Sucrose

Description

Sucrose, also known as white sugar or table sugar, occurs in the form of white homogeneous granulated crystals, without clumps or lumps, with a characteristic sweet smell and taste of sugar. It is obtained from sugar beets or sugar cane.

Sucrose dissolves well in water and, because of its sweet taste, is most often used as a functional ingredient – a sweetener. It is also a readily available source of energy and is quite thermally stable. When heated to about 186°C, it decomposes and caramel is formed.

White sugar offered by Foodcom SA does not come from genetically modified crops.

White sugar is intended for direct consumption as an additive to food products or as a raw material for further processing. The ability of food sucrose to form crystals is often used in the confectionery industry to decorate baked goods. As a result of the sugar recrystallization process, it also affects the structure of baked goods. The ability of sucrose to dissolve in water makes it an ideal ingredient in the production of beverages, but also jams, preserves and other fruit products, helping to maintain the right consistency and giving them a sweet taste.
