Sucrose and the Pescatarian Diet
Sucrose, or table sugar, is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is widely used as a sweetening agent in various food products. Sucrose is typically extracted and refined from sugar cane or sugar beets. The refining process can involve the use of bone char, a form of carbon made from animal bones, which is used to decolorize sugar. This aspect is significant for those following vegan or strict vegetarian diets, although many sugar manufacturers have shifted to alternative decolorization methods.
