Description
Hard, white, crystals with a sweet taste. Sucrose occurs naturally in sugar cane, sugar beets, Sugar maple, and sorghum. It is extracted with water and purified with Lime or Carbon. Sucrose is a disaccharide that hydrolyzes to Glucose and Fructose. It is primarily used as a sweetening agent in foods and drinks. It has also been used in the manufacture of Polyurethane foams, printing inks, and transparent soaps. Sucrose has been used in conjunction with Mannitol for the impregnation of waterlogged Wood (Morgos and Imazu, 1993).
