New York City, New York Nov 1, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Sugar, also known as table sugar or sucrose, is a disaccharide that consists of glucose and fructose molecules and has the molecular formula C12H22O11. It is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Sugar is a type of soluble carbohydrate that provides energy and gets easily digested and absorbed by the body. It is used to sweeten, preserve, and improve the functional attributes of foods and beverages, including color, texture, viscosity and browning capability. According to IMARC Group, the global sugar market size reached 187.9 Million Tons in 2018.
Sugar is consumed across all socioeconomic age groups on account of its economic nature and easy availability. It has also been universally accepted across the food industry as it helps to balance acidity, add bulk or prevent spoilage. It also acts as a preservative, where it inhibits the growth of microorganisms and is also used to hold moisture, prevent staleness, enhance texture and color, and prevent large ice crystals from forming in frozen sweet mixtures. Besides this, in cosmetics and personal care products, sugar is used in numerous products, including body and hand preparations, bath products, soaps and detergents, depilatories, cleansing products, eye makeup, foundations, hair care products, suntan products and oral hygiene products. Along with this, sugar is useful in treating wounds and severe burns as it restricts microbial growth while providing nourishment to the tissues. Also, it is utilized in pharmaceutical tablets as a diluent, binder and protective layer, and in cough syrups as a result of its bodying and solubility effects. Owing to its extensive usage in these industries, the market is projected to reach a volume of 199.6 Million Tons by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of nearly 1% during 2019-2024.
