“Powerful Oxidizing Biocide for Cleaner Juice, Safer Processing & Higher Recovery.”
Peracetic Acid (PAA) is a highly effective oxidizing biocide and disinfectant widely used in the sugar
industry for juice sterilization, microbial control, and equipment sanitation. It is a fast-acting,
broad-spectrum antimicrobial that ensures cleaner juice, reduced sucrose losses, and improved sugar
quality while being eco-friendly.
Role in Sugar Processing
During sugar manufacturing, microbial contamination leads to sucrose inversion, slime formation, foul
odor, and lower recovery. Peracetic Acid addresses these challenges by:
Rapidly destroying bacteria, fungi, yeast, and spores in juice and process water
Preventing slime and biofilm formation in clarifiers, pipelines, and evaporators
Reducing sucrose inversion, ensuring higher sugar recovery
Maintaining plant hygiene through effective disinfection of tanks and equipment
Key Features
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial action
Fast-acting with strong oxidizing capability
Biodegradable – breaks down into water, oxygen, and acetic acid
Effective over wide pH and temperature ranges
Non-foaming and safe for use in food-related industries
Benefits for Sugar Mills
Cleaner juice with reduced turbidity and microbial load
Higher sugar recovery due to minimized sucrose losses
Improved process efficiency and plant hygiene
Environmentally safe and residue-free operation
Cost-effective alternative to conventional biocides
Applications Of Sugar Industries
Juice sterilization during extraction and clarification
Microbial control in evaporators, pipelines, and storage tanks
Disinfection of spray ponds and cooling towers
General sanitation of sugar plant equipment and surfaces
Conclusion:
Peracetic Acid is a reliable, eco-friendly, and powerful biocide for sugar industries, ensuring
effective microbial control, improved sugar yield, and hygienic plant operations. Its fast action,
broad-spectrum efficiency, and safe breakdown make it a preferred choice for modern sugar mills.
