An overview of Audubon's capabilities to facilitate research.

Dr. Vadim Kochergin of Audubon Sugar Institute, LSU AGCenter conducted research from data collected during the 2008 sugarcane harvest grinding season. This project was funded in 2008 by the Dedicated Research Funding Committee of the American Sugar Cane League and published in February 2009, Volume 87, Number 5, pages 19-20 of The Sugar Bulletin.

Provides technical information for the Louisiana sugar industry on the recommended method for core sampling.

Information about the research, personnel and facilities of Dr. Giovanna M. Aita's Renewable Fuels and Byproducts Laboratory at the LSU AgCenter's Audubon Sugar Institute.

The Audubon Sugar Institute had its beginnings at the Sugar Experiment Station in Audubon Park in New Orleans and was founded by the Louisiana Planters Association in 1887. Dr. C.W. Stubbs was the first director of the station and a professor of agriculture. In 1890, a mill was started at the station. In 1891, the Audubon Sugar School was established, and the first sugar engineering course was offered.

This survey of molasses and juice quality is conducted by the analytical lab at Audubon Sugar Institute (ASI) as a service to all the Louisiana sugar mills.

(Video, 1:58) The Audubon Sugar Institute (ASI) has been responsible for helping Louisiana’s sugar industry remain profitable for more than 100 years. Faculty conducts research in labs and at sugar factories. Scientists also are looking at ways of converting fibrous residue from sugarcane to ethanol and other specialty chemicals. The department helps train students in biological and agricultural engineering, chemical engineering and food science.

The sugar quality is an area of much interest to the Louisiana sugarcane industry, and the effects of washing the sugar in the centrifugals, different boiling schemes for production of VLC sugar and sugar quality changes during storage are being investigated at Audubon Sugar Institute (ASI) with the support of the Louisiana sugar mills.

Map & Directions to the Audubon Sugar Institute.

Of all the U.S. sugar-producing areas,Louisiana is the oldest and most historic. Sugarcane arrived in Louisiana in1751 with the Jesuit priests who planted it near where their church now stands on Baronne Street in New Orleans. The Louisiana sugarcane industry is in its third century of uninterrupted sugar production.
