The process of caramelization consists of heating sugar slowly to around 170 °C (338 °F). As the sugar heats, the molecules break down and re-form into compounds with a characteristic color and flavor. Caramelization is the removal of water from a sugar, proceeding to isomerization and polymerization of the sugars into various high-molecular-weight compounds. In modern recipes and in commercial production, glucose (from corn syrup or wheat) or inverted sugar is added to prevent crystallization, making up 10%–50% of the sugars by mass. “Wet caramels” made by heating sucrose and water instead of sucrose alone produce their own invert sugar due to thermal reaction, but not necessarily enough to prevent crystallization in traditional recipes.
The word “Caramel” comes from Late Latin calamellus ‘sugar cane’, a diminutive of calamus ‘reed, cane.’
