    The sugar that is put in the dish to flavor. Sugar itself does not have a bactericidal effect, but it can help to regulate the growth of microorganisms. The main reason is that sugar can reduce the activity of water in the dish, so that those microorganisms attached to the dish do not get the water necessary to live and reproduce, and even make microbial cells dehydrated, and then in a physiologically dry state, although not killed, then the dish is less likely to spoil.
