Thoroughly toasted bread is quite well dextrinized. It is more easily
digested, has a sweeter taste than ordinary bread, and in some cases,
is more desirable.
_Sugar Group_
_Cane sugar_ is probably the most important member of the sugar
groups. It is obtained from the sugar cane and the sugar beet, the two
forms being identical chemically. It can be obtained in a high state
of purity, often up to ninety-nine and eight tenths per cent. The
English-speaking races use the largest amount of this sugar, in some
countries averaging as high as eighty-five pounds per capita a year.
Cane sugar is white, crystalline, soluble in water, and has a very
sweet taste.
