What's the difference between fine sugar and white sugar?

First of all, fine sugar is extracted from sugarcane, so it is also called sucrose, which is dry. On the other hand, white sugar mixed with sucrose has a certain proportion of invert sugar, which is moist. White sugar is a raw material in Japan, in which all sucrose is carbonated sugar. China's domestic sugar is mostly sulfide sugar, and the product is easy to turn yellow. The similarities and differences between the two are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Sweet, fine sugar tastes light and refreshing; Because white sugar is mixed with other converted sugars, it has a high sweetness and a strong taste.

2. Colorability, because white sugar contains invert sugar, the color of the finished product under the same conditions will be darker than that of the finished product using only fine sugar. However, fine sugar does not contain invert sugar, and the coloring effect is only caused by the coking effect of sugar, so the coloring effect is lighter than that of white sugar.

3. Water retention capacity: White sugar containing invert sugar has stronger water retention capacity than fine sugar, so if the finished product has moist taste, white sugar can be selected as the ingredient.
