Sugar production primarily involves extracting sugar from plants, mainly from sugarcane and sugar beets. The process begins with harvesting the plants, which are then crushed to release their juice. This juice is purified and concentrated through boiling, resulting in a thick syrup. Next, the syrup undergoes crystallization, where sugar crystals form and are separated from the remaining liquid. The crystals are then washed and dried to produce the final product, which is refined to achieve the desired purity and color. This process transforms raw plant materials into the sugar commonly used in food and beverages.
