Very natural, sucrose constitutes the major part of the sugar contained in maple syrup, but there is also glucose and fructose from the fragmentation of sucrose molecules by enzymes present at variable degrees in the syrup.

The more inverted sugar there are, the less the tendency to crystallization. This is why, to prepare derivative products such as maple puller, there could be the addition of an invert maple syrup to increase the lifespan without being refrigerated.
