Best practices for filtering pure maple syrup.
Videos from the Future Generations University maple program.
Accurately measuring the density of finished maple syrup is an important task for commercial syrup producers.
Knowing how to detect and avoid metabolic off-flavors is critical to producing high-quality syrup.
Template for creating a food safety plan for your sugaring operation.
The Cornell Maple Program has developed a new, user-friendly tool to calculate how much of each syrup you would need to blend. This calculator will only help sugarmakers using digital light meters that give the percentage of light transmittance (%Tc) through your syrup.
To ensure that your maple syrup is the best it can be, filtering out contaminants before packing is critical. Using paper and cloth filters to do so is an acceptable and inexpensive option.
Many producers use a filter press, which uses a pressure pump to push the syrup through a series of metal plates and frames, separated by single-use pieces of filter paper which capture the particles and result in crystal-clear syrup. For smaller producers, however, using paper and cloth filters and letting gravity pull the syrup through is an acceptable and far less expensive option.
