The refining process completely removes the molasses to lớn give the white sugar, sucrose. It has a purity higher kêu ca 99.7%.^[1] Its molecular formula is C

₁₁. White sugars produced from sugar cane and sugar beet are chemically indistinguishable: it is possible, however, to lớn identify its origin through a carbon-13 analysis.^[1]

White sugar (and some brown sugar) produced from sugar cane may be refined using bone char by a few sugar cane refiners.^[2] For this reason white sugar from sugar cane may not be vegan. Beet sugar has never been processed with bone char and is vegan.^[3]

From a chemical and nutritional point of view, white sugar does not contain—in comparison to lớn brown sugar—some minerals (such as calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium) present in small quantities in molasses.^[4]^[5]^[6] The only detectable differences are, therefore, the white color and the less intense flavor.^[6]
