What it is
Invert sugar is a liquid sweetener made from sucrose (table sugar). It is produced by breaking down sucrose into a mixture of glucose and fructose, either through enzymatic action or by heating with an acid. Cane molasses is a byproduct of refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar.
Why it's used
These ingredients are primarily used as sweeteners, providing a smooth texture and preventing sugar crystallization. They also add moisture and color to baked goods. You can find them in cookies, baked goods, candies, and some frozen appetizers.
Health notes
Invert sugar and molasses are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of carbohydrates and contribute to the overall sugar content of foods. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars and sweeteners, and these are considered safe when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Excessive intake of added sugars from any source is linked to health concerns.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Derived from sugarcane or sugar beets, which are not among the nine major allergens. Gluten-free.
