What it is

Invert sugar is a liquid sweetener made from sucrose (table sugar). It's created by breaking down sucrose into a mixture of glucose and fructose, which is sweeter and resists crystallization better than sucrose. Evaporated milk is cow's milk that has had about 60% of its water removed through heating.

Why it's used

Invert sugar is used as a sweetener and to improve moisture and texture in baked goods and confectionery. Evaporated milk is used in a wide variety of recipes, including desserts, sauces, and soups, to add richness and a creamy texture without the need for refrigeration before opening.

Health notes

Evaporated milk provides protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, including sugars and dairy products, for safety. Typical consumption of these ingredients as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
