LorAnn Invertase / Fermvertase | Natural Enzyme for Candy Making
The secret behind silky cherry cordials, molten cream eggs, and perfectly smooth ganache centres — invertase is the natural enzyme that transforms solid fondant into a luscious liquid filling over time. Also known as Fermvertase, it is a staple in professional candy making and commercial baking for moisture retention and crystallization prevention.
Just add invertase to your moist fondant before dipping in chocolate, and within a few days your chocolate-covered creams will develop that signature creamy, smooth centre.
How It Works
- Converts sucrose in fondant into invert sugar, causing it to liquefy over time
- Typical application rate: 0.1% to 0.25% of total batch weight
- More invertase = faster reaction (doubling the amount halves the time)
- Reaction takes a few days up to one week — plan ahead
- Storing finished candies at room temperature speeds the liquifying process
- Alcohol and acids inhibit invertase — incorporate all other ingredients before adding
