sugar \sug"ar\, n. oe. sugre, f. sucre cf. it. zucchero, sp.
az'ucar, fr. ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. skr. ,carkar=a
sugar, gravel; cf. per. shakar. cf. saccharine, sucrose.
1. a sweet white or brownish yellow crystalline substance,
of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by
crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as
the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. it
is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food

note: the term sugar includes several commercial grades, as
the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the
raw brown or muscovado. in a more general sense, it
includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the
glucoses, or grape sugars including glucose proper,
dextrose, and levulose, and the sucroses, or true
sugars as cane sugar. all sugars are carbohydrates.
see carbohydrate. the glucoses, or grape sugars, are
ketone alcohols of the formula c6h12o6, and they turn
the plane of polarization to the right or the left.
they are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by
the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are
themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and
carbon dioxide. the only sugar called acrose as yet
produced artificially belongs to this class. the
sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose
anhydrides of the formula c12h22o11. they are usually
not fermentable as such cf. sucrose, and they act
on polarized light.
