This list of unrefined sweeteners includes all natural, unrefined, or low-processed sweeteners. Sweeteners are usually made from the fruit or sap of plants, but can also be made from any other part of the plant, or all of it. Some sweeteners are made from starch, with the use of enzymes. Sweeteners made by animals, especially insects, are put in their own section as they can come from more than one part of plants. ==From sap== The sap of some species is concentrated to make sweeteners, usually through drying or boiling. *Cane juice, syrup, molasses, and raw sugar, which has many regional and commercial names including demerara, jaggery, muscovado, panela, piloncillo, turbinado sugar, Florida Crystals and Sucanat, are all made from sugarcane (''Saccharum'' spp.). *Sweet sorghum syrup is made from the sugary juice extracted from the stalks of ''Sorghum'' spp., especially ''S. bicolor''. *Mexican or maize sugar can be made by boiling down the juice of green maize stalks. *Agave nectar is made from the sap of ''Agave'' spp., including tequila agave (''Agave tequilana''). *Birch syrup is made from the sap of Birch trees (''Betula'' spp.).〔 〕 *Maple syrup, taffy and sugar are made from the sap of tapped maple trees (''Acer'' spp.). *Palm sugar is made by tapping the flower stalk of various palms to collect the sap. The most important species for this is the Indian date palm (''Phoenix sylvestris''), but other species used include palmyra (''Borassus flabelliformis''), coconut (''Cocos nucifera''), toddy (''Caryota urens''), gomuti (''Arenga saccharifera''), and nipa (''Nypa fruticans'') palms. *The sweet resin of the Sugar Pine (''Pinus lambertiana'') was considered by John Muir to be better than maple sugar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of unrefined sweeteners」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
