  2. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    Molasses is a by-product of the process and the fiber from the stems, known as bagasse, [88] is burned to provide energy for the sugar extraction process. The crystals of raw sugar have a sticky brown coating and either can be used as they are, can be bleached by sulfur dioxide, or can be treated in a carbonatation process to produce a whiter ...

  3. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    The crystals are captured, stored, and sputter-coated with platinum at cryo-temperatures for imaging. The crystallization process appears to violate the second principle of thermodynamics. Whereas most processes that yield more orderly results are achieved by applying heat, crystals usually form at lower temperatures – especially by ...

  4. Rock candy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_candy

    This candy is formed by allowing a supersaturated solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a surface suitable for crystal nucleation, such as a string, stick, or plain granulated sugar. Heating the water before adding the sugar allows more sugar to dissolve thus producing larger crystals. Crystals form after six to seven days.

  5. Sucrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose

    Brown sugar crystals. 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 ...

  6. Crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal

    Crystallized sugar. Crystals on the right were grown from a sugar cube, while the left from a single seed crystal taken from the right. Red dye was added to the solution when growing the larger crystal, but, insoluble with the solid sugar, all but small traces were forced to precipitate out as it grew.

  7. Sugar refinery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_refinery

    A sugar refinery is a refinery which processes raw sugar from cane or sugar extracted from beets into white refined sugar. Cane sugar mills traditionally produce raw sugar, which is sugar that still contains molasses , giving it more colour (and impurities) than the white sugar which is normally consumed in households and used as an ingredient ...

  9. Triboluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

    In the late 1790s, sugar production began to produce more refined sugar crystals. These crystals were formed into a large solid cone for transport and sale. This solid sugar cone had to be broken into usable chunks using a sugar nips device. People began to notice that tiny bursts of light were visible as sugar was "nipped" in low light, an ...
