- Definition
- The manufacture of refined sugar from raw sugar.
- Description
- The raw sugar is mixed with heavy syrup, centrifuged, separated, dissolved, treated, filtered, concentrated to supersaturation and then repeatedly crystallized under vacuum to produce white refined sugar. To produce granulated sugar in which the individual sugar grains do not clump together, the refined sugar must be completely dried. This is accomplished first by drying the sugar in a hot rotary dryer, and then by conditioning the sugar by blowing cool air through it for several days.
