3. Your hearts say it all |

haha, I saw it on an ingredient list of an ice cream product. Seems like it would be worse than regular sugar. What happens when it becomes "ert?" (what is the opposite of inert, anyways?)

5. From BeerTools Pro Wiki |

Inert Sugar Processed common sugar (sucrose) obtained industrially by the inversion of sucrose with dilute acid, usually sulfuric acid, into equal parts of glucose and fructose. It does not contain dextrins and can be used as an adjunct or for priming. http://www.beertoolspro.com/mediawiki-1.8.2/index.php?title=Inert_Sugar&printable=yes

8. I hope that site realizes that "inert" is a misnomer. |
|
It really should be spelled "invert" per the inversion process :)
We used to use it in pastry class, mixed with chocolate to make a kind of Tootsieroll-like substance. That way we could roll it out and make little grande pianos for decoration :D

13. Then "inert" is a weird name. It really isn't. |
|
But then again, it never really could be. Oh well.

11. It has to do with a chemistry of the sugar molecule |
|
Inert sugar has all the same elements, but it's arranged differently than active sugar.
