- May contain glycerin, syrup, and have an alcohol content of 10-12%, serving as preservative.
Syrups
- Concentrated sugar solutions in water, potentially mixed with flavoring and active ingredients.
- Density exceeds one due to high sugar content; polyols added to enhance quality.
- Simple syrup preparations require specific sugar and water measurements.
Inversion Process
- Involves hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose at high temperatures and acidic pH.
- Inverted sugars are more prone to fermentation and darker in color.
Preparation Methods for Syrups
- Methods include heating solutions, agitation, adding sucrose to flavored liquids, or percolation.
- Heat method suitable for heat-stable components, involves dissolving sugar in heated purified water.
