The difference between white sugar and sucrose

1. Different production processes

The raw materials of sucrose are mainly sugar cane and sugar beet. Crush sugar cane or beets with a machine, collect the sugar juice, filter it and treat it with lime to remove impurities, and then bleach it with sulfur dioxide; boil the treated sugar juice to remove the impurities that have sunk to the bottom, and scrape off the foam that floats to the surface. , then turn off the heat and wait until the syrup crystallizes into sucrose.

White sugar is obtained from sugar cane, beet or raw sugar through juice extraction, filtration, impurity removal, clarification, vacuum concentration and crystal boiling, honey removal, sugar washing and drying.

2. Different sub-categories

Sucrose is divided into white sugar, yellow sugar, brown sugar, soft white sugar, polycrystalline sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar, icing sugar, liquid syrup, etc. White sugar can be divided into polycrystalline rock sugar, single crystal rock sugar, cube sugar, born sugar, yellow granulated sugar, processed brown sugar, etc.

3. Differences in raw materials:

Sucrose is extracted from sugary plants, mainly sugar cane, sugar beet and maple sap. Sucrose is almost universally found in leaves, flowers, stems, seeds and fruits in the plant kingdom. It is particularly abundant in sugar cane, sugar beet and maple sap.

4. Differences in levels:

According to the sucrose content, it is divided into four levels: refined, superior, first-grade, and second-grade; soft white sugar is based on sugar cane or beet sugar. Made of raw materials, the appearance of the grains is small and uniform, the color is white, and the texture is soft and delicate. It can be divided into three levels: refined, superior, and first grade.
