The origin of nougat:

Nougat was a trophy brought back from the Crusades. Over the centuries, nougat has drifted from the East to the West and then red from the West back to the East. Nougat held a place in the French confectionary industry hundreds of years ago. King Louis XV of France visited the Spanish royal family and brought 42 kilograms of nougat instead of gold or jewels, which proved the value of nougat at that time.

Nougat, also known as Nougat in France, was brought back from the Orient by the French during the Crusades in the 11th and 12th centuries. The original recipe was walnuts and honey, but the French decided to add pistachios, almonds and cherries.

The tasty nougat soon created a craze in France, and to date, the city in Southern France, which produces 2,000 metric tons of nougat each year, is the largest producer.

Chemical Classification of Sugar:

Sugar can also be classified according to the number of carbon atoms into propylose (triose), butylose (terose), pentose (pentose), hexose (hexose). The simplest sugar is propionose (glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone) Since the vast majority of sugar compounds can be represented by the general formula Cn(H2O)n, in the past it has been assumed that sugars are compounds of carbon and water called carbohydrates.

It was found that some sugars such as rhamnose (C6H12O5), deoxyribose (C5H10O4) do not conform to the general formula of carbohydrates; in addition, some organic compounds in the molecule of the number of hydroxyl atoms in the ratio of exactly 2:1, such as formaldehyde (CH2O), acetic acid (C2H4O2), in line with the definition of carbohydrates, but is not a sugar.
