Selected parameters used for effluent and rock candy consisted of supersaturation at 4 levels (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6) and temperature at 3 levels (70, 80, 900C) with 3 replications. The physiochemical tests consisted of pH, color and invert sugar percentage done on all the samples. According to the results, the rise in super-saturation and temperature had significant effect on all the effluent and rock candy characteristics (P %> http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1038-en.pdf %P 85-93 %& 85 %! %9 Research %L A-10-416-1 %+ %G eng %@ 2476-3594 %[ 2009
