Brown sugar is a sweetener commonly used in diverse applications, such as baking, cooking, and beverages. It is manufactured through the process of sugar refining that retains some of the natural molasses content in sugarcane or sugar beet. The characteristic brown color and slightly moist texture of brown sugar result from molasses, imparting a distinctive caramel-like flavor and aroma. To produce brown sugar, sugar cane or sugar beet juice is extracted and processed to remove impurities. During this refining process, some molasses is retained or added back into the sugar, giving it its brown color and unique taste. The amount of molasses retained or added determines whether the brown sugar is light or dark. It is commonly used in baking recipes for cookies, cakes, and muffins, as well as in sauces, glazes, and marinades. In beverages such as coffee and tea, brown sugar can add a pleasant sweetness and depth of flavor. Brown sugar is also known for its ability to retain moisture, which can enhance the texture and moistness of baked goods. Since it possesses an appealing flavor profile, brown sugar finds extensive applications in preparing delectable desserts and adding a touch of sweetness to a wide range of savory dishes across the globe.
