Invert sugar is prepared by the can be difficult to manage in the and fructose. Now, fructose is a sugar, of sucrose to glucose busy production environment. which can be consumed even by (dextrose) and fructose. This is Properties of Invert Sugar diabetic patients due to the fact that achieved by subjecting a sucrose Invert sugar has the following its is insulin independent. solution to acid and heat: properties that provide benefits in Invert sugar syrups can be fully many food applications: inverted as above, or partially inverted to leave part of the original sugar unchanged. These syrups are Medium invert (50% sugar, 50% known as medium or partial invert invert) has an increase sweetness of sugar syrups. The term "invert" 20%, when compared to pure sugar originates from the effect on the or pure invert. This additional polarimeter instrument traditionally sweetness can be of benefit in fruit used to analyze sucrose solutions. flavored drinks where around 20% Compared to pure sucrose, a less sweetener can be mixture of glucose and fructose used as ordinary sugar is replaced "inverts“ the plane of polarised with medium invert. Enzymatic light, and so this is known as invert invert sugar is an absolutely health sugar. friendly sweetener. Herein, the Inverting sugar in your own factory invertase is employed for is a time consuming process that hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose needs critical process control, and 4 PROPERTIES OF INVERT SUGAR Moreover, invert sugar is 28-30% sweeter than table sugar so the amount of sugar required for a particular degree of sweetness is also reduced. Finally, enzymatic invert sugar does not involve the use of any chemicals or acids unlike the conventional acid-hydrolyzed invert syrup. Hence, it is a completely healthy sweetener.

Sucrose Inversion Using Invertase The conventional method of manufacturing invert sugar involves acid hydrolysis of sucrose, the popular and cheap sweetener. However, such acid hydrolysis has a low conversion efficiency, high-energy consumption and thus cost of production is high. The acid-hydrolyzed product also contains impurities introduced by uncontrollable parameters during inversion. This conversion can also 5 PROPERTIES OF INVERT SUGAR

Invert sugar is a valuable sweetener in food and pharmaceutical application because of its functionally more desirable properties i.e. high osmotic pressure, high solubility and humid nature. 7 INVERT SUGAR PROCESS LINE AND USE

Invert sugar can be used in: PROCESS LINE: • Biscuits: For and enhanced flavor. • Better texture • Bread, cakes & pastries: For better crust color and softer crumb and faster yeast activation. • Fruit processing: For better shelf life due to good humectant properties. Provides better taste profile and enhances flavor. • Honey: For bee feeding and blending with honey. Restricted bacterial activity. Good and chemically purer replacement of honey. • Squashes, Lemonades and Instant Energy Drinks- Glucose and fructose provide instant energy and better taste. • Pharmaceuticals-Ready to use for cough syrups and glucose and fructose based intravenous fluids. ensymm is a German based premier project consulting company for Life Sciences, serving biotech companies, pharmaceutical industry and food ingredient companies.
