Wikipedia
caramelise
Caramelization is a process of browning of sugar used extensively in cooking for the resulting sweet nutty flavor and brown color. The brown colors are produced by three groups of polymers: caramelans (C24H36O18), caramelens (C36H50O25), and caramelins (C125H188O80). As the process occurs, volatile chemicals such as diacetyl are released, producing the characteristic caramel flavor.Like the Maillard reaction, caramelization is a type of non-enzymatic browning. Unlike the Maillard reaction, caramelization is pyrolytic, as opposed to being a reaction with amino acids. When caramelization involves the disaccharide sucrose, it is broken down into the monosaccharides fructose and glucose.

caramelise
Caramelise refers to a cooking process where sugar is heated slowly to a temperature of 170°C (340°F). This process changes the sugar's colour to a rich brown and enhances its flavour to a nutty, sweet complexity. This term is commonly used when discussing the preparation of foods like onions or certain types of desserts, where the sweetness, flavour and brown colour of caramelisation are desired outcomes.
