Funded Activity Summary

Selective Detection and Removal of Contaminants That Have an Adverse Impact on Australian Raw Sugar Quality. Sugar is Australia's 2nd largest agricultural crop with 80-85% exported earning $2 billion in export revenue. Whilst Australia is arguably the most reliable supplier of premium raw sugar the implementation of improved processing technologies by rivals has (and without appropriate research strategies will continue to) eroded some of the long-held Australian advantages. Our innovative approaches will improve raw sugar quality, measurement methods, and allow new product development (value adding), enabling Australia to maintain its? world leading position. Importantly, our technologies enable improvements of specific quality issues (and potentially as yet unidentified issues), further differentiating the Australian product in the international marketplace.
