when sucrose is hydrolysed it turns into glucose and fructose.
fructose is laevo rotatory
whereas glucose is dextrorotatory
sucrose is also dextrorotatory
but amout of laevo rotation of fructose is able to overcome the dextro rotation of glucose.
hence the product is laevo rotatory an d reactant dextrorotatory
hence sucrose is an invert sugar.

∙ 13y agoWhen sucrose is hydrolyzed it forms a 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose. This mixture is the main ingredient in honey. It is called invert sugar because the angle of the specific rotation of the plain polarized light changes from a positive to a negative value due to the presence of the optical isomers of the mixture of glucose and fructose sugars.

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.
What is the process when sugar is heated?
It melts. When sugar melts, its called caramelization.
What is the difference between total sugar and total sugar as invert?
Total sugar content is percentage by mass of sucrose (saccharose, C12H22O11, molecular mass 342 g/mol)Invert sugar content is percentage by mass of the glucose (C6H12O6, molecular mass 180 g/mol) and fructose (also C6H12O6, molecular mass 180 g/mol) mixture produced from saccharose (C12H22O11) and water (H2O) by 'invertase' reaction:saccharose (C12H22O11) + H2O --> glucose (C6H12O6) + fructose (C6H12O6)Through this reaction the mass of total sugar increases 18 g (by 'addition' of water to the molecular formulae) per mole (342g) of sucrose. This is about 5% increase in mass and concentration value.The total molarity is doubled, the sweetness also increased (about 20-30%) after inversion reaction.

What is invert sugar?
Invert sugar is sucrose that has been split into its two component sugars - glucose and fructose. This website explains it very well. Look under "Liquid Sugar" at the end of the page: http://www.sugar.org/consumers/sweet_by_nature.asp?id=275

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.
