    Sugarcane is of great economic importance worldwide, and Brazil stands out as the largest global producer and exporter of sugar, a position reinforced by its strong sugar and ethanol industry. The country produces approximately 654.5 million tons of sugarcane, cultivated on approximately 9.7 million hectares, destined for the production of sugar, ethanol, and renewable electricity from bagasse. Among its derivatives, VHP (Very High Polarization) sugar stands out, a raw sugar with a sucrose content exceeding 99.2° of polarization, widely used as a raw material for refined sugars. The clarification process of sugarcane juice is one of the main steps for removing soluble, colloidal, and insoluble impurities. This work aims to describe the juice treatment process, demonstrating the importance of this step in obtaining VHP sugar within the required parameters.
