Caster sugar is the British term for a fine sugar. Itâs called caster sugar because the sugar granules are tiny enough to be sprinkled through a condiment dispenser known as a âcaster.â. In the United States, this sugar is called superfine.
Saccharose is an obsolete name for sugars in general, especially sucrose. The molecule is a disaccharide combination of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose with the formula C12H22O11. Sucrose is often extracted and refined from either cane or beet sugar for human consumption. Modern industrial sugar refinement processes often involves bleaching and crystallization also, producing a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a sweet taste of pure sucrose, devoid of vitamins and minerals. This refined form of sucrose is commonly referred to as table sugar or just sugar.
