Brown sugar starts off much the same as white sugar (i.e., it comes from the cane) but instead of being completely refined, some molasses is retained and mixed in with the white sugar crystals ...
Sugar beet syrup (Zuckerrübensirup in German) is made from the tuberous roots of the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). [8] Sugar beet molasses, a by-product of the processing to make refined sugar, also exists but is mainly used for animal feed. [9] Yacón syrup is made from the tuberous roots of yacón (Smallanthus sonchifolius). [10] Sweet Cicely root
In the United States, added sugars may include sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup, both primarily composed of about half glucose and half fructose. [7] Other types of added sugar ingredients include beet and cane sugars, malt syrup, maple syrup, pancake syrup, fructose sweetener, liquid fructose, fruit juice concentrate, honey, and molasses.
Commercial brown sugar contains from 4.5% molasses (light brown sugar) to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar) based on total volume. Based on total weight, regular commercial brown sugar contains up to 10% molasses. Buttered syrup [1] Cane sugar (cane juice, cane juice crystals), contains a high concentration of sucrose. [1]
3. Honey. Type: Natural sweetener. Potential benefits: Honey contains more nutrients than table sugar, including antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.It’s also easier to digest than table sugar ...
In modern times, activated carbon and ion-exchange resin may be used – see Sugar refinery § Purification. 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 small quantities in molasses. [5] [6] [7] The only ...
A bottle of molasses. Sugar cane molasses is an ingredient used in baking and cooking. [8] It was popular in the Americas before the 20th century, when it was plentiful and commonly used as a sweetener in foods [9] and an ingredient in brewing beer in the colonies. George Washington had a notebook that contains a molasses beer recipe. [10]
Brown sugar comes either from the late stages of cane sugar refining, when sugar forms fine crystals with significant molasses content, or from coating white refined sugar with a cane molasses syrup (blackstrap molasses). Brown sugar's color and taste become stronger with increasing molasses content, as do its moisture-retaining properties.
