Detailed explanation-1: -The increases in temperature causes the sugar to darken in colour. This process also can occur during the heating of food with natural sugar, for example frying onions. As they are heated they turn from white to a golden brown colour. This is due to the natural sugars in the onions being caramelised.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates, the sugars found in starches and in fruits and vegetables, turn golden brown and form new flavors when exposed to high temperatures. This transformation is called caramelization, and indeed it is literally the process that causes sugar to turn into caramel.
