Caramel is a food which has a color from beige to dark brown and a sweet toasted flavour, derived from the caramelization of sugar. Caramel is used to flavor candy, as well as soft drinks such as Coca-Cola.
Caramel is also a commonly used food coloring, with the E number E150.
Caramel can be made from sugar by heating it slowly to around 170°C/340°F. (The particular temperature depends on the sugar. As the sugar melts and approaches this temperature, the molecules break down into other volatile compounds that give it the characteristic caramel color and flavors. There are also many other ways of making caramel.
Various candies, confections, and desserts are made with caramel: caramel apples, barley sugar, caramel with nuts (such as praline, nougat, or brittle), and caramel with custard (such as crème caramel or crème brûlée).
