... the research, published in the journal of agricultural and food chemistry and recently presented to the institute of food technologists, goes against years of belief that sugar melts ... in her ift presentation about the importance of the new discovery, lead researcher, professor shelly schmidt of the university of illinois, usa, told food scientists they could use the new findings to manipulate sugars and improve the product flavour and consistency ... “this discovery is important to food scientists and candy lovers because it will give them yummier caramel flavours and more tantalizing textures,” said schmidt ... food scientists will now be able to make more of the desirable flavours because they won't have to heat to a 'melting' temperature but can instead hold sugar over a low temperature for a longer period of time,” she added ... inconsistency schmidt and her team said that they didn't intend to turn such an established rule of food science on its head, but they began to suspect that something was amiss when they could not find a constant melting point for sucrose in work that they were doing
