Here's my overview: There's raw sugar, and then there's white/plantation sugar, and then there is double refined sugar. The basic raw material is either beet or sugar cane. Raw Sugar is what is left after processing the sugar cane to remove the molasses. This involves crushing the cane (milling extraction) through millers and fibrizers, and adding lime to remove color and impurities (I think), heated, clarified and evaporated to get the raw sugar. The raw sugar is similar to light brown sugar (in color) but it's texture is grainier. Raw sugar is converted to white sugar by bleaching the sugar of color impurities by exposure to sulfur di oxide (I think this is called Sulfitation). The white sugar is converted to refined/double refined sugar by repeating the process all over again, by heating/melting the white sugar and clarifying and evaporating without exposure to sulfur.
