PROCESS FOR THE MAKING OF INVERT SUGAR SYRUP IN MIXED SOLVENT SYSTEMS USING STRONG MINERAL AND WEAK ORGANIC ACIDS
Application 806/MUM/2001 published 2006-06-16, filed 2001-08-20
The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of invert sugar from sucrose using strong mineral acid or weak organic acid in mixed solvents, with typical starting sucrose concentrations ranging between 5%w/v to 75%w/v, with preferred reaction temperatures being in the range of 35C to 75C, at any pressure, resulting in a product, the ‘incvert sugar syrup’ having a total dissolved solid concentration of up to 75% w/v, comprising of >95% sugars as monosaccharides, and having a specific gravity of > 1.35 and a Brix value> 72%, and colour ranging from near colourless to pale or golden yellow.
