Raising Cane-but the Beet Goes On: A Short History of Competing Sugar Technologies

Organised by:

SCI's London Group

University College London, London, UK

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

Sugar is probably unique among food commodities in that it can be commercially obtained from two very different plants: a semi-tropical grass (sugar cane) and a temperate root (sugar beet). This talk will try and explain how the situation arose, the differences in technology used, and what the future might hold.

Speaker

Nick Bourne, Tate & Lyle Sugars
