Based upon weight, brown cane sugar when it is fully refined can yield up to 70 percent white sugar, the degree depending on how much molasses remained in the sugar crystals. Light brown sugar usually contains about 3.5 percent molasses and dark brown sugar usually, contains approximately 6.5 percent molasses.
