Editing Inverted sugar syrup (section)

===For fermentation===
{{Main|Syrup#For fermentation}}

All constituent sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) support [[fermentation]], so invert sugar solutions of any composition can be fermented.

Syrup is used to feed microbiological life, which requires oxygen found in the water. For example, [[kombucha]] is produced by fermenting inverted sugar syrup with [[tea]] using a ''[[symbiotic]] culture of bacteria and yeast'' ([[SCOBY]]), and [[yeast in winemaking]] is used for [[ethanol fermentation]]. Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water, but granulated sugar does not dissolve easily in cold water.

Water in a container with wide bottom [[surface area]] allows for faster dissolving of the sucrose, which only has to be mixed a few times periodically to form a homogeneous solution. Also, a [[mixer (appliance)|mixer]] or [[blender]] may be used to rotate the sugar, in turns, if necessary.
