Invert sugar
Invert sugar is a sweetener made by splitting sucrose into glucose and fructose, commonly supplied as viscous syrup and used in foods.
About Invert sugar
Invert sugar is a sweetening ingredient produced when sucrose is split into its component sugars, glucose and fructose. It is used in confectionery, baking, beverages and other foods, where it supplies sweetness and can affect texture and moisture. The term does not specify whether the starting sucrose came from cane, beet or another source.
It is commonly sold as a clear, viscous syrup, although dried forms and different concentrations may also be available. Its flavour is sweet and usually mild, with colour varying by manufacture. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish syrup from dry invert sugar and consider water content, concentration and the precise product form.
