1. Basic Info
Name: Sucrose
Alias: Saccharose, table sugar
CAS No.: 57-50-1
Molecular Formula: C12H22O11
Molecular Weight: 342.30
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent monoclinic crystal or white crystalline powder
- Odor & Taste: Odorless, pure sweet taste
- Solubility: Easily soluble in water; slightly soluble in methanol; insoluble in ethanol, acetone, ether, oils
- Melting characteristic: Decomposes and caramelizes around 186 ℃, no distinct melting point
- Density (20℃): 1.587 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Slightly hygroscopic under high humidity, easy to agglomerate when damp
- Optical property: Strong dextrorotation, standard specific rotation [α]?2? = +66.5°
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Disaccharide formed by α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose linked via α,β-1,2 glycosidic bond; no free aldehyde/ketone group, non-reducing sugar
- Hydrolysis reaction: Under acid catalysis or invertase, hydrolyzes into glucose + fructose (invert sugar)
- Thermal degradation: Heating above 160 ℃ caramelizes to produce caramel pigments and flavor substances; over 200 ℃ decomposes into carbon, aldehydes and small organics
- Maillard reaction: Reacts with amino compounds under heating to generate brown flavor substances
- Esterification: Multiple hydroxyl groups can react with acids to form sucrose esters (food emulsifiers)
- Acid-base stability: Stable in neutral environment; rapidly hydrolyzed in strong acid; decomposed by concentrated strong alkali at high temperature
- Compatibility: Compatible with most food raw materials, aqueous solutions; incompatible with concentrated mineral acid, strong oxidants
3. Main Application Fields
