Which is a slow cooking process that begins around 320°F, and removes water from a
sugar and breaks down the sugar into complex polymers with a sweet, nutty, or bitter
taste and thus produces a golden-brown to dark brown color?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Caramelisation.
- Caramelization is what happens to pure sugar when it reaches 338° F.
- A few tablespoons of sugar put in a pan and heated will eventually melt and, at 338° F, start to turn brown. At this temperature, the sugar compounds begin to break down and new compounds form.
