Our cooking plan: The higher ratio of corn syrup to sugar is, the harder the sugar glass is.

Introduction and reasons: Introduction: Sugar glass is a transparent but brittle sugar sheet that looks like glass, which is made by dissolving sugar in water, adding corn syrup (major ingredient: glucose), then heating it to “hard crack” (146 - 154 Celsius degree) that makes 99% sugar concentration. This process inspired us to research for the factors affecting the hardness of sugar glass. Reasons: Sugar glass has an amorphous structure instead of crystalline structure. It is formed by sucrose molecule, that is a glucose molecule joined to a fructose molecule. When we add more glucose, it bonds well with the sucrose in the solutions ...
