A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

Maple syrup is our national sugar. We use it in desserts just as much as in main courses for that delicious sweet-salty combination. Sometimes, when sitting in the fridge, syrup will crystallize. Here ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

Here’s a sneak peek into the sweet secrets of caramel making from two Gramercy Tavern greats at the 2024 Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. Crystallization is more common in wet caramels, which are made by ...

The project represents another application of SED's integrated process engineering approach in the sugar sector, combining ...

A closeup image of a spoonful of sugar above a bowlful of sugar. Researchers found that crystals of simple sugar molecules—the building blocks of familiar sugars—can convert mechanical stress to ...

Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...
