(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Sucrose is the chemical name of table sugar.
Sucrose is generally extracted from sugar cane or sugar beet and then purified and crystallized. Other (minor) commercial sources are sorghum and sugar maples.
Composition
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of one molecule of glucose connected via an α(1-2) glycosidic bond to one molecule of fructose.
Production
Usage
Pure sucrose is the most common sweetener in the modern, industrialized world. People, and in fact most other mammals except members of the cat familiy, will gladly accept a food sweetened with sucrose, even if they aren't hungry. Processed food and junk food often have sucrose added.
