Brown Beet Suga

What is beet sugar ?

Beet sugar is the refined extract of the sugar beet, a tasty tuber and a natural source of sucrose, a carbohydrate found in many plants and commonly known as table sugar. Sucrose makes up approximately 20% of the sugar beet’s unprocessed plant root. Naturally refined beet sugar is up to 99.9% sucrose and is an ideal substitute for chemically refined sugar in many applications.

Brown Beet Sugar

Crop Source : Sugar beets: root vegetable plant that’s grown in a five-month season in cooler climates
Production Natural sugar is stored in the root of the plant; beet is cut off, sliced, and boiled to extract a sugar-containing juice that’s concentrated into a syrup. This is purified, filtered, and crystallized and eventually processed into refined sugar.
Taste Earthy, oxidized aroma, burnt aftertaste
Usage Commercial baking, sweets and baked goods, processed foods

Technical Specifications:

White table Beet sugar comes from either sugarcane or sugar beets and is usually sold without its plant source clearly identified. This is because—chemically speaking—the two products are identical. Refined table sugar is pure, crystallized sucrose, much in the same way that pure salt is simply sodium chloride. Sucrose is found naturally in honey, dates, and sugar maple sap, but it is most concentrated in sugarcane and sugar beets. The refining process renders the original plant irrelevant as the sucrose is completely extracted from the plant that produced it.

 

White table sugar comes from either sugarcane or sugar beets.Beet sugar is manufactured by extracting beet juice, which is purified and heated to create a concentrated syrup, which then is crystallized to form granulated sugar. Organic cane sugar is a single crystallization sugar. Organic sugar crystals are golden in color and can have a mild, pleasant floral or fruity aroma and flavor. White cane sugar is made from re-melting conventionally grown single crystallization sugar which is then refined, re-crystallized, whitened and dried. White sugar is available in many crystal sizes such as baker’s special, fine, ultrafine, caster and sanding sugar.
