枫糖制糖过程有三种变化， 其中返回到使用基本的开放式盘系统。这 在历史上，这个系统被反复使用。然而，在这方面， 该系统还没有被证明是节能和/或卫生的 并且非常耗时。 %%% 拟议研究的目标是使 目前Maple Syrup工艺。拟议系统的目标是 变得节能。这个系统的影响将超过 制糖业;生产枫树糖浆的成本将 大幅减少。通过初步计算， 每加仑枫树糖浆的价格将比现在低55% 日成本。

There are three variations of the maple sugaring process, all of which return to the use of the basic open pan system. This system has been returned to repeatedly throughout history. However, this system has not proved to be energy efficient and/or sanitary and it is extremely time consuming. %%% The objective of the proposed research is to modernize the present Maple Syrup process. The goal of the proposed system is to become energy efficient. The impact of this system will overtake the sugaring industry; the cost of producing Maple Syrup would drastically be reduced. Through preliminary calculations the cost per gallon of Maple Syrup would be 55 percent less than the present day costs.
