Evaporated Cane Juice Sugar

Evaporated cane juice sugar is a sweetener made from sugarcane juice. The juice is heated and filtered to remove impurities, then evaporated to crystallize the sugar. It is often minimally processed, retaining some of the natural molasses from the sugarcane.

Manufacturers use it as a sweetener in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, cereals, and beverages. It provides sweetness and contributes to the texture and browning of products.

Evaporated cane juice sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories and excessive intake can contribute to health issues such as weight gain and dental cavities. The WHO has stated that added sugars should be reduced in the diet. JECFA has evaluated sucrose, the primary component of evaporated cane juice sugar, and set an acceptable daily intake.
