Sugar and Other Sweeteners

  • Chapter
Riegel’s Handbook of Industrial Chemistry

Abstract

Sugar and starch are among those organic “chemicals” found so abundantly in nature that no serious efforts have been made to synthesize them commercially from coal (or petroleum), air, and water. Both are available at such concentrations in some plants that sizable industries have resulted from growing those plants and extracting carbohydrates therefrom.
