caramal sweetner

Product Description

Caramel is a medium to dark-orange confectionery product made by heating a variety of sugars. It can be used as a flavoring in puddings and desserts, as a filling in bonbons, or as a topping for ice cream and custard.

The process of caramelization consists of heating sugar slowly to around 170 C (340 F). As the sugar heats, the molecules break down and re-form into compounds with a characteristic color and flavor.

A variety of candies, desserts, toppings, and confections are made with caramel: brittles, nougats, pralines, flan, cr¨me br»le, cr¨me caramel, and caramel apples. Ice creams sometimes are flavored with or contain swirls of caramel.[3
