Real questions: How do they make sugar from sugar cane? How do they process stevia and reduce it's volatility, as in it's raw form it breaks down quickly? I'd also like to mention that some KZfaq chemists have refined sugar in small quantities to white sugar crystals without to much hassle, and he said he doesn't use a filter, but you pointed out correctly that the lime acts as a filter.
@ivanmeneses9256 жыл бұрын
The process is not that different, the canes are passed through a machine that squishes them flat separating the "cane juice" and the plant fiber, also called "bagazo" in spanish, the juice is can be drinked by itself, fermented into rum or other spirits like guaro and aguardiente, cooked into brown lumps or candy. To make sugar the juice is cooked until the glucose and fructose combine into sacarose (something like reverse hydrolisis, dunno i'm no chemist) and the water content is suficiently reduced. Eventualy the mixture will be dry enough to crumble as crystals of impure sacarose, called brown sugar. It can be further processed by "cleaning" it with sulphur gasses that pull the impurities rendering white sugar. The bagazo is burned to produce electricity and heat for the plant consumption, believe it or not it is quite environmentally friendly as the same amount of carbon dioxide released by the combustion is fixated by the sugar cane during its life cycle, which is quite short. (This is by no means the way it is done everywhere, but it is as close as the explanation given to us on a field trip to our country's biggest sugar refinery (in Grecia, Costa Rica))

Huh?? How did you reach that conclusion? Something has to give sugar its white colour because it's not naturally white. The source material for any sugar is coloured brownish so why is white sugar, that is made from a brownish substance, white? There has to be an additive and the only additive that is added to the sugar that is white is lime/chalk. Bubble this through CO2 one will turn the lime into calcium carbonate which is also white. So next time you add a teaspoon of sugar into your drink, remember you're eating chalk 👍 I've often wondered why white sugar smells smoky 🤣🤣🤣 @@jash21222
