The basic material for hard candy is granulated sugar, which accounts for 60% to 75% of hard candy. The problem of hard candy manufacturing is how to turn crystallized sugar into an amorphous solid. After the sugar is dissolved in water, it changes from a crystalline state to an amorphous state, which needs to be dehydrated and concentrated. When the pure sugar solution is dehydrated and concentrated, the final product is still a crystal. In order to obtain an amorphous and non-crystalline substance, it must be added. Substance, this substance can improve the solubility of granulated sugar solution, so that the granulated sugar solution does not crystallize when it is supersaturated. On the other hand, by increasing the viscosity of the sugar solution, the molecular motion of the granulated sugar solution to rearrange into a crystal form can also be slowed down.
