Modern brown sugar is powdered or crystalline, the ancient brown sugar is lumpy. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica" [Fruit Department of the thirty-third volume of the fruit of the five sand sugar] in the records of the basic physical properties of brown sugar for the "condensation of the stone, broken as sand", obviously from the basic traits, the current brown sugar and ancestors handed down the brown sugar is indeed not the same kind of product. And the ancient recipe for brown sugar can be seen inside the very obvious sand lines, and the description of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" is completely consistent with the sugar in the condensation of such a "sand", but also "sand sugar" the origin of the name. The Materia Medica Compendium" also recorded "clear for the sugar, condensed with sand for the sugar", on the said brown sugar has medicinal properties, refers to "sand sugar", and cane sugar is only a flavor.

2, nutrients are not the same

Brown sugar retains more sugar cane nutrients, but also more easily digested and absorbed by the human body, so it can quickly replenish energy, increase vitality, so it is also known as the "Oriental chocolate". Most of the nutrients in cane sugar are taken away when it is purified. Sugarcane is a wonderful "biological manufacturing plant", sugar cane in the ripe, its body in addition to sucrose, fructose, reducing sugar, glucose, molasses, and vitamins and minerals, trace elements, etc., but also contains indispensable to human growth and development of malic acid, folic acid, riboflavin, carotene, niacin, and trace elements such as manganese, zinc, chromium and so on. Various elements.

3, the manufacturing principle is not the same

The principle of ancient brown sugar production and modern sugar production methods have essential differences, the purpose of modern sugar production methods is to purify sucrose (C12H22O11) from the sugar cane, other substances are processed through the chemical methods, so the modern production of sugar produced by the product of sucrose purity in the 99.9% or more, is the highest purity of carbohydrates in the natural world. It is the highest purity carbohydrate in nature. The purpose of sugar production is to crystallize all the sugar in the sugar cane, which is a kind of multivariate sugar.
