What exactly do we mean by sugar? Most people would answer by describing the white granulated sugar found on the meal table. That is however only part of the answer. Table sugar is sucrose and is only one of a number of different sugars all of which belong to the carbohydrate group of basic energy foods.Sugars are a major form of carbohydrate and are found in probably all green plants. They occur in significant amounts in most fruits and vegetables. There are three main simple sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose. Sucrose is in fact a combination of fructose and glucose and the body quickly breaks it down into these separate substances.Lactose, another sugar very similar to sucrose, is an important component of milk and other dairy foods.To understand the role of sugar as a foodstuff, one needs to look more closely at carbohydrates. These are the basic energy foods which provide most directly the energy that all green plants produce and store. The two main carbohydrate categories are sugars and starches.The sugars are the simpler of the two. Starch molecules can be considered as sugar molecules strung together (rather loosely) in chains. These, more complex starch carbohydrates, are found in potatoes, ri
Nelson's victory at Trafalgar in 1805 was followed by a blockade which cut off continental Europe from cane sugar. The word sugar is itself derived from an Arabic word. In wet unloading the beet is washed from the lorry by means of a powerful jet of water. At the same time a sample of the particular load is taken to determine the sugar percentage and the amount of tare in the overall load. The demand for sugar was one of the major reasons for the slave trade for two centuries or more. Harvesting is also done by mechanical methods. The system there was to crush the root with a big millstone drawn by a horse. Seeds are sown encased in a pellet of fertiliser which not only protects it from pests but also assists it through its early development. The cane is four times as effective as any other tropical plant in terms of production of harvestable dry matter per hectare per year, and the beet is twice as productive as any temperate zone plant. The separated syrup ("molasses") is used mainly for animal feed. From mid September to early January harvesting occurs. For example, a grapefruit is an excellent source of Vitamin C which most people find too bitter to take without sugar. Later, the State took over the Carlow factory, and in the mid-thirties, built others at Mallow, Thurles and Tuam. Although the first attempts to create an Irish sugar industry were snuffed out by the taxes imposed in the Act of Union, it was nevertheless clear that making our own sugar would be a vital part of our development as an agricultural nation, and so experiments continued towards the end of the last century designed to produce the highest yielding form of sugar beet.
