The manufacturing process and components of 12 raw sugars (Kagoshima: 8, Okinawa: 4) from the Nansei Islands were investigated.
The Okinawa's raw sugar contains more ash than that from the Kagoshima one that is a statistically significant difference.
Based on the component contents, the raw sugar has a negative proportional relationship between water and sugar, and between fractose, glucose, kestose and sucrose, but has a proportional relationship between ash and potassium.
