Summary
There are many components in foods that crystallize, either partially or completely (Hartel 2001). Most important are sugars (i.e., sucrose, lactose, glucose, and fructose), ice, lipids and starches, although crystallization of salts, sugar alcohols, organic acids, proteins, and emulsifiers may be important in certain applications. Crystallization in the food industry differs to some extent from that in other fields in that, for the most part, the crystals form an integral part of the food. Although separation of crystals is important in certain food applications, crystalline structures within the food itself often define the characteristics of that product.
