I have a food product, 3 bean salad, that has too sweet of a taste. Is there a way to neutralize the sugar through a chemical reaction. It would need a way to extract the result.

Short answer: no.

Not really. Drain the salad! You could add any missing ingredients other than the sugar, if desired. Sugar does not seem to be something you "neutralize".

Consider fermenting the product with brewer's yeast. By eliminating air from the reaction, the yeast will consume sugar and produce a preservative called ethanol.

Alternatively;
Ferment the product with an acetic acid bacteria (AAB) in the presence of oxygen.
That will convert sugar and ethanol into a preservative commonly called vinegar.

Harvest your first AAB culture from fallen ripe fruit.
