Brown sugar, white sugar or sugar?

Beijing News weekly of the new knowledge

In passing through a novel, a man back to ancient times, the most profitable technologies in one is the brown sugar into white sugar, or rather "frosting".

However, now it is selling of brown sugar than white sugar. We believe that it has features like blood. The "experts" are also available from the chemical point of view to provide for the support of the "theory", such as brown sugar contains "essential amino acid" and "trace elements". It is interesting to note that more than white sugar pure, "trace components" are also less sweet, but is believed to still have medicinal value "unique". This is a very interesting.

From the production process, the most simple brown sugar.

The original simple processing sugar juice, dried and then get the brown sugar. You need the original sugar sugar juice for purification, bleaching and drying. Compared with brown sugar, white sugar, sweet taste of impurity little more pure. If on the purification and crystallization of syrup for decolorization, finally get the big block of Crystal-shaped products is crystal sugar.

How nutrition brown sugar? on the human body, the amino acids are a large number of necessary nutrients, an adult day need dozens of grams.

And brown sugar ¹æ– "impurity", even if it contains amino acids, is just a drop in the bucket. "Trace elements" are also involved in the "quantity". For example, some people in advocacy brown sugar "nutritional values" is often mentioned: "brown sugar per 100 grams of calcium for up to 90 mg," but in fact this is the equivalent of several dozen grams of calcium content in milk.

"Brown sugar blood" is a very wide spread.

There is information that 100 grams brown sugar containing up to 4 mg of iron, iron deficiency can cause anemia. If the contents are true, then the brown sugar can provide rail approximately thesame amount of beef and beans and bean products. However, beef and beans also have access to other nutrients, brown sugar is not comparable. In an era of material deprivation, as high-quality thermal sources of sugar for maternal may indeed useful, brown sugar extra iron nor beneficial. However, for now the maternal, nutrition is not a problem, the problem of nutrition is. 100 grams brown sugar supply of trace elements, amino acids, total calories there are 400 kcal. Such nutrient composition ratio we commonly referred to as "junk food" more garbage. The problem with brown sugar when seasoning, also available "brown sugar", "is not worth the candle.

Therefore, from food and nutrition, brown sugar is a color and flavor and different sugar sugar.

This is different for culinary art. It can give food brings different characteristics. But in nutrition, sugar has the value — provide calories and sweet taste, and defects — only provides thermal and cause rapid rise in blood sugar, brown sugar is equally to blame.

Brown sugar is more expensive, not because it has a special "health" and "medicinal" value.

In the modern industrial production and marketing, the demand for small things and even production process simple and higher costs. On the other hand, the production of white sugar to sugar beet as raw material available. After decoloration through purification, respectively, sugar beet and sugar cane produced and there was no significant difference. While traditional brown sugar production process only to sugar cane as raw material, the molasses sugar beet leads to unacceptable taste. On raw materials of critical also to some extent offset by the savings process simple. Of course, now you can also add to sugar beet and sugar cane honey get brown sugar. However, production of brown sugar process is more complicated.

Finally say that crystal sugar.

Crystal sugar production than white sugar brown sugar are complex and most pure, price is reasonable. However, it's cute but perfections pure people, it is the lack of content. In addition to calories, it is nothing. If you are healthy and feast crystal sugar, to those benefits and risk of the illusory tooth decay, the risk of obesity in this way, it is not worth the candle.
