Best Answer

Sugar is small crystal powder, thus each sugar crystal has large surface area which causes rapid reaction in presence of catalyst. This reaction produces a lot of heat, as a whole, that it causes sugar to burn.

What color is melted sugar?

Melted sugar starts out as clear and colorless when it first liquefies. As it continues to cook and reaches higher temperatures, it progresses through various stages of caramelization, where the sugar begins to take on a range of brown hues. It can go from a light golden color to a deep amber, depending on how long it is cooked. If melted sugar is heated too long, it will eventually become dark brown and can burn, resulting in a bitter taste.
