Morphology and chemical composition
Morphology of Saccharum officinarum:
Sugarcane is a type of grass cultivated in the plains of India for its commercial value by the manufacturing of sugar and jaggery from its juice. It is a grass growing to a height of 7-10 feet with nodes in between. The leaves are sharp edged, 3-4 feet long and 2-3 feet wide. Flowers are seen in clusters and are pale white coloured. Roots emerge from the inter-nodular buds.
Leaf sheaths – tight, smooth, glabrous except when young, blades – linear, lanceolate.
Chemical composition of sugarcane:
Sugarcane juice contains surcose (70–80% of soluble solids in the juice), glucose and fructose. Non-sugar constituents present in the cane juice are carbohydrates other than sugars. Asparagine and glutamine are prominent amino acids in the juice. Other amino acids include alanine, gamma- amino butyric acid, aspartic and glutamic acids, glycine, leucine, lysine, serine and tyrosine. The presence of phenylalanine, histidine, valine, pro- line, threonine and arginine, pipecolic acid, methionine and tryptophan has also been reported. Aconitic acid constitutes about three-fourths of the total carboxylic acid present in the juice. Vitamins present in the juice are: thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, and vitamin D; enzymes include diastase, invertase, lactase, peroxidase, tyrosinase. Phenols in the cane juice are mainly polyphenols from tannin and antho- cyanin from the rind. Enzymes present in the seeds include large quantities of diastase and invertase. An ester, vanilloyl-1-O-beta-D-glucoside, has been isolated from the bagasse. The leaves contain alpha-amylase and glutathione-S-transferase.
It contains sugar, water, mucilage, resin, fat, albumin, guanin.

Research articles
Research articles related to Saccharum officinarum:
Hepato protective action: The study was designed to investigate the effects of Saccharum officinarum L. juice on oxidative liver injury due to INH in mice. INH treated mice showed; rise in serum ALT, AST, ALP and total bilirubin levels (Mean±SEM), while group C mice treated with Saccharum officinarum L. juice significantly decreased the levels of these biochemical parameters. The histo-pathological examination of groups A showed normal liver structure which was deranged in (INH) group B, whereas group C showed significant recovery in histological structure. Saccharum officinarum L. constituents, especially flavonoids and anthocyanins have strong antioxidant properties which provide hepato-protection against oxidative liver injury produced by INH.

Kunwar Singh
Dear Dr Hebbar,
As it is difficult to produce sugarcane juice at home on a regular basis, people mostly drink it from the road side stalls since it is readily available to them without bothering to understand the unhygienic and ill effect of the same. The road side sugarcane juice is never healthy since sugarcanes are always exposed to dust and flies. People enjoy drinking sugarcane juice to quench their thrust because it is very sweet in taste and it becomes quite delicious after making it chilled by adding some ice pieces in the glass.
Instead of drinking sugarcane juice from the unhealthy atmosphere, it would be a better choice if thick and dark brownish coloured fresh sugarcane could be brought home and cut into small pieces by removing the outer hard skin and cleaned properly with water before chewing them. Chewing few pieces on empty stomach before meal or in between the meals would be safe decision instead of drinking sugarcane juice from road side.
Best regards,
Kunwar Singh

Sir,
Wud like to know is a sugar patient can use Coconut water and sugar cane?Waiting 4 ur valuble advice..
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
If the blood sugar level is well under control, half a cup of coconut water is fine. But sugarcane juice is unacceptable.
Anand Nigam
You both are right. Kunwar ji, you are absolutely right. But since i came to mumbai I found that most of the sugercane juice vendor keep the sugercane in dry cool place avoding dust and sunlight, Before taking jiuce they peel it lightly and they give it with ice and without ice. I usually prefer to go without ice and i recomment people too to use it without ice. I intake once in a day 100-150 ml. Now a days i am searchig if there is any drawback of taking cane juice. I appreciate your comments
Kunwar Singh
Dear Mr Nigam,
Thanks for accepting my views on sugarcane juice. Although, the roadside sugarcane vendors do scratch the canes to remove the toxicity from the surface but they are never washed properly with water and since they are kept in open space, they always gather dust and canes being sweet in nature, the vendors can’t control flies to sit on the canes and refrain them from making the cane dirty. Sugarcane juice is best tonic for liver but since the flies keep attacking the canes, I would suggest that drinking sugarcane juice from the open roadside outlets should be avoided to save the liver from getting damage from severe complications.
Shilpa
I m totally agree wid u but still people drinks sugercane juice from road stalls . so how can we stop them? this is the big problem .
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
We can only stop them by educating them.

http://www.ehow.com/about_5417328_sugarcane-juice-health-benefits.html
please see this,.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Thanks for the information. Yes, plain sugar cane juice, in very low dose of half a cup a day, without adding sugar is tolerated well with diabetes patients, as it has a very low glycemic index. It does not even cause weight gain.
sunitha
Sir, Does sugarcane juice helps in weight reduction….and with what combination does it help? can you pls suggest.
and how is it useful for diabetic patients as my mother is diabetic for more than 11 yrs and she takes insulin 100 units all the 3 times
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Sugarcane juice is not usually advised for the purpose of weight reduction and for diabetes.
Exercise, proper dose of medicine, active lifestyle, good diet control and inclusion of few herbs like Triphala and Amla are few methods to keep both diabetes and weight under control.

when compared to sugar, sugar cane is less in calories. Compared to sugar, sugarcane has many health benefits as explained above. So, sugar cane is lower in calories, when compared to sugar, but still can help gain body weight.
Chinnu
Sir,
Does drinking sugar cane juice induce periods and make them regularize?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
It is not very effective in doing so. It may reduce pain during menstruation. There are better Ayurvedic products for regularizing periods. Consult your Ayurvedic doctor for a detailed analysis.

Sir my father is a diabetic patient, so how much quantity & at what interval he can drink cane juice.And also when his sugar level is not under control can he consume fruits in small quantity.

sir sugarcane juice is healthy..but should we drink it from roadside vendor or not because its very unhygine..lots of flies are there and dust..if its not healthy from roadside vendor then how to drink sugarcane juice.it cant be produced at home
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Sugarcane juice from road side vendor is of course not very hygienic. But nowadays, even in small cities, you get juice centers selling sugarcane juice. They are placed relatively distantly from the road side. We can see the quality of the sugarcane that they use, very easily and they are better as per my opinion. 🙂
