Direct Consumption Sugar From Cane Developed
DUS Department of Agriculture scientists produced an experimental grade of sugar for direct consumption from sugar cane. Using resin exchangers to purify the sugar, the new process yields more sugar per ton of cane under Louisiana conditions and could cut costs for candy makers by supplying high quality sugar at lower expense. Similar gains are expected for cane from Florida Puerto Rico and Hawaii. The candy industry already proves cost savings with cheaper sugars like turbinado in caramels and coatings.

Cage zone refining yields super pure titanium metals
Scientists at Westinghouse Laboratories purify titanium and other hard to obtain metals by cage zone refining. A bar of impure metal acts as its own crucible while molten it sweeps iron to one end which is discarded, progressively increasing purity. Heating is achieved by electomagnetic induction as the bar passes through a high frequency coil.
