Charring action of sulphuric acid:
Sulphuric acid is strong dehydrating agent which means that it can abstract water from the substances with which it reacts.
So when sulphuric acid is added to carbohydrates and sugar, it removes hydrogen and oxygen from them. And just leaving behind carbon which looks like burnt sugar that is brown in colour.
Reaction:
C6H22O11 6C + 11H2O
