Invert sugar

Product Description:

Invert Sugar is a mixture of glucose and fructose and is obtained by splitting sucrose into these two components.

Compared with sucrose, inverted sugar is sweeter and its products tend to remain in a  liquid form, and is less prone to crystallization.

Invert sugar has a lower water activity than that of sucrose, so it provides more powerful preserving qualities (a longer shelf life) to products that use it.

The shelf life of Invert Sugars is approximately six months, after which crystallization might start to occur -  depending on storage and climatic conditions. Crystallized invert sugar solutions may be restored to their liquid state by gently heating.
