5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most complete guides to sugar processing available, April 27, 2009
This review is from: Handbook of Sugar Refining: A Manual for the Design and Operation of Sugar Refining Facilities (Hardcover)
As a rum consultant, I'm always looking for ways to increase my knowledge about all aspects of the magical journey that starts with sugarcane and ends with rum. This book has provided me with answers to many of my questions, for which I am grateful. This handbook is comprised of almost 750 pages of detailed technical descriptions, charts and diagrams. I strongly recommend it to anyone seeking a better understanding of the sugar industry or, in my case, of the molasses-to-rum connection that is driven by it.
