Inverted sugar syrup simple sugars is formed by a process of hydrolysis of sucrose. This mixture has the opposite direction of optical rotation as the original sugar, which is why it is called an "invert" sugar. Table sugar (sucrose) is converted to invert sugar by a chemical reaction called "hydrolysis". Heating a mixture or solution of table sugar and water breaks the chemical bond that links together the two simple-sugar components. The balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose is: Once a sucrose solution has had some of its sucrose turned into glucose and fructose the solution is
Sugar quartz Watts, published First edition, 7“ June, 1913., including in the Table of Contents referring to sugar quartz being on page 163. Page 58 of the same book refers to sugar quartz is "The sugar quartz is therefore the only pure silica present in commercial quantity in the region investigated. When pure its refractory value is cone 34 (1,810° C.). With the small amount of impurity present its deformation point or refractory value is about cone 32 or 33, that is, 1,780° C." Several other Native American Arrowheads made out of sugar quartz have been found as referenced in www.ArrowHeadOlogy.com, Lithicasting
