TEMPERATURE

Different sugar has different value of initial caramelisation temperature, due to the difference in molecular structure and size. Generally, monosaccharides have lower initial temperature than disaccharides because of simpler structure and lesser intermolecular bonds.

Here's an overview of temperature for different sugars found in food:

Lactose

Maltose

Glucose

Sucrose

Galactose

Fructose
