Sucrose \Su"crose`\, n. [F. sucre sugar. See {Sugar}.] (Chem.) A common variety of sugar found in the juices of many plants, as the sugar cane, sorghum, sugar maple, beet root, etc. It is extracted as a sweet, white crystalline substance which is valuable as a food product, and, being antiputrescent, is largely used in the preservation of fruit. Called also {saccharose}, {cane sugar}, etc. By extension, any one of the class of isomeric substances (as lactose, maltose, etc.) of which sucrose proper is the type. Note: Sucrose proper is a dextrorotatory carbohydrate, {C12H22O11}. It does not reduce Fehling's solution, and though not directly fermentable, yet on standing with yeast it is changed by the diastase present to invert sugar (dextrose and levulose), which then breaks down to alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is also decomposed to invert sugar by heating with acids, whence it is also called a {disaccharate} | |

And in his time such a conqueror That greater was there none under the sun. --Chaucer. His misery was such that none of the bystanders could refrain from weeping. --Macaulay. Note: The indefinite article a or an never precedes such, but is placed between it and the noun to which it refers; as, such a man; such an honor. The indefinite adjective some, several, one, few, many, all, etc., precede such; as, one such book is enough; all such people ought to be avoided; few such ideas were then held. 2. Having the particular quality or character specified. That thou art happy, owe to God; That thou continuest such, owe to thyself. --Milton. 3. The same that; -- with as; as, this was the state of the kingdom at such time as the enemy landed. [bd][It] hath such senses as we have.[b8] --Shak. 4.

Temple sprung from a family which . . . long after his death produced so many eminent men, and formed such distinguished alliances, that, etc. --Macaulay. Such is used emphatically, without the correlative. Now will he be mocking: I shall have such a life. --Shak. Such was formerly used with numerals in the sense of times as much or as many; as, such ten, or ten times as many. {Such and such}, [or] {Such or such}, certain; some; -- used to represent the object indefinitely, as already particularized in one way or another, or as being of one kind or another.

Sucrose \Su"crose`\, n. [F. sucre sugar. See {Sugar}.] (Chem.) A common variety of sugar found in the juices of many plants, as the sugar cane, sorghum, sugar maple, beet root, etc. It is extracted as a sweet, white crystalline substance which is valuable as a food product, and, being antiputrescent, is largely used in the preservation of fruit. Called also {saccharose}, {cane sugar}, etc. By extension, any one of the class of isomeric substances (as lactose, maltose, etc.) of which sucrose proper is the type. Note: Sucrose proper is a dextrorotatory carbohydrate, {C12H22O11}. It does not reduce Fehling's solution, and though not directly fermentable, yet on standing with yeast it is changed by the diastase present to invert sugar (dextrose and levulose), which then breaks down to alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is also decomposed to invert sugar by heating with acids, whence it is also called a {disaccharate} | |

Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp. az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be] sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.] 1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance, of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the Note below. Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper, dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates. See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn the plane of polarization to the right or the left. They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet produced artificially belongs to this class. The sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act on polarized light. 2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous white crystalline substance having a sweet taste. 3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words. [Colloq.] {Acorn sugar}. See {Quercite}. {Cane sugar}, sugar made from the sugar cane; sucrose, or an isomeric sugar. See {Sucrose}. {Diabetes}, [or] {Diabetic}, {sugar} (Med. Chem.), a variety of sugar (probably grape sugar or dextrose) excreted in the urine in diabetes mellitus. {Fruit sugar}. See under {Fruit}, and {Fructose}. {Grape sugar}, a sirupy or white crystalline sugar (dextrose or glucose) found as a characteristic ingredient of ripe grapes, and also produced from many other sources. See {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}. {Invert sugar}. See under {Invert}. {Malt sugar}, a variety of sugar isomeric with sucrose, found in malt. See {Maltose}. {Manna sugar}, a substance found in manna, resembling, but distinct from, the sugars. See {Mannite}. {Milk sugar}, a variety of sugar characteristic of fresh milk, and isomeric with sucrose. See {Lactose}. {Muscle sugar}, a sweet white crystalline substance isomeric with, and formerly regarded to, the glucoses. It is found in the tissue of muscle, the heart, liver, etc. Called also {heart sugar}. See {Inosite}. {Pine sugar}. See {Pinite}. {Starch sugar} (Com. Chem.), a variety of dextrose made by the action of heat and acids on starch from corn, potatoes, etc.; -- called also {potato sugar}, {corn sugar}, and, inaccurately, {invert sugar}. See {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}. {Sugar barek}, one who refines sugar. {Sugar beet} (Bot.), a variety of beet ({Beta vulgaris}) with very large white roots, extensively grown, esp. in Europe, for the sugar obtained from them. {Sugar berry} (Bot.), the hackberry. {Sugar bird} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of small South American singing birds of the genera {C[d2]reba}, {Dacnis}, and allied genera belonging to the family {C[d2]rebid[91]}. They are allied to the honey eaters. {Sugar bush}. See {Sugar orchard}. {Sugar camp}, a place in or near a sugar orchard, where maple sugar is made. {Sugar candian}, sugar candy. [Obs.] {Sugar candy}, sugar clarified and concreted or crystallized; candy made from sugar. {Sugar cane} (Bot.), a tall perennial grass ({Saccharum officinarium}), with thick short-jointed stems. It has been cultivated for ages as the principal source of sugar. {Sugar loaf}. (a) A loaf or mass of refined sugar, usually in the form of a truncated cone. (b) A hat shaped like a sugar loaf. Why, do not or know you, grannam, and that sugar loaf? --J. Webster. {Sugar maple} (Bot.), the rock maple ({Acer saccharinum}). See {Maple}. {Sugar mill}, a machine for pressing out the juice of the sugar cane, usually consisting of three or more rollers, between which the cane is passed. {Sugar mite}. (Zo[94]l.) (a) A small mite ({Tyroglyphus sacchari}), often found in great numbers in unrefined sugar. (b) The lepisma. {Sugar of lead}. See {Sugar}, 2, above. {Sugar of milk}. See under {Milk}. {Sugar orchard}, a collection of maple trees selected and preserved for purpose of obtaining sugar from them; -- called also, sometimes, {sugar bush}. [U.S.] --Bartlett. {Sugar pine} (Bot.), an immense coniferous tree ({Pinus Lambertiana}) of California and Oregon, furnishing a soft and easily worked timber. The resinous exudation from the stumps, etc., has a sweetish taste, and has been used as a substitute for sugar. {Sugar squirrel} (Zo[94]l.), an Australian flying phalanger ({Belideus sciureus}), having a long bushy tail and a large parachute. It resembles a flying squirrel. See Illust. under {Phlanger}. {Sugar tongs}, small tongs, as of silver, used at table for taking lumps of sugar from a sugar bowl. {Sugar tree}. (Bot.)
