What is sugarcane alcohol?

Sugarcane alcohol is ethanol produced by fermenting and distilling the juice of the sugarcane plant. This process results in a clear, neutral liquid free from taste, odour, and colour. Sugarcane-based ethanol is often chosen over other raw materials for its sustainability credentials and versatile applications. Our sugarcane alcohol is sourced from trusted producers in key regions, enabling us to guarantee both product quality and supply stability for our clients worldwide.

Various applications of sugarcane alcohol

Sugarcane ethanol is widely used as a base for many spirits, with rum being the most well-known. Another popular sugarcane alcohol-based drink is cachaça, though it is also suitable for a variety of other liquors. Beyond the bulk spirit market, sugarcane alcohol serves as a preservative or flavouring agent in the food industry.

Additionally, its neutral base and high purity make it highly valuable for non-food applications, including pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Organic sugarcane alcohol for perfume is particularly popular due to its purity and sustainable origins, while isopropyl alcohol made from sugarcane offers an eco-friendly alternative for various industrial and personal care products.

How to make alcohol from sugarcane?

After harvesting, the sugarcane is cut and milled with water to produce raw sugar cane juice. The juice is then heated to remove unwanted impurities, after which it is ready to ferment. When the fermentation is complete, the alcohol can be distilled. At Nedstar, our sugarcane undergoes at least four rounds of fermentation and distillation to achieve the exceptionally high purity and neutrality required for applications across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Brazil is the world’s largest sugarcane producer and exports about 40% of the world’s sugar to more than 100 countries. By sourcing from such a dominant production hub, Nedstar ensures consistent product quality, supply reliability, and industry-grade ethanol standards for clients worldwide.
