Refined sugar, in contrast to a simple sugar, is a greater degree of purification.The trade sugar producers comes in various forms: powder, sand or compressed.The technology, which is obtained by refined sugar, simple, as the raw material used beet or cane material.Finished products of both types of raw material to taste almost the same, but the cost price is different.Production of refined sugar from cane raw materials more expensive and takes longer.
essence of the process of obtaining the purified product is to prepare a saturated solution, which is then converted into a syrup for further thorough adsorption and filtration.After the resulting mass is placed in a vacuum device, which is brought to a state of complete condensation.To make it states have a snow-white color, it is treated with a suspension of ultramarine (food coloring).
In the next step, refined sugar can be produced in two ways, depending on how the final product - molded or extruded.The first option is more expensive and complicated.When it refined sugar is obtained, pouring mass (massecuite) to specialized form where it hardens slowly.To remove the molasses solution is poured on top of refined sugar, the procedure is repeated three or four times.As a result of processing the finished product removed from the molds and divided into blocks required size.It is much easier and cheaper to obtain refined sugar molded manner when bleaching the syrup comes in a special centrifuge.The resulting material is compressed and operation dried, and then separating the solid mass into parallelepipeds.
As a rule, assess the quality of the product produced sensory methods by which determine the taste, smell, color, transparency of the solution.Color of refined substances should be white with no stains and clean, maybe a bluish tint.The taste is sweet, without other flavors, the same applies to the smell.The solution must not have impurities, sediment and be clear or slightly opalescent.Among the physical and chemical properties are considered to be the most important:
- mass fraction of sucrose, moisture, reducing substances;
- ferroprimesey content;
- color;
- fortress.
are also important characteristics of various microbiological: yeasts, pathogens, molds, MAFAM, BGKP3.Tracking pesticides (Fostoksin, hexachloran) and toxic substances (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, copper, zinc).Product packaging in the form of sand and powder in packets and sugar lumps - in individual boxes or bags (2 piece in parchment and artistic wrapper).
Transportation and storage of refined sugar is carried out in containers or in closed vehicles.Cars, holds, containers should not have to be dry and cracks, the roof must not skip moisture, doors and hatches - tightly closed.Product should be kept at a humidity of not more than 70% and a temperature not higher than 40 ° C, carefully separated from the other substances and materials.
