Latin America Brown Sugar Market Overview

Brown Sugar is a sucrose sugar product which has a distinctive brown colour due to the presence of molasses. It is either a partially refined or unrefined soft sugar which consists of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content which is natural brown sugar, or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar which is called commercial brown sugar. Brown sugar is commonly produced by adding sugarcane molasses to white sugar crystals which is completely refined to carefully control the ratio of sugar crystals to molasses and to reduce the cost of manufacturing. Brown sugar which is prepared in this manner is often much rougher than its unrefined equivalent and its molasses can be easily removed from the crystals by simply washing to obtain white sugar crystals; in contrast, with unrefined brown sugar, washing will reveal underlying crystals which have off-white colour due to the presence of molasses. The white sugar used can be from either cane or beet, as the nutritional value, chemical composition, colour, and taste of fully refined white sugar are the same for practical purposes.
