Sugar is produced from sugarcane through a process of extraction and refining. First, the sugarcane plantations are harvested, usually by hand or with the help of machines, by cutting the mature stalks of the plant. The sugarcane is then transported to processing plants. At the plant, the sugarcane goes through a milling process, where it is crushed to extract the sugary juice present inside. This juice is rich in sucrose, the main substance that makes up sugar. The juice is then subjected to clarification and filtration processes to remove impurities and unwanted particles. After clarification, the juice is concentrated through evaporation, which results in the formation of sugar crystals. These crystals are then separated from the remaining liquid, called molasses, by means of centrifugation. The sugar crystals are washed, dried and refined to achieve the desired quality standard. The final product can be sold as refined white sugar or undergo additional processes to produce different types of sugar, such as brown sugar or confectioner's sugar. #howisitmade #sugar #howissugarmade #interestingfacts #sugarfactory
