Bagasse - leftover pulp from the sugar cane stem
Brix - sugar concentration by refractometry
Sulfitation - cane juice is dropped through sulfur dioxide vapors, to bleach the juice
Alkalization - lime moves with juice for six hours to help clarify it
Massecuite - the mixture of molasses and sugar crystals after boiling, before centrifugation
