Sugar comes in many varieties
Sugar is far from being a single product – it comes in numerous different forms. Presses shape the various sugar cube varieties such as standard sugar cubes, espresso sugar cubes, bridge sugar and sugar cones. Milling produces icing sugar, baking sugar and powdered sugar. Caster sugar is a particularly free-flowing variety of icing sugar which doesn’t form clumps every when used on warm bakery products. Besides sugar, gelling sugar also contains apple pectin and citric acid. Syrup sugar consists of fine crystallised sugar and citric acid. In order to prevent gelling, pectinase is added to the syrup sugar for the production of syrups based on berries and stone fruit. White and brown rock sugar are made from a top-quality sugar solution which crystallises slowly. Brown sugar is crystallised sugar to which sugar cane syrup has been added. Fructose plays a role in calorie-reduced nutrition. Glucose is a particularly rapid source of energy.

MAXIMUM COMMODITY
UTILISATION
Getting the most out of sugar. Various by-products are also processed rather than simply being disposed of. At AGRANA, we practice a sustainable business cycle. We manage to use nearly 100 % of the agricultural commodities involved in sugar production.
An example of this is molasses, the syrup extracted during the last crystallisation process. Molasses contains non- crystallised sugar (6 to 9 % of the sugar contained in sugar beet) as well as the soluble non-sugars found in the sugar beet. Molasses is a valuable product which is processed to make baking yeast and animal feed as well as being used to make alcohol. The sugar beet cosettes left over in the extraction tower are also processed further. After being mechanically pressed and molasses added, the cosettes are dried, pressed to form pellets and sold as animal feed.
THE international BRAND CONCEPT
The same top-level brand concept is also used in other countries: Slovakia uses Korunný Cukor, in the Czech Republic, its Korunní Cukr, Hungary relies on Koronás Cukor, Romania is familiar with Mărgăritar Zahăr and Bulgaria’s supermarket shelves are full of Zahira. Our brand concept is clear: Thanks to their common origin, the country-specific brands are immediately recognisable at an international level yet also tailored to local markets. As a result, we have created a market presence in the countries Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria which is unique in the sugar industry.
AGRANA Zucker GmbH acts as a holding company for all of the subsidiaries in the Sugar segment and, as such, is responsible for their coordination and management.
