Brown sugar, also known as brown granulated sugar, is a high-quality sugar product made from sugarcane as the primary raw material. Through processes such as extraction, clarification, evaporation, crystallization, and separation, the crystallized sugar is separated from molasses, yielding white refined sugar. Natural brown sugar is specially processed into light or dark brown colored crystalline sugar with molasses added back at the factory in precise amounts.
Brown sugar derived from natural sugarcane contains trace minerals (such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium) and bioactive polyphenols due to the molasses content. It serves as a food ingredient, sweetness enhancer, humectant, and coloring agent in industrial food processing. The product is available in both powdered form (food industrial grade) and block form (traditional brown sugar), with moisture content and particle size optimized for industrial production lines.
