature storage (10°C) of canes was able to maintain the quality of juice for 10 days, while low temperature storage (5°C) of juice could last for only 4 days. Spoilage of cane stored at 30°C occurred faster than that stored at 10°C. Fresh sugarcane juice became spoilt within a day when stored at 30°C. Microbial count (bacteria, yeast, fungi) especially lactic acid bacteria count increased, during storage of cane juice.
