Inverted sugar is sweeter than sugar because upon splitting the sucrose molecules into 2 molecules, one of fructose and one of glucose, the concentration of sugar molecules doubles (i.e. 1 pound of sucrose -> 1 pound glucose + 1 pound frucose = 2 pounds sugars).

What is a sugar solution?
Sugar in water forms a sweet syrup. The more sugar dissolved into the water the thicker (and more syrupy) it will become.
How is density related to sugar content?
I am assuming by "sugar content" you are referring to a solution of sugar and water. Water at around 25 degrees Celsius has a density of 1.0 gram/cm3. The density of solid sugar (sucrose) is around 1.6 grams/cm3. As you dissolve sucrose in water, the density of the resulting solution will naturally increase as you add more and more sugar. As you approach 100% sucrose, the density will approach 1.6 grams/cm3.
What is similar about table sugar and table salt?
The sugar is more sweet and the salt is more salty.
Is benzoic acid or sucrose more soluble in water?
Benzoic acid solubilty in water at room temperature: 2,9 g/L. Sugar solubilty in water at room temperature: 2000 g/L.
Is table sugar an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sugar is a name for a class of carbohydrate of which there are many; frusctose, maltose, glucose etc. Common table sugar is a dissaccharide (compound) of two sugars, glucose and fructose and is chemically called sucrose.
Why are cooked sucrose solution sweeter than uncooked sucrose solution?
During cooking, sucrose hydrolyses into its monomers, glucose and fructose. This mixture is commonly known as "invert sugar". Invert sugar shows more sweetness than sucrose.
Is glucose sugar the sugar you buy from stores?
Sucrose is ordinary table sugar; glucose is simpler and more refined than sucrose.
Does caramel have sugar?
A one word answer would be "YES". Depending on the kind of sugars meant, each kind of sugar has its own chemical formula. Table sugar is sucrose. It is made from two simpler sugars called glucose and fructose. Glucose is also sometimes called dextrose. Glucose is a little less sweet than sucrose, and fructose is a sweeter than sucrose. When sucrose is heated in the presence of an acid (such as vinegar or lemon juice), it breaks down into glucose and fructose, and the resulting syrup is sweeter than sucrose. The syrup is called "invert sugar". Simple sugars can join to form long chains. Glucose units can chain up to form amylose,the starch in corn. There are many different types of simple sugars, and they can combine into many more types of complex sugars. The backbone of DNA is a chain made of sugars.
Is sucrose sugar?
No. Sucrose has a relative sweetness of 1.0, while Splenda (Sucralose) of the same quantity is about 600 times sweeter. Fructose is the sweetest of all natural sugar types, with a relative sweetness of 1.73. Xylitol is roughly as sweet as sucrose. Glucose, which is the main component of starch, has a relative sweetness of 0.6-0.7. Of all the sugars, Lactose is the least sweet, with a relative sweetness of 0.16.
What sugar does not contain aspartame?
Sucrose (white sugar), fructose, maltose, and more
Why should jam contain a mixture of sucrose and invert sugar?
I just made strawberry jam last night. And it is phenomenal. Now to answer your question: it doesn't have to. Invert sugar is fructose (found naturally in fruit) mixes with heat and sucrose to produce the same chemical reaction for invert sugar or sugar syrup. I find that the quality of the ingredients really is what gives you a good product. Pick your own fruit if you can. Use fresh not frozen. Use a basic table sugar. And you need pectin. Some say it is an exact science, but then again, I never follow anything exactly. For a good flavor and not overly sweet but delicious taste, I use equal parts of fruit mash and sugar. 1:1 cup ratio and for every cup, add a tablespoon of pectin (if you are using Ball canning pectin) This is a reduced sugar recipe compared to the directions. But just give it a try. Make sure you cook it long enough to where it congeals quickly when taken away from heat. And get rid of the foam. Read more posts and do a little more research if you still feel unsure. Or post with other questions.

What is sucrose more commonly called?
it is commonly known as the table sugar.
How pure is raw sugar?
The raw sugar that emerges from the sugar mills is more than 95 percent sucrose
What else is interesting about how sugar effects baked goods?
Caramelization. Adds color and taste.Crystallization. Cooking bread with sucrose (white sugar) will taste stale more quickly, since the sugar crystallizes. Invert sugar (Karo) will keep the bread moist.Adhesion. You can use sugar to glue cookies together in unique ways.Decoration.Lengthens cooking time [unsure, what I was taught].Increases density. Cookies and cakes rise, the flour's starch and protein at like a balloon. Sugar inhibits that.

Is sucrose and glucose present in lemon juice?
Fructose is a sugar that is naturally-occurring in fruits. Citrus is very high in fructose. It can be bought in granular form and used as a substitute for sugar. There is no such thing as "fructose acid".
