invert sugar is the result of sucrose of hydrolysis of sucrose by acid or enzyme, that is, the splitting of sucrose molecules into their glucose and fructose components.invert sugar is used in different industries such as; food industry, soft drinks and pharmaceutical, due to its special characteristics such as; sweetness level, moisture ability’s property, crystallization level and special tas...

1. A method is given whereby the course of hydrolysis of sucrose by live yeast cells may be followed with precision equal to that found when invertase solutions prepared from autolyzed yeast are used to cause inversion. 2. The practical value of the equation of Nelson and Hitchcock as a means of following the course of enzymic hydrolysis of sucrose is hereby extended. 3. The inversion of sucros...

With the use of high performance ion chromatography, investigations conducted in a number of sugar factories confirmed that glucose/brix or glucose/chloride could be used as a marker to localise and estimate sucrose inversion in evaporators, and establish its contribution to the undetermined loss. In most cases sucrose degradation took place in the later effects, where evaporator tubes were fou...

Sucrose is commonly used for sweetening berry products. During processing and storage of berry products containing added sucrose, sucrose is inverted to glucose and fructose. We have previously shown that postprandial glycaemic response induced by intact sucrose is attenuated when sucrose is consumed with berries rich in polyphenols. It is not known how inversion of sucrose affects glycaemic re...

Enzymatic changes are often detrimental to quality of low-moisture foods. In the present study, effects of glass transition and water on sucrose inversion in a lactose-sucrose food model were investigated. Amorphous samples were produced by freeze-drying lactose-sucrose (2:1)-invertase (20 mg invertase/49.4 g of carbohydrate) dissolved in distilled water. Sorption isotherms were determined grav...

During storage, sucrose solutions undergo a slow conversion into a 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose, also called „invert sugar“. Each molecule of sucrose splits into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose (see fig. 1) at the same time consuming one molecule of water. This "sugar inversion" is enhanced by the presence of acids (contained in most beverages) and by elevated temper...
