These are sugars that have been carefully treated to remove anything but the specific molecule that is desired.
For example, you take sugar cane, a kind of grass, shred or crush it to release the sugar cane juice, the sap of the plant with impurities. Calcium hydroxide and CO2 are added to the juice, which extract impurities. Then the juice is filtered.
The purified juice is then heated until it forms crystals.
These crystals are full of dark, flavorful molasses, and forms of it can be recognized as "raw sugar" or "brown sugar".
That sugar is then refined, by heating it until it melts, and then "washed" to remove the molasses.
It is then treated one last time, with phosphoric acid or another chemical, so that you end up with nothing but pure Sucrose.
Sucrose is a molecule, C12H22O11, that is one glucose and one fructose (fruit sugar) molecule linked together.
This is why sucrose and "high fructose corn syrup" are identical in your digestive tract, where the sucrose is broken back into glucose and fructose, exactly like the corn syrup, before absorbed.
There are similar processes for extracting glucose (the sugar your own body uses), fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar), maltose (malt sugar), and others.
it is very good and has a puicks in the middle
No. Raw sugar contains small amounts of nutrients and other factors that are "refined" or taken out of white sugar.
Unrefined sugar is when the sugar has not been treated, for example when 'white' sugar has not been bleached to be perfectly white.
Refined sugar is usually considered table sugar, or sucrose. It is a disacchride that is two simple, monosaccharide, sugar molecules together.
Refined carbohydrates and sugars.
Yes, the standard type of sugars that you add to food or drinks is a refined carbohydrate.
Unrefined sugars are raw sugars that has slightly been refined during their processing. Examples of unrefined sugars included raw honey and raw maple syrup.
Full of glucose and refined sugars. Will give you the Diabeetus!
No. Foods with high refined sugar amounts have a high glycemic index.
No alcohol is a refined fuel, a hydrocarbon produced from sugars(carbohydrates).
The starchy carbohydrates. Table sugar is refined from starchy plants.
True
You should limit your intake of or avoid fried and fatty foods and foods containing refined sugars.
The types of carbohydrate that should be limited are simple sugars (i.e. refined sugars like sugar and corn syrup, which are often found in high levels in sweets and baked goods).
Yes, though it's a lot of sugars. Fruit sugar is better for you than refined sugar, but there are limits.
There shouldn't be any refined sugar in fruit salad, which should only have the natural sugars of the fruits in the salad.
