What is another name for sucrose?

Sucrose is commonly known as table sugar. It is a disaccharide composed of two simpler sugars: glucose and fructose. This particular terminology is widely used in cooking, baking, and food labeling, where sucrose is the sugar most people think of when referring to "sugar" in everyday conversations.

On the other hand, alternatives like fruit sugar refer specifically to fructose, which is primarily found in fruits and is a component of sucrose but not synonymous with it. Milk sugar, or lactose, is another different sugar found in milk products, and honey is a natural sweetener that contains both fructose and glucose but does not identify sucrose directly. Each of these alternatives illustrates the diversity of sugars in the food supply, but "table sugar" is the most recognized and direct synonym for sucrose.
