Sucrose, or table sugar, is a common type of sugar made of glucose and fructose. It is a disaccharide, meaning that it is made up of two monosaccharide sugar units and a simple carbohydrate. Sucrose is a crystal at room temperature that can be caramelized by heating.
The white stuff we know as sugar is sucrose, a molecule composed of 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen (C12H22O11). Like all compounds made from these three elements, sugar is a carbohydrate. Its found naturally in most plants, but especially in sugarcane and sugar beetshence their names. Sucrose is actually two simpler sugars stuck together: fructose and glucose. In recipes, a little bit of acid (for example, some lemon juice or cream of tartar) will cause sucrose to break down into these two components.
