NOTE
-
In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated :
“sugar” is used in its non-scientific meaning and refers to sucrose, also called “table sugar” or saccharose”, a white crystalline disaccharide;

“sugar juices” are solutions of sugar, essentially comprising sucrose, which are derived from different plants, e.g. beet, cane or maple;

“syrups” are highly concentrated sugar juices.
