Granulated Sugar

About Granulated Sugar

White sugar, also called table sugar, granulated sugar or regular sugar, is the sugar commonly used in North America and Europe, made either of beet sugar or cane sugar, which has undergone a refining process. White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may still be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners. For this reason white sugar from sugar cane may not be vegan. Beet sugar has never been processed with bone char and is vegan

The refining completely removes the molasses and makes the white sugar actually sucrose (with a purity higher than 99.7%), whose molecular formula is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. The origin of the sugar thus produced is therefore chemically indistinguishable (sugar cane or sugar beet): it is possible, however, to identify its origin through a carbon-13 analysis

From a chemical and nutritional point of view, white sugar does not contain – in comparison to brown sugar – some minerals (such as calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium) present in molasses, even if the quantities contained in brown sugar are not significant. The only detectable differences are, therefore, the white colour and the less intense flavour
