SUCROSE is a reducing agent. Can react explosively with oxidizing agents such as chlorates and perchlorates. Is hydrolyzed by dilute acids and by invertase (a yeast enzyme) (NTP, 1992). Chars rapidly and exothermically when mixed with concentrated sulfuric acid.

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water (USCG, 1999)

Use water spray, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Fresh air, rest.

Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. If symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop, immediately transport the victim to a hospital.

(General first aid procedures)

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you spill this chemical, you should dampen the solid spill material with water, then transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with water to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash all contaminated surfaces with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion.

Sugar cane contains from 15-20% and sugar beet from 10-17% sucrose

The quantity of sucrose synthesized by all plants on earth is estimated to be 150X10+9 t/a.

Liquid medicines, particularly those intended for children, often formulated as syrups, usually based on sucrose. Total sugar content may be up to 80% (w/v). Complicated diabetes management. Increased dental caries especially in chronically sick children (eg, asthmatics or epileptics) who frequently take liquid medicine.

Sucrose is reported to be capable of producing dermatoses in bakers, candy makers, and related occupations. It is well established that uncontrolled glucose conc in maternal blood are associated with elevated embryonic and fetal death and increased neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Construction

.alpha.-D-Glucopyranoside, .beta.-D-fructofuranosyl: ACTIVE

CARBOHYDRATE (QV) PRODUCT OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS COMPRISED OF 1, 2, OR MORE SACCHAROSE GROUPS. ... SUGAR IS IMPORTANT SOURCE OF METABOLIC ENERGY IN FOODS, & ITS FORMATION IN PLANTS IS ESSENTIAL FACTOR IN LIFE PROCESS.

Sucrose is the most important industrial sugar

Sucrose was first synthesized enzymatically in the laboratory from potassium D-glucosyl-1-phosphate and D-fructose. The first chemical synthesis was accomplished by reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-alpha-D-glucopyranose with 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-fructofuranose

Traditionally, the standard /sweetening agent/ is sucrose, both in terms of quality of taste and taste profile
