Detailed explanation-1: -A certain amount of sugar solution in a container is heated, after heating threads are put in heated solution then it is cooled suddenly. After the solution is being cooled down, threads along with solid crystals of sugar are taken out. This process is called crystallization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once crystallization is initiated, sugar molecules become tightly packed, and the amount of water that can be held therefore decreases, which results in the loss of adsorbed water. In closed containers, ejected water is subsequently absorbed by the residual amorphous phase and causes a significant depression of the Tg.

Detailed explanation-3: -Crystallization is a physical change by which one substance in a mixture separates itself from the mixture and forms solid, crystalline particles with other molecules of the same substance. If you’ve ever seen rock candy, or made it at home, you have seen the result of sugar crystallization.
