Sucrose (cane sugar; beet sugar; saccharose) is a sugar comprising one molecule of glucose linked to a fructose molecule. It occurs widely in plants and is particularly abundant in sugar cane and sugar beet $(15-20 \%)$, from which it is extracted and refined for table sugar. If heated to $200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, sucrose becomes caramel. Sucrose is broken down into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose with the help of carbohydrate digesting enzyme, invertase, produced in the small intestine (duodenum).
