Sweetness: Sugar Types and Caramelisation Characters

The Flavour Thesaurus distinguishes between sweetness sources — not just by degree but by character. The sweetness of honey is categorically different from white sugar; both are different from the sweetness of palm sugar, maple syrup, or mirin. Each brings specific aromatic compounds alongside the sweet sensation that determine compatibility with other flavours.

Overview

A framework for selecting sweetness sources based on their specific flavour character beyond pure sweetness.
