Rosilene, It varies with handling and humidity; I use for design purposes 100 kg/m3. I think Hugot, in Sugar engineers Handbook, recomends the same value. The 700 kg/m3 value is for pressed bagasse. See John Farmer, "The Theory, Design and Operation of Multiple Barreled Screw Presses for Bagasse", in the ISSCT 16th meeting, page 8.
