The purity of sugar is relatively high, so when it is suitable for cooking, the fishy smell is removed to achieve a refreshing effect. Although rock sugar is said to have lost a lot of nutrients in the production process and technology, it belongs to crystal products, so its taste is relatively light, so it can be used as dessert at ordinary times, and some dishes are made through rock sugar.
Extraction process
In fact, rock sugar and brown sugar are extracted from sugar cane and sugar beet and belong to the category of sucrose. Brown sugar is a mixture of sucrose and molasses, and white sugar is made of brown sugar through several processes such as washing, centrifugation, honey separation and color peeling. Rock sugar is formed by recrystallization of white sugar under certain conditions. Generally speaking, brown sugar is warm and contains many impurities. Rock candy is the crystallization of sugar.
The crystalline product of white sugar is refined sugar made from molasses squeezed from sugarcane and beet. Rock candy is made of white sugar by dissolving in water, removing impurities, clearing juice, evaporating, concentrating, cooling and crystallizing. There are white, yellow, red, crimson and other colors, and the crystal is like ice, hence the name rock sugar.
