ASR Group has mastered the sophisticated art of producing
large sugar crystals.
It requires skill, expertise and considerably more time
than regular sugar. The development of larger crystals is a
time-based function as the rate of crystallization can’t be
significantly reduced or altered.

Understanding how large sugar crystals are made:

A thick liquor that is close to saturation density is left after evaporation.
In the crystallization process, the syrup is boiled at low temperatures under vacuum where
small seed crystals are introduced and developed into larger crystals. Finished material
discharging from the pan fillmass or massecuite.
The syrup entering each vacuum pan is concentrated to a point above saturation, and a small
amount of seed crystals are introduced either via powdered sugar or a seed slurry. Once the
crystals have developed sufficiently, additional liquor is fed to the pan allowing the crystals
to continue growing in size.
Crystallization is a batch process. When a strike (a full pan) is completed, the vacuum pan is
emptied and cleaned and another pan (strike) is started.
The more time the material spends in the vacuum pan, the larger the mean (average) particle size.

Large crystals which are Used mainly for decorating Adds extra texture and
fairly resistant to heat and available in a rainbow crunch to cookies and
of colors other baked goods

Benefits of Large Sugar Crystals vs. Regular Sugar

The quality of these large sugar crystals makes it perfect to provide a finishing touch
for cookies, sweet breads, muffins, biscuits, bagels, scones or any kind of sweet baked
goods for a great crunchy texture.

These large crystals won’t dissolve in baked goods maintaining their shape, and
providing random pockets of crunchy sweetness to sweet breads, waffles and cookies.

To provide an elegant and sparkling touch, large sugar crystals can be sprinkled on
top of baked goods before exposed to the heat, since they won’t melt or dissolve. Large
sugar crystals are also available in beautiful vibrant colors to seasonally customize
your goods according to holidays and sports events

What Defines a Large Grain?

Grain Size – Granulation Analysis
• US Screens define the mesh which defines the micron and mm grain
size but only to a certain extent, as the size of the wires used on the screens vary.
• The number of openings is the mesh size. An 80-mesh screen = 80 openings
• As the mesh number increases, the size of the openings decreases.
• Beyond 400 mesh, particle size can only be defined in microns.
This is close to 10x -> 40 microns or 0.4 mm.

Color

The higher the liquor color feeding the vacuum pan, the higher
the color of the final product.

The larger the final crystal the lower the color, as the
colorants reside primarily in a thin film surrounding
each crystal, and there is less surface area in a kilogram
of larger grain versus smaller.

The power of color in product development

In today’s visually centric world, color is as important, if not more important than
flavor. Coloring has been used to enhance food and beverage appearance for more than
2,000 years, dating back to when vintners manipulated grape skins and other fruits to
achieve desirable colors in wine.

Colors in food perform many functions. They help correct for color loss due to exposure
to light, air, extreme temperatures, moisture and storage conditions. They also assist
with correcting natural color variations and may enhance colors that occur naturally in
foods. Lastly, they provide color to colorless foods, making these foods more attractive.

Sugar will make your applications be irresistible!

Sugar will extend the shelf life and texture of your applications.
It also acts as a protective coat against moisture.

Sugar is an affordable solution.
