Sugar

1. SUGAR COOKERY Prepared by: Mr. Joshua B. Laxa

2. SUGAR Sugar is a natural sweetener which provides 15 calories per teaspoon. It is a disaccharide sucrose, a carbohydrate found in every fruit and vegetable. All green plants manufacture sugar through photosynthesis, the process by which plants transform sunlight and soil nutrients into their food and energy supply. Sugar cane and sugar beets contain sucrose in large quantities, that’s why they are used as the source of the sugar we use.

3. Granulated Sugar - It is highly refined, multi-purpose sugar. It is also sometimes called refined table or white sugar. It is made from sugar cane and sugar beets. It is used in cooking and baking.   TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

4. 2. Caster sugar - It is super fine granulated white sugar, because the crystals are so fine, they dissolve much quicker than standard granulated white sugar which makes it ideal for making meringues, syrups and cocktails. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

5. 3. Confectioners ’ Sugar - Confectioners ’ sugar also referred as powdered sugar and 10x sugar. This is a type of white sugar that has been ground into a fine powder. To prevent clumping, a small amount of cornstarch is typically blended in. It is easily dissolves in liquid, and is ideal for making icing and frosting, as well as decorating baked goods. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

6. 4. Pearl Sugar - It is nib sugar or hail sugar. Pearl sugar is a variety of white sugar that has a coarse, hard texture and an opaque color. It also holds its shape and does not melt when exposed to high temperature. It is used to decorate pastries, cookies and buns. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

7. 5.Sanding Sugar - Sanding sugar is used mainly for decorating. It has large crystals, which are fairly resistant to heat and add extra texture and crunch to cookies and other baked goods. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

8. 6. Cane sugar - Cane sugar is produced solely from sugar cane and is minimally processed. It has also a slightly larger grain, darker color, and higher price tag. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

9. 7. Demerara Sugar - Demerara sugar is a variety of raw cane sugar that is minimally refined. It has large grains with an amber color and a natural, subtle molasses flavor. It is used to sweeten coffee or tea, or as a topping on baked goods, like muffins, scones, cookies and cakes. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

10. 8. Turbinado Sugar - Turbinado is another type of minimally refined raw cane sugar. This sugar variety has large medium-brown crystals and is often mistaken for standard brown sugar because of its color. It has a delicate caramel flavor and is commonly used to sweeten beverages and can also be used in baking. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

11. 9. Muscovado Sugar - Muscovado sugar is a variety of unrefined cane sugar in which the molasses is not removed. It has a sticky, wet, sandy texture with a rich complex flavor. It can be used as a substitute for brown sugar. Its flavor is much stronger. It’s especially wonderful in barbecue sauce, marinades and savory dishes. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

12. 10. Light Brown Sugar - Light brown sugar is refined white sugar with a small amount of molasses added in it. It has a wet sandy structure. It is used for making any baked goods as well as in savory dishes. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

13. 11. Dark Brown Sugar - It is refined as white sugar. It contains more molasses than light brown sugar which gives it a stronger, more intense flavor. Light and dark brown sugar can be used interchangeably. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

14. 12. Honey Honey has an intense sweetness, but the flavor is determined by the source of the flower nectar. In general, darker the honey, stronger the flavor. Like corn syrup, honey adds moisture to cakes and cookies. Unlike corn syrup which has a fairly neutral flavor, honey adds distinctive flavor. TYPES OF SUGAR USED IN COOKING

15. USES OF SUGAR Preserves and Jams : Sugar is commonly used as a preservative in jams and jellies, and enhances the color and flavor of various fruits. The addition of sugars to jams and jellies is also essential to the gelling process, to obtain the desired consistency and firmness.

16. USES OF SUGAR 2. Baking Sugar helps tenderize bakery products and provides a source of nourishment for the growth of yeast, which helps the leavening process (e.g. breads to rise). The browning reaction that sugar undergoes when exposed to heat adds flavor, and contributes to the appearance of color that can be seen on baked goods such as the crusts of bread and the browning of cookies.

17. USES OF SUGAR 3. Canning and Freezing Sugars are added to canned fruits and vegetables to improve flavor, enhance texture, and preserve natural colors. Sugars are also used to slow the freezing process, and prevent large ice crystals from forming in frozen sweet mixtures, such as ice cream.

18. USES OF SUGAR 4. Candy Sugar (sucrose) is the primary ingredient in a wide variety of candies, largely due to its solubility. In its simplest form, candy is made by dissolving sugar in water, and heating the solution. As the temperature rises, more sugar can dissolve. The solution is boiled until no more sugar will dissolve (a "supersaturated" solution).

19. USES OF SUGAR 5. General Cooking Sugar is a key ingredient in the preparation of custards, puddings, and sauces. These food products depend on sugar to perform a number of functions, in addition to its role as a sweetener. In custards, sugars help to breakdown proteins in egg whites so that they are more evenly dispersed in the liquid mixture.

20. USES OF SUGAR 6. Beverages - Sugars are added to beverages to provide both sweetness and body (otherwise known as "mouth feel"). Sugars are also important in the brewing and wine-making industry. Sugars or other carbohydrates (except lactose) can be used to produce alcohols by fermentation.
