The production process of marshmallows

The rapid cooling leaves no time for the sucrose molecules to align neatly, so the large, fluffy cotton candy in the children's hands is no longer a crystal but instead composed of countless glass-like sugar strands. To put it in slightly more technical terms, the crystalline structure of sucrose has been disrupted by the cotton candy machine; the arrangement of sucrose molecules is no longer orderly but rather chaotic. This structural change can be detected by melting point tests. Sucrose molecules have a specific melting point, and when heated to melting, the temperature remains constant; whereas cotton candy threads do not have a specific melting point, and the temperature gradually increases during melting.
