Based on this background information, the inhibition of sugar
crystallization was investigated, focusing on additives that exert
high crystallization inhibitory effects when present at low concentrations.
On the other hand, the findings indicate that the pre-heat
treatment of sucrose crystals also eliminated the occurrence of the
crystallization of the heat-treated sucrose. Hence, the appropriate
heating conditions for preventing sugar crystallization without
any lowering the glass transition temperature was investigated.
Finally, the protein stabilizing effects of ‘‘hard-to-crystallize’’
amorphous sugar matrices were compared.
