How to identify the quality of sugar?

First, look, the color of white sugar and soft white sugar should be white and bright. If it turns yellow, loses its luster, or contains yellow particles, it is a sign of reduced quality. In addition, the white sugar is dry and loose, with uniform particles and no crumbs or agglomerations. The soft white sugar crystals are smaller, neat and uniform without agglomeration.

Second, touch, all white sugar should be dry, the grains should be loose, and not sticky.

Third, smell, good quality white sugar has the normal smell of white sugar; inferior white sugar has a slight molasses smell; inferior white sugar has a sour smell, alcoholic smell or other foreign smells.

4. Taste: when white sugar dissolves in water, no sediment, floc, or layer of floating matter appears, and the taste is clear and sweet, with no peculiar smell; soft white sugar has a high sugar concentration on the taste buds of the tongue, which enhances the sense of taste. It feels sweeter than white sugar.
