Now many people begin to drink black sugar. In fact, black sugar is boiled from sugarcane juice, and its nutritional value is also very high. Therefore, many health preserving people like to drink black sugar more and more. However, Ian is very mixed in the market now. There are genuine and defective goods mixed together, so many people will buy fake brown sugar if they don't pay attention. Then, how do we identify real and fake brown sugar when buying?
1. Look at the shape
Generally speaking, the darker the color of black sugar, the worse the quality. The real black sugar is powdery, but some are sticky, crystalline or powdery. It is dry and loose, not caked, not agglomerated and free of impurities. The fake black sugar is generally dry powder (yellow sand), caked or dissolved by moisture, with impurities.
2. Smell
High quality black sugar has strong sucrose flavor; Inferior black sugar has the taste of wine, acidity or other foreign bad smell. At the same time, real black sugar has a faint taste similar to Chinese herbal medicine, which is not the taste of dyes.
3. Taste
Take a little black sugar and taste it with your tongue, and then prepare 10% black sugar aqueous solution for taste. The high-quality black sugar tastes sweet and fresh, with slight molasses taste. The low-quality black sugar has burnt bitterness or wine taste, sour taste or other foreign odor. The real black sugar looks more sticky than the fake black sugar. It is together in your mouth, and the fake one feels scattered in your mouth.
4. Rub with your hands
Take a little black sugar and rub it in your hand. The dyed black sugar will fade as soon as it is rubbed, and the genuine black sugar will not fade.
5. Dissolved water
The aqueous solution of high-quality black sugar is clear, without precipitation and suspended solids. The low-quality black sugar dissolves flowing brine and has impurities. Sediment or suspended solids can be seen in the sugar aqueous solution.
Whether it is black sugar, yellow sugar, white sugar or rock sugar, the initial refining method is the same. The reason why it will become sugar of different colors and types is that the degree of final refining and decolorization is different. The higher the degree of refinement, the whiter the color and the higher the purity, but the sweetness will not increase because of the high purity.
