Abstract

It is worldwide known about the increasing of the natural food preference day by day. Sugar Cuban industry and its diversification plans have an active participation on the manufacture of healthy sweeteners, like different kind of sugars and dehydrated sugar-cane juice as powder. The technological process of this last product needs concentration of the sugar-cane fresh juices and after a drying process. Suitable conditions such as environmental temperature and humidity and an adequate air speed should be guaranteed in the storage. For this reason the design of packages and store rooms should take into account the thermophysical properties of product. The aim of this paper was to carry out a study of those properties, through the experimental evaluation of both
thermal conductivity and thermal capacity at different  temperatures (30, 35, 40 and 45 ºC). The thermal diffusivity was also evaluated.
