What is sugar refining?

Sugar refining is the process of purifying raw sugar, typically extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets, to produce white, food-grade sugar. The process involves removing impurities, color, and non-sugar materials through steps like affination, carbonatation or phosphatation, filtration, and crystallization. The result is refined sugar that is suitable for use in food production, baking, and everyday consumption. Sugar refining is essential to ensure the safety, consistency, and sweetness of the final product.
