The adhesion of glucose heated at diffrent temperatures ranging from 160 to 250°C on commercially available enamel-coated steel plates has been investigated. During heating, several chemical modifications of glucose occur and strong adhesion to the substrate develops. The adhesion of glucose at high temperature can be strongly reduced by using fluoroalkylsilane-treated plates. In order to obtain quantitative data, a specific adhesion test has been developed.
