Best Answer

By definition, a mineral is a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence. Cane sugar is an organic substance, derived from sugarcane (a plant). It is sucrose: a disaccharide, formed organically from two monosaccharides - glucose and fructose. Therefore, cane sugar, as well as any other type of sugar, does not meet the definition of a mineral.
