Sucrose, commonly known as sugar, has been used as a natural sweetening agent for almost 4000 years. It is isolated from sugarbeet beta vulgaris) in Europe and from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) in the tropics. Its total world production in 1994—1995 was 116 million metric tons. 

Glucose Isomeriza.tion, Enzymatic isomerization of glucose to fmctose provides a real alternative to sugar (sucrose) derived from sugarcane or sugarbeets. The commercial product obtained is known as high fmctose com symp (HECS). Two grades of the symp have become estabUshed on the world market, HECS-42 and HECS-55, which contain 42 and 55% fmctose on dry substance basis. These products account for over one-third of the caloric sweetener market ia the United States.

The production of sugar from sugarbeet requires approximately 200 kg of quicklime per tonne of sugar. The raw beet is washed and chopped and treated with hot water to extract the sugar. The sugar solution also contains dissolved, suspended and colloidal matter.
