Depending on its nature and intended effect, a glaze may be applied before or after cooking. It may be either sweet or savory ; typical glazes include brushed egg whites, some types of icing, and jam, and may or may not include butter, sugar, milk, oil, and fruit or fruit juice.

Brown sugar

Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content, or produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar. Brown sugar is 98% carbohydrates, containing no dietary fiber or fat, and negligible protein and micronutrient content.

Sugar

Sugar is a class of sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose, fructose and galactose. Compound sugars, also called disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules made of two bonded monosaccharides; common examples are sucrose, lactose and maltose. White sugar is almost pure sucrose. During digestion, compound sugars are hydrolysed into simple sugars.
