Invert Sugar

Invert sugar is a mixture of glucose and fructose that forms the main sugar component of honey. It is created by the enzymatic splitting of sucrose through the bee enzyme invertase during the honey ripening process. The ratio of glucose to fructose determines the crystallization behavior of the finished honey.
