Carbohydrates

What are carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates: caramelisation

Caramelisation occurs by heating sugars at a high temperature to remove water. This produces a brown colour and a nutty flavour.

Carbohydrates: dextrinization

Dextrinization is the process involved when starchy foods go brown by dry heat (without water).

Carbohydrates: gelatinisation

Gelatinisation: thickening a liquid (sauce) by heating starch.
