Abstract:  The influence of invert sugar I on the solubility of sucrose S is described at various temperatures t by the empirical functions S = f (I). The solution of the quadratic functions for S = 0 in the 10 to 90 °C temperature range has still real roots at 85.5 °C. At constant temperature, the solubility of sucrose decreases when the concentration of invert sugar increases. At constant amount of invert sugar, the solubility of sucrose rises with the increasing temperature; nevertheless, the appropriate solubility of sucrose in water is not achieved.
