Admin Sugar, its types, sources, packaging and packaging
Sugar is a substance that belongs to a class of foods, known as carbohydrate, the most famous of which is food sugar, a product of photosynthesis that is the process of making food in plants, many of which are used in food. It is a carbohydrate, composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and sucrose is extracted from sugar beet, sugarcane, and is widely used as a local substance.
Polysaccharides are found in the tissues of most plants, but are present in sufficient concentration to be efficiently extracted only in sugarcane, sugar cane and sugar cane grown in hotlands in South Asia and Southeast Asia since ancient times. There was a significant expansion in production in the 18th century with the establishment of sugar cane plantations in the West Indies and the Americas. This was the first time sugar had become available to the public, which had previously relied on honey for sweetening foods.
Sugar production changed the course of human history in many ways, affecting the formation of colonies, the continuation of slavery, the transition to forced labor, the emigration of peoples and wars between countries to control the sugar trade in the 19th century and the impact on the ethnic composition and political structure of the New World.
The world produced about 168 million tons of sugar in 2011. The average person consumes about 24 kg of sugar per year (33.1 kg in industrialized countries), equivalent to more than 260 calories per person per day.
Sources of sugar
sugar cane
The sugar cane is grown in the tropics and the sugar is extracted from it. It is cleaned and removed from it. It is then cut into small pieces and grinded, then boiled until the syrup becomes thick. Add small seeds of the reed seeds to form the sugar crystals. Sugar crystals in the syrup, repeating the raw sugar in the sugar refinery and covering it with a thin layer of molasses and remaining plants from the process of extracting sugar, removing the thin layer covering the sugar with the filter, and using very fast centrifuges sugar is mixed in hot syrup, , Then dissolve the plum And filtered by a mechanical strainer, to produce pure liquid from sugar and water. This liquid is then evaporated to extract, dry and store the sugar crystals.
Beetroot
Beetroot or beets contain sucrose with a high rate of up to 17% in mature fruit, so beet content is more sugar than cane sugar.
Maple
The refined maple syrup, consisting mainly of sucrose and glucose, is used as a sweetener, where maple sugar has been made in North America for a long time
Dates palm
Palm trees grow in desert oases in North Africa, and also in southwest Asia. This average palm is 15 to 25 meters in length and sugar is extracted from it locally on a small scale.
White corn
White maize is found in tropical and subtropical regions of eastern Africa, grown in southern Europe, Central America and South Asia, and sugar is extracted from its seeds locally on a small scale.
Types of sugar
Sugar is extracted from its main sources mentioned above and then some minor modifications are made to it and converted to different types
White sugar: It is the most common sugar among people; it is characterized by small crystals that do not accumulate.
Brown sugar: obtained by mixing white sugar with molasses, used in sauces and baked goods.
Liquid sugar: It is a white sugar dissolved in water, and is used to sweeten beverages.
