Factors for the calculation of invert sugar

Factors for the Calculation of Invert Sugar In Sugars containing more than 1% (Meissl and Hiller) 

Ratio between Saccharose Approximate quantity of invert sugar m milligrams  

The result of this test fixes the quantity of solution to be used in the determination—the amount of invert sugar present in any test should not exceed 0-2 gram. 

The necessary quantity of the sugar solution is then mixed with 50 c.c. of Fehling s solution and the volume made up to 100 c.c. with water, the liquid being then boiled as in Herzfeld s method. 

In order to make use of this table, it is necessary to know the approximate quantity of invert sugar in the solution used and the relation between the saccharose and invert sugar in the substance, referred to 100 of total sugars. The amount of invert sugar is approximately Cu 4- 2.
