Red caramel production method:

(1) Normal pressure method

That is, the production method of open pot. Generally, a separator with an opening on a heat exchanger is used to heat the sugar to a certain temperature under normal pressure, add ammonia water, and continue heating to the end point. At present, most domestic production plants use a similar method.

However, the temperature of the atmospheric pressure method is difficult to control, the quality is unstable, the viscosity is high, and the application is inconvenient. This method is not suitable for large-scale industrial production. However, this method is also used in some foreign varieties.

(2) Pressure method

This method places the sugar in a reaction pot with a stirrer and heats it with steam (also heated with an oil bath) to a certain temperature. Then add different technical additives and keep it warm for a certain period of time. After reaching the end point, the material is discharged, filtered and quickly cooled to 38°C. Different technical additives, different temperatures, different holding times, and different PH values.

Very different products can be obtained, and these process parameters are highly confidential technologies. At present, many high-quality caramels abroad are produced using the pressurization method. China has only begun to learn this method in recent years, but there are not many units that can actually produce it in large quantities, especially if they cannot maintain the consistency and high quality of the product.
