What is Invert Syrup?
Invert syrup is a liquid sweetener created by hydrolyzing sucrose into glucose and fructose. This process involves heating sugar with water, often in the presence of an acid or enzyme, to break down the sucrose molecules. The resulting syrup is sweeter than regular table sugar and has a longer shelf life due to its ability to retain moisture. It is frequently used in baked goods, candies, and beverages to enhance sweetness, improve texture, and extend product freshness.

As it can be derived from various sources, individuals with corn allergies should verify the source with the manufacturer to ensure it is safe for their consumption.
