Dear Australia: Sugar (in this case sucrose as distinct from glucose, fructose, dextrose, lactose mannose etc) has the chemical formula C22-H22-O11 and this is the form of all sucrose. The miniscule quantities of colouring in brown sucrose result in it being rather like white sucrose. The human palette may taste a few trace elements in brown sugar, (mainly treacle) but I suspect there are few significant differences between brown and white. Remember - scientia omnia vincit
