- How It's Made: Sugar
We all love ice creams, candies, desserts, and all the other sugary treats that come to mind. Sugar has a very important role in the food industry, as it is used in multiple ways. Added sugar in foods serves as a preservative, sweetener, texture enhancer, as well as coloring and flavoring agent.
Sugar cane and sugar beets are the two main natural sources from which sugar is obtained. It was first domesticated by native New Guineans around 8000 B.C., making it one of the oldest products in existence. Sugar was frequently stored in vaults because of its high value. The first American sugar cane was planted in Louisiana in 1751, launching the nation's sugar industry, which currently supports 142,000 jobs across 22 states.
There are around 120 countries that manufacture sugar. 80% of the total sugar produced is made from sugar cane, with the remaining portion coming from sugar beets. Now let's discuss the steps of sugar production one by one

Now I understand the saying "Complicated as a sugar mill"...
WOW! That's a lot of processes!
1. Harvesting
2. Cleaning and initial preparation
3. Extraction of juice
4. Purification of juice
5. Crystallization
6. Centrifugation
7. Drying and packaging
a LOT of these clips have been seen in other "how its made" videos. But the process is really intricate. I've never seen this done before.
Wow it's incredible that 10000 years ago they had these machines.
That's why it was extremely expensive back then because they didn't have those machines.
Calcium hydroxide aka lime, earliest use recorded is 7000BCE(acc. to wikipedia.org) SO2 gas released by burning coal. While these are the only two major chemical reagents used they are also removed by distillation. Ofc just because these chemicals were well documented several thousand years ago does not imply that it was used in this exact method.
Machines 😅
Oh my goodness, I had no idea. I don’t want to use sugar after watching this.
Thanks for helping me get turned off from sugar
Fr I literally don't want to consume sugar now
Me too 😢
@toygardner8870 still are
👍👍👍
oh you thought a fairy used her wand to magically remove only the sucrose and make it into tiny dices?
Makes me wonder how on earth anyone made sugar hundreds of years ago before all this automation.
it was brown sugar, molasses, which is a paste, it was not white crystals
they have vidz of ppl doing it DIY
I find your videos a great place to explore and learn. The content in the video is exciting and thought-provoking.
How did they even come across this methods
In todays advanced world and education I still unthinkable & how much we are stunned at these inventions of mankind and some of us still can't think of these inventions .Our ancestors had done great things . And today we are fighting&mocking eachother over genders and religions.
@@Shade_KHAN75 100 percent. It clearly wasn't done this way always
Tradition ways vs Edison, world's fair, London industrial revolution vs new mechanical engineering vs lopsided trades policy. Once the north won over the south. Free expansion was in play. It surpassed the southern states and into came holders shares. Then boom! Exploration of sugar in North America. (The Chinese did this already a long time before that in the Cambodian Vietnam coastal area. Either way many countries tried to make a warehouse out of Carribean sugar extracts. It's facts.
It's not like they invented this all at once. It's mostly just simple chemistry.
Looked up “how sugar is made” was greatly disappointed 😔
why?
@@LiyaMathew2727no Mike Rowe
Who doesn't love sugar
Harvesting is not the first step if you are a grower, far from it! I had no idea about all the processes used to extract and revive sugar crystals until I watched this. Very good educational video, I wish you had included how the sugar cane or sugar beet is actually grown too.
Yeah that's normal....
we’ve been tricked into suger
What got me was that ethanol was used to make the sugar powder
Fr that’s all i was thinking about too lol
What's wrong with Ethanol, it's just alcohol? What got me was sulfur dioxide
@@adams5414ethanol can be made from sugar
now i can make sugar yay
First you get the sugar then you get the money
Fact
I still don't know how sugar is made.
So they Bleach the sugar in the "tall" towers to make it white....they left this important fact out
Exactly right
I mean they tell it later, SO2 gas is added. It acts as to precipitate calcium hydroxide(lime) to form calcium sulphite. Removed during distillation.
Just to address the subtext in the original comment, yes there is a bleaching process, but it's not the chlorine bleach you use in the laundry, it's SO2 gas. And since SO2 gas is so volatile, it's get absolutely evaporated away during the sugar drying process, there'll be virtually no trace left in the final product, which funnily enough, is pretty much pure sucrose. If you're scared of SO2 (and there's no reason to be), you should be much more scared of dried apricots (which are totally fine), which are preserved using SO2.
