Embodiments of the third, alternate third, further alternate third and fourth aspects of the invention The sugar in the third, alternate third, further alternate third and fourth aspects of the invention can be either amorphous or crystalline. The sugar optionally further comprises reducing sugars such as fructose and/or glucose. The sugar optionally has a maximum of 1 g polyphenols CE/1 00 g carbohydrate. The sugar optionally has about 0 to 0.5g/100g reducing sugars and a glucose based glycaemic index of less than 55. The polyphenols in the sugars of the invention are optionally polyphenols that are found endogenously in sugar cane. The polyphenols in the sugars of the invention may be synthetic or isolated from a plant, for example, sugar cane. Preferably, the polyphenols are isolated from sugar cane or a sugar cane derived product, such as a sugar processing waste stream. The polyphenols preferably include flavonoids. Preferably, the polyphenols include one or more of tricin, luteolin and apigenin. Alternatively, the polyphenols include tricin. Optionally, the sugar composition of the third or fourth aspect of the invention comprises about 20 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate to about 1 g CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate, about 20 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate to about 800 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate, about 20 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate to about 500 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate, about 30 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate to about 200 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate, or about 20 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate to about 100 mg CE polyphenols / 100 g carbohydrate. There are multiple options for the measurement of polyphenol content. One option is to measure milligrams catechin equivalents (CE). An alternative is to measure gallic acid equivalents (GAE). Amounts in mg CE/1 00 g can be converted to mg GAE/1 00 g by multiplying by 0.81 ie 60 mg CE/1 00g is 49 mg GAE/1 00g. The quantities of polyphenols can also be about 37 mg GAE/1 00 g to about 80 mg GAE/1 00 g, about 38 mg GAE/1 00 g to about 70 mg GAE/1 00 g, about 39 mg GAE/1 00 g to about 60 mg GAE/100 g, about 40 mg GAE/100 g to about 55 mg GAE/1 00 g or about 45 mg GAE/100 g to about 55 mg CE/1 00 g. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the polyphenol content is about 45 mg GAE / 100 g to about 55 mg GAE / 100 g. In preferred embodiments, the polyphenol content is about 50 mg GAE/1 00 g of the sugar. In these embodiments, the sugar composition is optionally very low glycaemic.
