Question

“Crude” sugar can be used for edible purposes.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in an interview for job.

This intriguing question originated from Technical Operations topic in chapter Hydrolysis of Unit Processes

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) False

The best I can explain: Such so-called “crude” sugars are not generally used directly for edible purposes but find utility as fermentation substrates, as a base for the manufacture of caramel colour, in the finishing of leather, and in the manufacture of viscose rayon.
