White sugar, also known as granulated sugar, is simply refined sucrose.
Here’s a breakdown of how white sugar is made:
- Sugarcane or sugar beets: These are the primary sources of sucrose.
- Extraction: The sucrose is extracted from the source material through various processes.
- Refining: The extracted sucrose is then refined to remove impurities and color, resulting in the white sugar we know.
Therefore, the only ingredient in white sugar is sucrose.
