Hard Candy Chemistry!
Loading...
Uploaded by BytesizeScience on Oct 26, 2011
Richard Hartel, Ph.D., professor of food engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison boils a mixture of sugar, water and corn syrup at temperatures over 300 degrees Fahrenheit to produce hard candy. The video demonstrates how the molten liquid candy cools to form what from a technical standpoint actually is a glass. Unlike window glass made of silica, this tasty glass is made of sugar.

Great video, doc! Making candy is an interesting process that not enough people know about. Let us know if we can be of any assistance with your candy experiments!

@googolplexbyte Yeah, they should've used SI units.

Very interesting, but the editing is horrible and incredibly irritating.

Great video, interesting science. The tooth-chomping animation was distracting and annoying, though. Can't win 'em all?
