Abstract
A comparative analysis of the clarification efficiency of lime and moringaoleifera on cane sugar juice was investigated. Moringa pods were collected and their seeds ground into powder. The seed oil was extracted using a crude method. Calcium oxide and moringaoleifera seed cake were used to effect colloid coagulation in sugarcane juice. The dosages by weight were varied. The settling time was also varied. Clarification was measured as a function of absorbance. The absorbance was measured at different wavelengths. A wavelength of 600nm was used in the results and discussion. The absorbance of the clarified sugarcane juice over a period of five hours was obtained. A cost analysis was also investigated. The results suggest that Moringaoleifera is a more efficient coagulating aid at 1g Moringa/100ml of sugarcane juice with an absorbance of 1.803 after one hour although calcium oxide (lime) is cheaper.
