Pharmaceutical SucrosePharmaceutical sucrose is a type of sucrose with high purity. Sucrose is widely found in various plants, including their leaves, flowers, stems, seeds, and fruits. However, sugarcane and sugar beet contain particularly high levels of sucrose, making them important raw materials for sucrose purification. Sugarcane boasts a sugar content as high as 70%, possesses a sweet taste, and holds significant nutritional value, serving as the primary raw material for pharmaceutical sucrose. In essence, pharmaceutical sucrose originates from the sugarcane plant.

The production process of pharmaceutical sucrose is somewhat complex. The first step involves preparing high-sugar content, fresh sugarcane, followed by cleaning and crushing. Specialized equipment then presses the processed sugarcane to extract a large amount of raw sucrose juice. However, this raw juice contains numerous impurities and requires further processing. This often involves clarification and sedimentation in special containers to remove impurities.

    Pharmaceutical SucroseDuring processing, the extracted sugarcane juice undergoes purification. This involves adding a suitable amount of clarifying agent or lime milk. Chemical reactions precipitate acidic substances within the liquid. Some manufacturers also use sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide for clarification. After sedimentation, impurities are removed. The resulting clean liquid is then evaporated to remove water before proceeding to the boiling and crystallization stages.

After boiling and simmering, pharmaceutical sucrose forms crystals, representing the initial form of pharmaceutical sucrose. These crystals are then dried and sieved, allowing the classification of pharmaceutical sucrose into different grades. Subsequent packaging according to grade yields the finished pharmaceutical sucrose, ready for sale and use. The processing of pharmaceutical sucrose is similar to that of regular sucrose; however, to produce sucrose or white sugar for common consumption, further deep processing, purification, and classification/packaging are required.

While the preceding text provides a detailed explanation of the origin and processing ofPharmaceutical Sucrosepharmaceutical sucrose, illustrating its raw materials and production methods, attempting to purify pharmaceutical sucrose at home is quite troublesome and yields limited results. Therefore, commercially available pharmaceutical sucrose is produced by specialized manufacturers using modern equipment and assembly lines, guaranteeing quality and hygiene—achievements that home purification methods cannot replicate.
