Description

Sugar is a sweet crystalline food substance obtained mainly from sugarcane or sugar beet. It is widely used as a sweetening agent in food, beverages, bakery products, confectionery, dairy items, and pharmaceutical preparations. Sugar is available in different forms such as refined sugar, raw sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and liquid sugar.

Refined sugar is the most commonly used type and appears as white granulated crystals with high purity and sweetness. Raw sugar contains natural molasses and has a light brown color. Brown sugar is partially refined sugar with molasses content, giving it a moist texture and caramel-like flavor.
