Question about reduction and carmelization
Posted on 8/20/22 at 6:00 pm

If I take evaporated milk which has 36g of carbs and 36g of sugar for the full 12 oz and reduce it down, will this increase the overall count of carbs and or sugar?
What if I carmelize the milk(dulce de leche) will that increase the overall count of carbs and sugar?

It will concentrate it.

No.

The answer is, "you'll still be fat."

You can’t just create carbs out of nothing. If you reduce it down you’ll have the same amount of carbs/sugars, just in a more concentrated liquid (less fluid ounces than you started with).

Something interesting happens to sucrose (table sugar) when it is heated. Not only does it caramelize (high heat), but the bonds between the two monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) are broken, making the sugar more readily available for absorption by the body.
It could be said that heating sugar makes it "worse" for you, but that's not completely true. It just makes it easier to absorb and therefore easier to be converted to energy or stored as fat.
To answer your questions, no, reducing evaporated milk will not increase the overall carb count nor sugar and caramelization will not increase the overall carb count.
Lastly, I think you meant condensed milk (20-30g carbs, used for making dulce de leche) and not evaporated milk (3-12g carbs).

evaporate = remove some of the liquid water via phase change to water vapor. Everything else remains in solution but heating changes sugar molecules as noted above
