Raw cane sugar has a richer flavour; the amount of sugar for preparation of a dish will be lesser if raw sugar is used instead of refined, making it reliable low-sugar option. The global raw sugar market is expected to rise at a 4.6% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2032, as conducted by industry and market research on raw sugar.

Introduction
Raw sugar is one of the products formed from sugarcane. It is made
when the juice extracted from sugarcane is extracted,
heated,
clarified and then crystallized once.
The crystallized sugar is centrifuged, giving rise to a product with
yellowish-brown crystals.
They have a high moisture content (0.5-5.0%), while sucrose content
ranges from 80%-90%.
contd..
The other constituents are glucose, fructose (2-5%), and ash (1-3%).
Raw sugar has a richer flavour; the amount of sugar for preparation
of a dish will be lesser if raw sugar is used instead of refined, making
it a reliable low-sugar option.
The types of raw sugar available in the market are- Demerara,
Muscovado, Turbinado and Barbados classes are dictated by crystal
size and colour [1].

The global raw sugar market
is expected to rise at
a 4.6%
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2032. [2]. The
causes for the anticipated growth are discussed below-
a.Increased production- In countries like Brazil, Thailand and
China caused the growth of the market [3].
b.Consumers’ awareness – of the ill effects of refined sugar,
like causation of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type-2
diabetes, is a factor for a surge in demand for raw cane sugar.
contd..
Since demerara sugar contains magnesium, manganese, cobalt, chromium and
zinc, it is increasingly consumed by health-conscious individuals [4].
c. Increased demand among food manufacturers- Since it contains no saturated fats,
the demand for raw cane sugar is rising among food manufacturers. Food manufacturers
are aware of the consumers’ preference for raw cane sugar over refined sugar and
therefore are using raw sugar instead in confectioneries and ot
