Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates (composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen). Sugar is found naturally in many foods e.g. fruits, vegetables, honey, malt products, cereals, milk etc. Sugar can be divided in the following categories:
- Monosaccharide – e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose
- Disaccharide – e.g. sucrose, maltose, lactose
- Oligosaccharide – e.g. Fructo-oligosaccharides, Galacto – oligosaccharides
A sugar substitute is a food additive that provides a sweet taste like that of sugar while containing significantly less food energy. Some sugar substitutes are natural and some are synthetic. Those that are not natural are, in general, called artificial sweeteners.
Sugar is used in the food industry for:
- Providing sweetness
- Serving as preservatives in jams and jellies
- Increasing the boiling point or reducing the freezing point of foods
