Sucrose is simply the chemical name for sugar, the simple carbohydrate we know and love that is produced naturally in all plants, including fruits, vegetables and even nuts.

When salt or sugar (a solute) is combined with water or ice (a solvent) and is evenly distributed, the freezing point is lowered.
