How does sweetener melt?

Sweeteners, like sugar, melt when heated because the heat energy breaks down the crystalline structure, allowing the molecules to move freely. As the temperature rises, the solid sweetener transitions to a liquid state through a process called melting. This transformation occurs at specific temperatures depending on the type of sweetener, with most sugars melting around 160-186°C (320-367°F). Other sweeteners, such as sugar substitutes, may have different melting points and behaviors when heated.
