This is a list of sugars and sugar products. Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.
Zuckerarten und Zuckerprodukte[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Agave nectar – very high in fructose and sweeter than honey
- Barley malt syrup – around 65% maltose and 30% complex carbohydrate
- Barley sugar – similar to hard caramel
- Birch syrup – around 42-54% fructose, 45% glucose, plus a small amount of sucrose
- Brown sugar – Consists of a minimum 88% sucrose and invert sugar. Commercial brown sugar contains from 4.5% molasses (light brown sugar) to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar) based on total volume. Based on total weight, regular commercial brown sugar contains up to 10% molasses.
- Caramel – made of a variety of sugars
- Coconut sugar – 70-79% sucrose and 3-9% glucose and fructose
- Corn syrup – made from maize starch, made of varying quantities of maltose and higher oligosaccharides
- Date sugar
- Disaccharide – also known as double sugar, it is made when two monosaccharides (aka simple sugars) are joined together. Examples include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
- Free sugar – a term that describes all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to food and naturally present sugars in honey, syrups, and fruit juices
- Fructose – a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose
- Galactose – a monosaccharide sugar not as sweet as glucose or fructose
- Glucose
- Golden syrup – refined sugar cane or sugar beet juice
- High fructose corn syrup – made from corn starch, roughly 50% glucose and 50% fructose[1]
- High maltose corn syrup – mainly maltose, not as sweet as high fructose corn syrup
- Honey – consists of fructose and glucose
- Icing sugar – finely ground white sugar, roughly 50% glucose and 50% fructose
- Inverted sugar syrup – glucose and fructose
- Jaggery – made from date, cane juice, or palm sap, contains 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, and a maximum of 20% moisture
- Lactose – found in milk, this is a disaccharide sugar derived from galactose and glucose
- Maltose: a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(1→4) bond, formed from a condensation reaction
- Maple sugar – around 90% sucrose
- Maple syrup – around 90% sucrose
- Molasses (from sugar beets) – consists of 50% sugar by dry weight, mainly sucrose, but also contains substantial amounts of glucose and fructose
- Molasses (from sugar cane)
- Monosaccharide – refers to 'simple sugars', these are the most basic units of carbohydrates. Examples are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
- Palm sugar
- Sucrose – also known as white sugar or table sugar is a disaccharide combination of the two monosaccharides glucose and fructose
- Toffee – caramelized sugar or molasses
- Treacle – any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar
- Trehalose – a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.
