I don't understand the question. The term "100 proof" is generally used in describing an alcoholic beverage that is 50% alcohol. I don't think liquid sugar has any alcohol in it, unless it has been fermented in some way. |

You can make sugar syrup by adding some water ot dry sugar and heating and stirring it until all the sugar dissolves. |

acording to wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose, the melting point of sugar is 146-150 degrees C. It should be possible (under careful laboratory conditions) to take pure Glucose crystals and heat them up to the required temperature. You will have a 100% pure liquid sugar, no contamination of any kind. Although, you may have to heat it up in a vacuum/non-oxygen environment; I don't know what temperature that sugar burns at, but if you take away the O2, the sugar will be unable to burn. Unless you wanted to know about a sugar solution (involving water), then you're on your own. |

You can melt sugar quite easily in a dry pan in your kitchen. If you heat it slowly you'll see it melting - like ice melts to water, only, of course at a higher temperature. When/if some of it browns, you get caramel. If you try it at home, be careful not to add water during your 'experiment': melted sugar has a much higher temperature than the boiling point of water, and small amounts of water will instantly & explosively vapourise. Larger amounts of water, well, then we're talking cooking :-) http://www.deliaonline.com/cookery-school/how-to/how-to-make-caramel,53,AR.html |
