How to make caramel?
E150 caramel color is made by heating sugars (e.g., glucose syrup, sucrose, or dextrose) under controlled conditions, sometimes with food-grade acids/alkalis and, for some classes, ammonia and/or sulfites, to form brown coloring compounds. This is an industrial process distinct from making caramel candy at home.
How to make caramel sauce?
Caramel sauce is a kitchen recipe—cook sugar to a deep amber, then carefully whisk in cream and butter; it’s different from E150 caramel color. The additive is produced industrially by controlled heat treatment of sugars to make a coloring, not a sauce.
What is caramel made of?
E150 caramel color is made from carbohydrates (sugars) heated to form complex brown polymers; depending on the class (E150a–d), acids/alkalis, ammonia, and/or sulfites may be used during processing. It contains no dairy or butter unless added in a finished food.
How to pronounce caramel?
Both “KAR-uh-mel” and “KAR-mel” are widely accepted pronunciations.
