The rates of progress of the nucleation front of sucrose glasses containing various proportions of dextrose, fructose or confectioner's glucose have been measured and considered in relation to their water contents. At high water contents samples containing dextrose had lower rates than samples containing the same amount of glucose syrup solids. It was also found that there was a value of the water content below which crystallization did not occur for samples prepared from glucose syrups, but not from samples prepared from dextrose or fructose.
The glass transition temperature for sucrose glasses containing added dextrose or confectioner's glucose (42% DE) and varying water content has been determined by differential thermal analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
