Sucrose extraction

Sucrose extraction refers to the process of obtaining sucrose, a natural sugar, from sugar-rich plants like sugarcane and sugar beets. The process typically involves crushing the plants to release their juice, which contains dissolved sucrose. The juice is then purified by removing impurities, often through filtration and heating. Finally, sucrose is crystallized from the purified juice, resulting in the sugar we commonly use. This method harnesses the sweet flavor of sucrose, which is widely used as a sweetener in food and beverages around the world.
