ABSTRACT
When the term “sugar” is commonly used, it normally refers to cane sugar (or sometimes beet sugar), which is the familiar household commodity many of us use to sweeten our coffee. In chemistry, sugar is the name given to any one of a large group of carbohydrate compounds that share common structural and chemical properties. In addition to cane sugar, known chemically as sucrose, other more familiar sugars are glucose and fructose.
