| description | Sugarcane storage has been studied because of the impact of industrial processes. However, the impact of the use of chopped green cane has not been fully characterized. In particular, there was a lack of information on the influence of the harvest season period on cut stalk storage in the “stock on wheels” model. The present work evaluated the effects of chopped sugarcane storage during the beginning, middle, and final harvest seasons on the quality of intermediate sugar and ethanol processing and products during two seasons. The experimental design was a randomized block with split plots (4 × 3) and four replicates. The primary treatments were sugarcane stored for 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 h and 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h for the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons. The second treatment included the following seasonal periods: the beginning, middle, and end of sugarcane harvest. The intermediate sugar process was evaluated using extracted juice, a clarification process, clarified juice, and syrup. On the other hand, the quality of the wort, fermentation process, and wine were evaluated for ethanol production. The results revealed that the weight loss of the chopped sugarcane gradually increased. Weight loss is more intense depending on the period of the season when the weather conditions are drying. In terms of the quality of the process and products, a reduction in starch levels was detected with storage of the extracted juice and syrup, probably due to the metabolism of the chopped sugarcane. The maximum storage time of 24 h for sugar- and ethanol-containing products seems possible without reducing the quality of the process or products. However, the continuous weight loss with increasing storage time should reduce the quantity of products obtained. |
