What is the chemical reaction in sugar when making marshmallows?

Answer 1

First you add 50grams of sugar to a mixing bowl.

Then add 100grams of spice.

Finally add a pinch of "Everything Nice"

[NOTE] DO NOT ADD CHEMICAL X!! This will not create marshmallows but create super-human children!

Place the bowl over a low flame and wait until marshmallows form.

Answer 2

When making marshmallows, sugar undergoes a process called caramelization, where it is heated causing the sugar molecules to break down and recombine into new compounds that give marshmallows their characteristic flavor and color. This reaction involves the thermal decomposition of sugar molecules into various compounds like caramel, which gives marshmallows their sweet and rich taste.
