Does sugar turn black when heated?

Does sugar turn black when heated? You may have noticed that if you continue heating sugar after it has turned dark brown, it gradually turns black, and acquires a bitter ‘charred’ taste. That’s because the carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the sugar vaporize as different organic fragments, leaving behind a black, bitter version of sugar.
