Caramel manufacturing sources

Caramel is unintentionally generated in burnt carbohydrate foods (rice, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc.) and molasses (Kowkabany et al., 1953) it is the source of maple flavor and color in the concentration of maple sap to maple syrup (Stinson and Willits, 1965). In industrial manufacturing, the intended application is taken into account, because reaction conditions help determine the properties of the pyrolysate, e.g., its tinctorial value, water solubility, and alcohol stability. Tinctorial value refers to the absorbance at 560 nm of a 0.1-wt/vol% solution in a 1-cm cell. Tinctorial strength increases with acidity, temperature, and duration of heating. Caramel manufactured above pH 6.3 is biologically unstable and much below pH 3.1, it is a resin. 

Use Sweetener in foods and soft drinks, manufacture of syrups, source of invert sugar, confectionery, preserves and jams, demulcent, pharmaceutical products, caramel, chemical intermediate for detergents, emulsifying agents, and other sucrose derivatives. 

Sucrose and its hydrolysis products (D-glucose and D-fhictose) have been prime sources for the manufacture of caramel - - - despite the fact that reducing sugars are caramelized more readily than nonreducing sugars. The chromatographically controlled caramelization of sucrose has revealed that.
