Watch Out for These Sugar Names!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sugar can hide under many different names in foods. Here\u2019s a guide to some common sugar names you might encounter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>: Contains sugar crystals mixed with molasses syrup. It\u2019s about 91% to 96% sucrose. Some brown sugar is made by adding syrup to refined white sugar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Confectioner\u2019s Sugar (Powdered Sugar)<\/strong>: Finely ground sucrose crystals mixed with a small amount of cornstarch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Corn Syrups<\/strong>: Produced by breaking down cornstarch with enzymes or acids. They can contain 42%, 55%, or 90% fructose, with dextrose making up the rest.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Dextrose (Glucose)<\/strong>: Also known as corn sugar, it&#8217;s made from starch and often blended with regular sugar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)<\/strong>: A sweetener from cornstarch with varying fructose levels, made sweeter than regular corn syrup through an enzyme-linked process.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Honey<\/strong>: An invert sugar created by bees from nectar. It contains fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Invert Sugar<\/strong>: A blend of glucose and fructose, formed by splitting sucrose. It prevents crystallization in candy making.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Lactose<\/strong>: Milk sugar found in whey and skim milk. It&#8217;s used in the pharmaceutical industry and occurs naturally in mammal milk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Levulose (Fructose)<\/strong>: A sweeter sugar than sucrose, naturally present in fruits. Its sweetness can vary based on its form and usage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Raw Sugar<\/strong>: Coarse granulated crystals from evaporated sugar cane juice. It contains impurities and is not typically sold in grocery stores due to FDA regulations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Sorbitol, Mannitol, Maltitol, and Xylitol<\/strong>: Sugar alcohols found naturally in fruits and produced from sources like dextrose. Xylitol is as sweet as sucrose, while the others are about half as sweet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Sucrose<\/strong>: Common table sugar from sugar cane or beets, consisting of glucose and fructose. It is 99.9% pure and available in granulated or powdered forms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Turbinado Sugar<\/strong>: Raw sugar refined to remove impurities and most molasses. It\u2019s edible when processed correctly but has sometimes contained trace contaminants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adapted from <em>Dietary Sugar and Alternative Sweeteners<\/em> by Janice R.
