Liquid Sucrose is a concentrated sugar solution, primarily derived from either sugarcane or sugar beet. It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener, preservative, and to improve the texture of products.

Raw Materials Used in the Production

• Sugarcane or Sugar Beet. These are the primary sources of sucrose.
• Water. Used to extract sucrose from the plants and to create a solution.
• Enzymes or Acids. Used to break down more complex sugar chains during extraction.

Industrial Production of Liquid Sucrose

• Preparation. The mixture is prepared by extracting sucrose from sugarcane or sugar beet using water.
• Extraction. Sucrose is extracted in the form of juice.
• Purification. The juice is filtered and purified to remove impurities.
• Concentration. The purified juice is concentrated by evaporating excess water.
• Refining. The concentrate is further refined to achieve a clear solution.

Appearance and Color. 

Liquid sucrose generally appears as a clear, viscous liquid, but can take on amber or red coloration.

In the picture, liquid sucrose is measured to know the amount of sucrose in the mixture sample.

Commercial applications:

Food Industry. Liquid sucrose is widely used as a sweetener in beverages, baked goods, jams, and sauces. It provides consistent sweetness and blends easily with other ingredients.

Preservation and Stabilization. Helps retain moisture in food products, extending their freshness and also acts as a stabilizer in some formulations.

Pharmaceutical Industry. Used as an excipient in medicinal syrups and other oral preparations, both for its sweetening power and its ability to make medicines more palatable.

Safety 

Generally safe for consumption, but excessive intake of sugars can be associated with various health issues, such as obesity and diabetes.
