The difference between pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar


Pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar are both sweeteners, and their main raw material is sugarcane. However, there are many differences between the two types of sugar. They have obvious differences in color, use, and taste.


  Pharmaceutical sucroseAlthough both pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar are sugars, and their main raw material is sugarcane, there are many differences between the two, and the differences are very obvious. Pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar have very obvious differences in their uses, because pharmaceutical sucrose is a commonly used auxiliary material in the production of medicinal liquids. It is a flavoring agent in drug production and an important forming agent. This ingredient can be widely used in the production of various drugs such as drug granules, tablets, and syrups.

  

Pharmaceutical sucrose


  Pharmaceutical sucroseIt plays a very important role in the pharmaceutical processing industry. In the production of some oral liquids, tonics, and traditional Chinese medicine pills, it is an indispensable component. White sugar, on the other hand, is a common ingredient in life and a seasoning that people often use. It can be used to make drinks or to make various desserts and pastries; its main function is to add flavor, and it cannot be used in drug production.

  Pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar also have some differences in their appearance. Pharmaceutical sucrose is mainly a colorless, white powder; it tastes sweet and has no odor, and it is easily soluble in water. White sugar is white, shiny, and free of black spots; its appearance is relatively uniform. It is extracted from sugarcane and its main component is sucrose, but it can be divided into white sugar and soft white sugar. White sugar can also be produced from sugar beets through processing. Its sucrose content is as high as 99.5%, but according to the sucrose content, it can be divided into refined white sugar, superior white sugar, first-grade, second-grade, and several other different grades.

  Both pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar are sweet foods, but they also have some differences in taste. Pharmaceutical sucrose has a heavier sweetness, while white sugar is slightly less sweet. When pharmaceutical sucrose is used in drug production, it needs to be added proportionally; if the proportion is not well controlled, it will affect the taste and quality of the drug after production. White sugar can be used freely according to one's needs in daily life without any restrictions on the amount. However, when using it to make desserts and pastries, the amount of white sugar should also be noted. If the amount is too large, the food will be too sweet, and the taste will not be good.

  From the detailed introduction of pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar above, we can see thatPharmaceutical sucrosePharmaceutical sucrose is natural sucrose that has not undergone deep processing, while white sugar is a food obtained after deep processing of sucrose. The prices of pharmaceutical sucrose and white sugar sold on the market are also different. Pharmaceutical sucrose is mainly purchased in bulk, and its price is slightly lower than that of white sugar sold on the market. However, like white sugar, sucrose can be divided into several grades, and the prices of products of different grades will also vary.
