Sucrose, also known as table sugar or saccharose, is a disaccharide. Sucrose is made from glucose combined with fructose. Pure sucrose is most often prepared as a fine, colorless, odorless crystalline powder with a pleasing, sweet taste. Large crystals are sometimes precipitated from water solutions of sucrose onto a string (or other nucleation surface) to form rock candy, a confection. Sucrose melts and decomposes at 186°C to form caramel, and when burnt produces carbon dioxide and water. To find out about a no calorie natural sugar alternative, read about stevia, or you may purchase stevia supplement. An excellent product is Stevia Clear Liquid. Three or four drops in coffee or tea does the trick.
