RE: Caramel Color - An 80 Year Old Tradition
You say several times you thought 'caramel color' had something to do with caramel candy... you where exactly right. Sugar is a carbohydrate, so your defintion:
Caramel Color: def. Water soluble food coloring made by heat treatment of carbohydrates in the presence of acids, alkalis or salts known as Caramelization.
is the same thing as how you create caramel candy; the coloring used in cola is just a more complete process, and they don't add butter and cream :)
Hey I appreciate that Matt, thank you. The more I pay attention, the more I realize the answers have been right in front of me the whole time. So you’re saying ‘candy’ is created with the same heat that causes both of those cancer causing things... “got it!”
Thanks for stopping by @mattlovell, I appreciate the correction!
