Sucrose, which accounts for about 6% of soybean weight, is the main raw material of coking sugar. Sucrose is about 130 ℃-170 ℃. Sucrose is pyrolyzed into low molecular weight monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, and releases aroma and carbon dioxide. But with the furnace temperature rising to more than 180 ℃, these molecular weight monosaccharides continue to aggregate and concentrate to form darker medium molecular weight caramel components with caramel aroma. Caramelization has been carried out to a little over 200 ℃, is coming to an end, and finally completely carbonized.

Therefore, as the temperature increases, caramelization produces different compounds with different odors, which is a very complex chemical reaction that scientists do not fully understand. Basically, the aroma of caramelization is the most attractive between medium baking and second explosion, which is why the baking degree of Agtorn#55 cup test is based on the degree of caramelization of SCAA cup. Once in the deep baking after the second explosion, the flavor is dominated by the more elusive drying effect.
