Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrose (or table sugar) is an equal combination of glucose and fructose – one molecule of each. Table sugar primarily comes from sugar cane and beets which contain sucrose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Table sugar, called sucrose, is made from sugar cane or beets and is 50 percent glucose and 50 percent fructose.
Detailed explanation-3: -White table sugar comes from either sugarcane or sugar beets and is usually sold without its plant source clearly identified. This is because-chemically speaking-the two products are identical. Refined table sugar is pure, crystallized sucrose, much in the same way that pure salt is simply sodium chloride.
