ISO/NP 6905 Crystal Rock candy-- Specifications and Test Methods

Scope

This International Standard specifies requirements and test method for physical, chemical and microbial properties, sampling, test method and marking of crystal rock candy types. This standard is used for all crystal rock candy types (simple, brown, saffron) produced to form of mono crystal or connected.

Purpose

The crystal rock candy is a crystallized sugar confection. Water (a solvent) dissolves sugar (a solute) to create what chemists call a solution. When making the crystal rock candy, the sugar-water solution is boiled over high heat. The heat increases the amount of sugar that the water can dissolve to create a super-saturated solution. Super-saturated solutions are unstable, so sugar crystals will come out of the solution and attach to the string or stick in the jar during stirring the crystal rock candy. This process is called crystallization. As the sugar in the solution precipitates, the crystal rock candy will grow, molecule by molecule.

Including lucrative markets in the world confectionary market is the reason why many countries increase production and exports of sweets and chocolates turned.

The crystal rock candy is one of the candies that can work towards improving the current state of production and marketing and also attempts to show (brand), a significant share of the regional market gained.
