Invert sugar

Invert sugar - sugar syrup , a solution consisting of equal molar fractions of glucose and fructose . This is the product of hydrolytic decomposition of sucrose into a mixture of glucose and fructose, which led to a change in the direction of rotation of the plane of polarization of light (inversion) passing through the solution. Invert sugar is the main component of natural honey , which is formed by the invertase enzyme . Sucrose hydrolysis also occurs in an acidic environment.

It is used in the manufacture of artificial honey , in the production of beverages: gin , whiskey , beer , sparkling wine . It is used instead of mannitol in the titrimetric determination of boron .
