Types of Sugar

Types of Sugar at Thai sugar Factory for sale. All sugar is made by first extracting sugar juice from sugar beet or sugar cane plants, and from there, many types of sugar can be produced. Through slight adjustments in the process of cleaning, crystallizing and drying the sugar and varying the level of molasses, different sugar varieties are possible.

What are the different types of sugar?

Sugars are classified in a number of ways including crystal size (granulated, powdered, or superfine) and color (white or brown). Sugars of various crystal sizes provide unique functional characteristics that make the sugar suitable for different foods and beverages. Sugar color is primarily determined by the amount of molasses remaining on or added to the crystals, giving pleasurable flavors and altering moisture. Heating sugar also changes the color and flavor (yum, caramel!). Some types of sugar are used only by the food industry and are not available in the supermarket.

White Sugars

Types of White Sugar

“Regular” or “Regular” White Granulated Sugar:

Regular or Regular White Granulated Sugar

 

  • This is what you typically find in your sugar bowl.
  • Granulated sugar is the most common sugar called for in recipes when cooking and baking.
  • “Regular” sugar granules are fine because small crystals are ideal for bulk handling and not susceptible to caking.

Superfine Sugar

Superfine Sugar

  • Also known as caster or bar sugar, this sugar has the smallest crystal size of white granulated sugars.
  • It is generally used in making delicate or smooth desserts, such as mousse or puddings.
  • Because the crystals are so fine, they dissolve easily, even in cold drinks.

Coarse Sugar

Coarse Sugar

  • Coarse sugar has a larger crystal size than regular sugar.
  • It results from the crystallization of molasses-rich sugar syrups that are high in sucrose.
  • The large crystal size makes it highly resistant to color change or inversion (natural breakdown to fructose and glucose) at cooking and baking temperatures, important characteristics for use in making fondants, confections and liquors.

Brown Sugar

Types of Brown Sugar

Light and Dark Brown Sugars

Light and Dark Brown Sugars

  • Brown sugars are either made by directly boiling a brown sugar syrup or mixing white sugar with various amounts of molasses.
  • Light brown sugar is often used in sauces and most baked goods.
  • Dark brown sugar has a deeper color and stronger molasses flavor than light brown sugar—the rich, full flavor makes it ideal for gingerbread, baked beans, barbecuing and other full-flavored foods.
  • Brown sugars tend to clump because they contain more moisture than white sugars, allowing baked goods to retain moisture well and stay chewy.

Turbinado Sugar

Turbinado Sugar

  • Turbinado sugar is a partially processed sugar which retains more of the naturally present molasses. It is sometimes called Demerara Sugar or Raw Cane Sugar.
  • It has a blond color, mild brown sugar flavor and larger crystals than brown sugars used in baking.
  • Turbinado sugar is the sugar in your packet of “raw cane sugar.” This type of sugar has been processed just enough to make it safe to eat.

Muscovado Sugar

Muscovado Sugar

  • Also known as Barbados sugar, muscovado sugar is an unrefined cane sugar in which the molasses has not been removed.
  • It is very dark brown and has a particularly strong molasses flavor.
  • The crystals are slightly coarser and stickier than regular brown sugar, giving this sugar a sandy texture.

Free-Flowing Brown Sugar

  • Also known as granulated brown sugar, this powder-like brown sugar is less moist than regular brown sugar.
  • Since it is less moist, it does not clump and is free flowing, like white sugar.
  • To get the brown sugar taste in a free flowing product, the sugar undergoes a special process making the sugar very low moisture.
  • As it is so easy to measure and sprinkle, free-flowing brown sugar is great for topping on cereals and oatmeal.
