Pour activer la cristallisation, le sirop est concentré dans d'énormes chaudières qui l'amènent à l'état de sursaturation. Les premiers cristaux de sucre apparaissent au sein du sirop dense, qu'on appelle «la masse cuite». Celle-ci est alors déversée dans des malaxeurs. En se refroidissant, les cristaux achèvent de grossir dans une eau mère appelée «égout». 2, record 2, French, - egout%20de%20sucrerie
