    Application of crystallization in the sugar industry
    (Elsevier, 2024) Karimidatsjerd, Atefeh; Zahedinia, Sayna; Konar, Nevzat; Toker, Omer Said; Palabiyik, Ibrahim
    In the realm of food science, sugars are pivotal for many food products, contributing not only to sweetness but also to specific textural qualities, macro- and micro-structure, flow and thermal behaviors, moisture affinity, etc. Sugar crystallization, an important process in sugar production, involves different steps such as supersaturation, nucleation, crystal growth, and transformation. This process is influenced by various factors, including temperature, supersaturation levels, impurities, and additives, all impacting the final crystal size, shape, and purity. In this chapter, the thermodynamics and kinetics of sugar crystallization, highlighting the importance of controlling parameters like cooling rates and seed crystal introduction, are discussed. Different measurement techniques for crystal size distribution, color, and moisture content are explored, emphasizing their role in quality control and process optimization. The impact of factors on sugar color and physical structure, taste, and storage stability of sugar is also discussed. Finally, the chapter explains future trends in sugar crystallization, including intelligent control systems, predictive modeling, and improved separation technologies, highlighting the continuous pursuit of enhanced efficiency, quality, and sustainability in sugar production. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
