Biochem/physiol Actions

Sucrose, a non-reducing disaccharide is abundantly present in photosynthetic organisms including plants.[4] It is the main constituent of molasses. Sucrose is used in food industry as liquid sugar. It is also a component of foodstuffs and beverages.[5] In higher plants, sucrose participates in growth and development. It is an important human macronutrient. Sucrose is used in foods as a sweetening agent.[4]
