(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, January 11, 2019 ) The demand for refined cane sugar is gaining traction across the globe. Its application as an additive to sweeten a vast range of food and beverage products is increasing, owing to its high refinement. Consumption of refined cane sugar is surging in both developed and emerging countries. This is largely owing to the increasing consumer preference for healthier and pure food ingredients. Moreover, refined cane sugar is available in several texture variants and also a prominent source of essential nutrients. However, this extensive refining process can sometimes reduce its fiber and nutritional content. At the same time, the additional steps involved in processing of refined cane sugar incurs higher costing, which invariably makes it more expensive as compared to standard variants. Countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia are major producers of refined cane sugar. Since sugarcane is one of the most commonly irrigated crops in these countries, the production of various types of sugar is also considerably high.

Refined cane sugar is further treated to eliminate any non-sugar content. In the final stage, the sugar crystals are transformed into finer granules. Refined cane sugar has its own unique properties that differentiate it in terms of appearance, use and taste.