I'm not saying your wrong but I can't find any sources that supports your comment so can you please enlighten me ?
Sulf also at all wines 😮we must make everything self 😮
All these processes means only big business can own sugar factories
In my area there is a sugar mill owned by a co-op of 500 farming families. I believe it was set up with government loans 100+ years ago. Yes, hard to establish as a sole trader though.
How much is the whole machine
looks highly processed and toxic
This should be called “how we poison the masses”
No
Highly processed? Yes. Toxic? No. (Well, it's not exactly good for you as any nutritionist will tell you, but saying it's toxic is absurd.)
Toxic? No. Not unless you're a diabetic that is. Heavily refined? Absolutely
Processed, but not highly.
Toxic? The presence of trace elements can be easily verified by agencies. Funnily enough, to me the biggest concern is the fact that in my country the wrapper is usually plastic.
Metabolic problematic? Sucrose breaks down into glucose and fructose. The first is a mandatory molecule in your bloodstream 24/7, so much that you'll catabolize muscle to fullfil its lack. The later is shown to increase metabolic rate and to help glucose oxidation if one's liver is healthy. What what prejudices sugar metabolism in the first place? PUFAs (seed oils) and lack of B1/potassium/etc.
WOW that's incredible
wowwww it is help me a lot in my assignment tnx ❤❤❤
That was fantastic break down bravo
Sugar was first commercially produced in the than India now Bangladesh some 2000 years back
Can sugar be used as something else?
This is awesome. God bless you for this great work
Poison 😂😮
Remember guys just cause it comes from the ground, does not make it healthy.
It was healthy before they processed it to death with multiple chemicals
I want to know how it was made before all the chemical processes that I just watched
That's why sugar bar for you body!
Simple as sugar making in factory?
So that's why some stores carry natural sugar. I'm guessing natural sugar isn't made with all these chemicals.
no all sugar is processed with chemicals
Chemicals are not always bad. The human body is one big chemical factory in fact... the lime, surcose an ethanol are harmless substances.
Yeah here 5 dollar the pound sugar for the natural lady.
@@Murilover202 And the Calcium hydroxide, Sulfur dioxide...
@@corinasechelariu1307big scary chemical sounding names scare you? Would it help you sleep at night if they just called it sulphur smoke and pure limestone?
How are you making sugar cane
Chemical reactions about few muds 😮
This commentator makes me feel like he's talking to a toddler. Acting like he's annoyed I asked a question
Natural sugar is brown or greenish dark brown
Better selling raw cane sticks and sugar beets at stores ppl can make by ourselves at home
😮😮😮we eat poison
Our flour are polluted like this exactly adding too much poisons nobody recorded the process yet but we can feel eating poisons now and no taste at all
Look at the prevalence of cancers affecting younger and younger. Disease and dysfunction. I’m 44 , currently dealing with chronic pain (back) and erectile dysfunction. There is no rational explanation for this that doesn’t include diet. Sugar. Carbs, man made processed junk. I’m almost a year in of trying to eradicate from my diet completely as well as enhance my diet with more nutrients and Whole Foods. Go to the doc though and the remedy is to prescribe something. So exhausted 🥱 trying to educate yourself on how to be healthy in a culture that is practically shoving harmful foods and substances down your throat at every chance.
Ahana🎉😢😮😅😂❤
So you’re saying honey is probably the best option.
Somehow a bunch of bees vomiting nectar into each other's mouths to make honey is still more appealing than a hundred machines and chemical processing stages.
My mom wouldn’t like sugar
Even though sweets are my favorite food
Ppl eating these every second all poisoned 😮
Why dont they just buy it from the store
The sugar was first produced in India.
Is that what they teach you in Indian schools?
@@erjo2567 pahh jeets must be recognized at all costs.
Just eat fruit man.
Sugar daddy
🐤
Diabetes!
This guy is terrible at narration, wow.
Highly processed trash
Hi, can we get your e-mail id for business purposes?
Sketchy
@@landen-ie2ed Nah, it checks out. They said "business purposes".
