Cane juice, syrup, molasses, and raw sugar, which has many regional and commercial names including demerara, jaggery, muscovado, panela, piloncillo, turbinado sugar, and Sucanat, are all made from sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). Sweet sorghum syrup is made from the sugary juice extracted from the stalks of Sorghum spp., especially S. bicolor.
Jaggery is a traditional non-centrifugal cane sugar [1] consumed in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, North America, [2] Central America, Brazil and Africa. [3] It is a concentrated product of cane juice and often date or palm sap without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in colour.
There is a link between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. [31] Type 2 diabetes is unlikely to be caused directly by sugar. [32] It is likely that weight gain caused by sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is what increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. [32]
Non-centrifugal cane sugar (NCS) is the technical name given to traditional raw sugar obtained by evaporating water from sugarcane juice. NCS is internationally recognized as a discrete and unique product by the FAO [ 1 ] since 1964 and by the World Customs Organization (WCO) since 2007.
Muscovado is made from the juice of sugar cane that is evaporated until crystallisation occurs. The viscous suspension of crystals and mother liquor (molasses) is called massecuite. In the 19th century several techniques were used for sugar production. [17] [18] [19] [2] [1] [20] Muscovado is today produced by three main methods: [21] [22]
Molasses sugar is a dark brown, almost black, moist granular sugar. It can be used interchangeably with muscovado , but molasses sugar has a stronger taste as compared to muscovado. Its distinctive molasses taste is due to its high content of molasses .
Molasses (/ m ə ˈ l æ s ɪ z, m oʊ-/) [1] is a viscous byproduct, principally obtained from the refining of sugarcane or sugar beet juice into sugar. Molasses varies in the amount of sugar, the method of extraction and age of the plant. Sugarcane molasses is usually used to sweeten and flavour foods. Molasses is a major constituent of fine ...
Isomaltulose (trade name Palatinose, chemical name 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose) is a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose.It is naturally present in honey [1] and sugarcane extracts [2] and is also produced industrially from table sugar and used as a sugar alternative.
