invert syrup:   Inverted sugar syrup is a sucrose-based syrup. It has a lower water activity than that of sucrose, so provides more powerful preserving qualities (shelf life) to products that utilize it. The shelf life of partial inverts is approximately six months, depending on storage and climatic conditions. Crystallized invert sugar solutions may be restored to their liquid state by gently heating. Examples: Rock Candy, Toffee, York Peppermint Patties
