Chemical Information
NameSucrose
DescriptionSweetening agent and food source assimilated by most organismsand is also used in food products as a preservative, antioxidant, moisture control agent, stabiliser and thickening agent. Widespread in seeds, leaves, fruits, flowers and roots of plants, where it functions as an energy store for metabolism and as a carbon source for biosynth. Annual world production is in excess of 90 x 106 tons mainly from the juice of sugar cane and sugar beet which contain respectively ca. 20% and ca. 17% of the sugar. Sucrose is found in many foods, some of which are rowanberry, brassicas, calabash, and hedge mustard.
