Title: Studies on chinese rock sugar: Analysis and taste
Abstract: Abstract The principles of Chinese dietetic and Chinese medicine may seem vague, archaic and superstitious to anyone who is unacquainted with Chinese culture. The preference for rock sugar or bing tang over ordinary sugar in certain Chinese dishes is well known. The composition and taste of several samples of rock sugar manufactured in China and in Singapore have been investigated in a search for clues to explain widespread belief among the Chinese that it is nutritionally superior to ordinary sugar and tastes better. There appears to be very little difference between the proximate composition and that of refined sugar. Taste panel tests also showed no significant difference in the sweetness and the quality of taste from those of refined sugar.
