Question
Which method is better for recovering sugar from sugar solution : evaporation or crystallisation ? Give reason
for your answer.

Crystallization is a better than evaporation for recovering sugar from sugar solution. During evaporation, sugar can get charred on heating. However, in crystallization, no such problem occurs and we can get pure crystals of sugar.
