The difference between old brown sugar and brown sugar is that they have different colors, different refining methods, and different nutritional components.
1. Different colors
Generally speaking, the color of old brown sugar will be darker. This is because the two brown sugars are cooked for different times, resulting in different colors of the two brown sugars. Old brown sugar will take a longer time to boil the syrup, so when the syrup is concentrated, the color will appear almost black.
2. Different refining methods
In fact, whether it is brown sugar, brown sugar or other sugars, the refining method is the same at the beginning, but the reason why it becomes different colors and The different forms of sugars are caused by the different degrees of refining and decolorization. In other words, the higher the degree of refining of sugar during the production process, the whiter the color and the higher the purity. Generally speaking, however, the sweetness of sugar does not increase with purity.
3. Different nutritional components
Brown sugar generally retains more sugarcane nutrients, so it is easier to be digested and absorbed by the human body, and can effectively replenish physical strength. At the same time, brown sugar also contains relatively large amounts of malic acid, riboflavin and carotene, which are all components needed by the human body. In addition to providing heat energy, brown sugar is also rich in various trace elements such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, so its nutritional value is very high.
1. Introduction to brown sugar:
Brown sugar is raw sugar made from sugar cane, extracted, clarified, boiled, and refined using the lime method. The entire processing process No chemical reagents or food additives are added except lime, and the original flavor and nutrients of sugar cane are completely retained. Brown sugar is different from refined sugars such as white sugar and brown sugar. It is a non-melted sugar, that is, sugar that has not been made from honey.
Brown sugar contains about 95% sucrose, which retains more nutrients of sugar cane and is easier to be digested and absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it can quickly replenish physical strength and increase vitality, so it is also called the "Chocolate of the East" "It not only contains carbohydrates that can provide heat energy, but also contains various elements such as malic acid, riboflavin, carotene, niacin and trace elements manganese, zinc, chromium and other elements that are indispensable for human growth and development.
2. Functions and effects of brown sugar:
1. The glucose, fructose and other monosaccharide and polysaccharide energy substances contained in brown sugar can accelerate the metabolism of skin cells. , providing energy to cells.
2. The folic acid and trace substances contained in brown sugar can accelerate blood circulation, increase blood volume, stimulate the body's hematopoietic function, expand blood volume, and improve the supply of nutrients, oxygen, and moisture to local skin.
3. Some of the vitamins and electrolytes contained in brown sugar can balance the water-liquid metabolism of the intracellular environment by adjusting the concentration of certain substances between tissues, eliminate cellular metabolic products, and maintain intracellular and external metabolism. Environmental cleanliness.
4. The multiple vitamins and antioxidants contained in brown sugar can resist free radicals, rebuild and protect the basic structure of cells, and maintain the normal function and metabolism of cells.
