What it is

Invert cane sugar is a liquid sweetener made from cane sugar. It is produced by breaking down sucrose into its component simple sugars, glucose and fructose. This process, called inversion, can be done using heat and acid or enzymes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add invert cane sugar to foods primarily as a sweetener. It is sweeter than sucrose and helps retain moisture, giving baked goods a softer texture and longer shelf life. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages.

Health notes

Invert cane sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can contribute to increased blood sugar levels. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated invert sugar and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. It is derived from sugarcane and does not contain gluten.
