Explanation:

The purity percentage along with sucrose percent aids in determining maturity time. A cane crop is considered fit for harvesting if it has attained a minimum of 16% sucrose and 85% purity. Reducing Sugars: The reducing sugars refer to the percentage of other sugars (fructose and glucose) in the juice.
