E-beam and γ-radiation were evaluated on color reduction of sugarcane juice.

Any severe degradation of sucrose content was perceived by E-beam or γ-radiation.

Little degradation of sucrose was associated to the increase on radiation doses.

Average color reduction was found to be 49% with E-beam and 30% with γ-radiation.

Synapt HDMS was able to confirm the presence of sucrose, glucose and fructose.
