Sugar are white crystalline solids of sucrose. Commonly sucrose is known as sugar or sometime table sugar or even sometime called as White Poison Sugar is called as white poison because it is thought that sugar is main reason behind diabetes. I will come to this point later.
Today I am describing sugar terms, as sugar is used in different Food items has different names like syrups etc.
Juice
Juice is the liquid what comes out by pressing from fruit. When we press the fruit liquid which is extracted from fruit and screened is known as fruit juice. Sometime sugar is added into it. However the solid contents from fruit and from sugar which we add should not increase from 12-14%.
Nector
Nector is mixture of fruit juice and pulp. It contains 22-25% solids from fruit and sugar.
Pulp
Pulp is the mixture of solid and juice extracted from fruit. It contains all the solids and liquid from fruit. nothing remains.
Squash
Squashes are fruit pulp preserve that have solids 450-50%. In manufacturing of squashes we use fruit pulp and same amount of sugar to increase the solids. As solids increased microbes cannot grow and our food remains drinkable at room temperature for long time.
Syrup
Syrups are blends of sugar solution evaporated to 70 % solids. At this solid stage no microbe will grow and our food will have a long life.
Jam
Jams are fruit pulp with same amount of sugar added and boiled to increase the solid contents to 63-65%. In jams we add stabilizing agents so that the structure of jam will remain tough and it will also bound the moisture. Hence increase the shelf life of Food.
Marmalade
Marmalade are same as jam. the only difference in jam and marmalade is the addition of peels. Peels are added about 10% of whole mixture.
Jelly
Jelly have a very simple formulation. As it contains 50% filtered juice and 50% sugar with thickening agents to hold it tight.
