Inulins caramels

Thermal activation of sucrose and inulin in the presence of citric acid,93 and sucrose in the presence of acetic94 acid, yields caramels containing, among other products, di-D-fructose dianhydrides and glycosylated difructose dianhydrides, as described in Section V.6). Similarly, the thermal treatment of 6-0-ot-D-glu-copyranosyl-D-fructofuranose (palatinose) in the presence of citric acid87 has been shown to produce appreciable proportions of glucosylated di-D-fructose dianhydrides.
