In the case of the caramelization of sucrose three main product groups are formed: a dehydration product, caramelan C12H18O9; and two polymers, carmelen C36H50O25 and caramelin The average molecular formula for caramelin C125H188O80.
Caramelization Products:
2C12H22O11 = 4H20 C24H36O18 Caramelan
3C12H22O11 = 8H20 C36H50O25 Caramelen
Continued heating yields caramelin C125H188O80
