Invert Sugar Cane Molasses

Invert sugar cane molasses is a liquid sweetener made from sugar cane. It is produced by breaking down sucrose into simpler sugars, glucose and fructose. This process, called inversion, makes the sugar easier to digest and less likely to crystallize.

Manufacturers use invert sugar cane molasses as a sweetener and to add moisture and a rich color to baked goods like cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. It also helps prevent crystallization in candies and frostings, ensuring a smoother texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, and syrups.

Invert sugar cane molasses is recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other sugars, it provides calories and can contribute to added sugar intake. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sugars and their derivatives, establishing acceptable daily intakes where appropriate.
