How many grams cup sugar?

White sugar is a sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, two simple sugars. It has a white, crystalline appearance and is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverages.

White sugar is produced from sugarcane or sugar beets. The process of extracting sugar from these plants involves several steps, incluyendo:

1. Harvesting: Sugarcane or sugar beets are harvested when they are mature.

2. Crushing: The harvested sugarcane or sugar beets are crushed to extract their juice.

3. Purification: The juice is purified to remove impurities such as dirt and debris.

4. Evaporation: The purified juice is heated and concentrated to form a thick syrup.

5. Crystallization: The concentrated syrup is cooled to encourage crystallization.

6. Centrifugation: The crystallized sugar is separated from the syrup by centrifugation.

7. Drying: The crystallized sugar is dried to remove any remaining moisture.

The resulting product is white sugar, which is available in various grades and forms, such as granulated sugar, caster sugar, and powdered sugar.
