Sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose molecules. It is naturally found in many plants, with high concentrations in sugar cane and sugar beets, which are the primary sources for commercial sugar production. Sucrose is widely used as a sweetener in foods and beverages due to its pleasant taste and ability to enhance flavors. When consumed, sucrose is broken down by digestive enzymes into glucose and fructose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy. While sucrose provides a quick source of energy, excessive intake can contribute to health issues such as tooth decay, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
