What is Refined Beet Sugar?
Refined beet sugar is one of the most common types of sugar found in kitchens worldwide. It comes from processing sugar beets to extract and crystalize the natural sucrose. Read on to learn how refined beet sugar is made, its characteristics, and everyday uses.

Origin of Beet Sugar derived from sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) accounts for about 30% of the world’s annual sugar production. Sugar beets originated from the coast of Europe and were first cultivated as a sugar source in the late 1700s when Napoleon imposed a blockade on sugar cane imports. Beet sugar production spread across Eur

ope through the 19th century and later to North America.

How Beet Sugar is Refined
Refined beet sugar undergoes an intensive process to extract and purify the sucrose from sugar beets. First, beetroots are washed, sliced, and soaked in hot water to draw out the sugar-rich juice. The raw beet juice is then filtered and purified using processes like carbonation, phosphatation, and ion exchange chromatography. These remove impurities.

The purified beet liquid gets concentrated through evaporation before seeding it with small sucrose crystals. As the sugar saturates the liquid solution, larger crystals form in a process called crystallization. The crystals are then separated from the fluid through centrifugation and drying. The final product is sparkling white refined beet sugar.
