a two-part sugar made of glucose and fructose Known as table sugar or white sugar, it is found naturally in sugar cane and in beets
It is extracted as a sweet, white crystalline substance which is valuable as a food product, and, being antiputrescent, is largely used in the preservation of fruit
A disaccharide with formula C{12}H{22}O{11}, consisting of two simple sugars, glucose and fructose; normal culinary sugar
By extension, any one of the class of isomeric substances as lactose, maltose, etc
Table sugar; a form of sugar that the body must break down into a more simple form before the blood can absorb it and take it to the cells
Sucrose is a common type of sugar. the most common form of sugar fructose, lactose lactose (sucre ). or table sugar Organic compound, colourless, sweet-tasting crystals that dissolve in water. Sucrose (C12H22O11) is a disaccharide; hydrolysis, by the enzyme invertase, yields "invert sugar" (so called because the hydrolysis results in an inversion of the rotation of plane polarized light), a 50: 50 mixture of fructose and glucose, its two constituent monosaccharides. Sucrose occurs naturally in sugarcane, sugar beets, sugar-maple sap, dates, and honey. It is produced commercially in large amounts (especially from sugarcane and sugar beets) and is used almost entirely as food. See also sugar
A fermentable sugar that is processed from beets and cane It is common table sugar that if used in too large an amount will lend a cidery taste to your beer It is made up of glucose and fructose (Better to use corn sugar "dextrose" which is all glucose)
A common variety of sugar found in the juices of many plants, as the sugar cane, sorghum, sugar maple, beet root, etc
A type of sugar made from one molecule each of glucose and fructose combined Found in most fruits and vegetables and in sugar beet and sugar cane
A complex synthetic compound of sucrose and fatty acids that the body is unable to digest or absorb, produced commercially as a partial substitute for fats in cooking oils, shortening, butter, and other high-calorie or high-cholesterol foods
