How are cotton candy made?

Cotton candy is made of sugar. Pour sugar into a cotton candy machine to make shredded sugar, and then wrap the shredded sugar with a stick.

1: Normal boiling method can be used when the proportion of sugar in raw materials is high and the proportion of invert sugar and starch syrup is low. The boiling temperature is about 105℃, and the sugar solution is mixed with gelatin when it is cooled to 60℃. ?

2. Semi-boiling method, when the proportion of sugar in raw materials is low and the proportion of starch sugar or invert sugar is high, the heating temperature can be 80 degrees, and the mixing temperature with gelatin is about 60 degrees. ?

3. Low temperature processing method, when the sugar content in raw materials is extremely low, it is not necessary to dissolve sugar at high temperature, which can reduce the waiting time for cooling and mixing with gelatin.

Cotton candy machines on the market can be roughly divided into two categories.

One of them is the well-known "drawing" cotton candy machine, which can make cotton candy silk into 5- 13 cm wide colored tape and pull the silk out of the pot for 3- 10 m, just like an artistic performance. However, because the candy filaments produced by this cotton candy machine can't be shaped, most cotton candy sellers make candy filaments into relatively simple cotton candy balls.

The price of this cotton candy machine ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. The better the "drawing" cotton candy machine is, the longer and wider the drawn silk is, and it is not easy to break.

The other is the "artistic pattern" cotton candy machine, which can make cotton candy silk into flowers of various shapes through exquisite craftsmanship, colorful and very beautiful. This cotton candy machine is specially used to make cotton candy in various shapes, such as umbrellas, hats, gourds and so on.

This kind of cotton candy machine is generally expensive, and the price of cotton candy machine that can make patterns on the market is about 3800 yuan. This kind of cotton candy machine is not common in the market because of its high technical content and strong professionalism.
