（d） The additive is applied to the sugar juice in the following quantities, based on the weight of the raw cane:
| Component | Parts per million |
| n- Dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 0.25–1.0 |
| n- Dodecyl dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride | 3.4–13.5 |
| n- Hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 1.5–6.0 |
| n- Octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 0.25–1.0 |
| n- Tetradecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride | 3.0–12.0 |
