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
