Manufacturing Of Cotton Candies

At the start of manufacture, the sugar is a solid material supplied as individual granules. When it is melted the individual granules become intermixed and form thick, sticky syrup. This syrup is then spun out to create thin strands that harden. These hardened strands have many of the same characteristics as cotton fibers, which is how cotton candy got its name. When the strands are collected on a cone, they are not packed close together and a certain amount of air gets trapped between them. This increases the volume of the candy, giving it a light and fluffy texture. These are one of the most pleasurable foods to consume as well.
