It is produced naturally in plants and is the main constituent ofwhite sugar. It has themolecular formulaC12H22O11. For human consumption, sucrose is extracted and refined from eithersugarcaneorsugar beet.Sugar mills– typically located intropical regionsnear where sugarcane is grown – crush the cane and produce raw sugar which is shipped to other factories for refining into pure sucrose.Sugar beetfactories are located intemperate climateswhere the beet is grown, and process the beets directly into refined sugar. Thesugar-refiningprocess involves washing the raw sugar crystals before dissolving them into a sugar syrup which is filtered and then passed over carbon to remove any residual colour. The sugar syrup is then concentrated by boiling under a vacuum and crystallized as the final purification process to produce crystals of pure sucrose that are clear, odorless, and sweet. Sugar is often anaddedingredient in food production and recipes. About 185 milliontonnesof sugar were produced worldwide in 2017.
