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.

How is white sugar made and what is the process involved in its production?

White sugar is made from sugar cane or sugar beets through a process that involves crushing the plants to extract their juice, clarifying the juice to remove impurities, evaporating the liquid to form a syrup, and then crystallizing the syrup to produce sugar crystals. The crystals are then washed and dried to create the final white sugar product.
