Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The maximum concentration of inverted sugar in Jam should not exceed 40%.
Inverted sugar syrup is a syrup mixture of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, that is made by hydrolytic saccharification of the disaccharide sucrose.
Jam contains inverted sugar formed by the heating process and the acid content of the fruit. This sugar preserves the jam for long periods. Golden syrup is a syrup of about 55% inverted syrup and 45% table sugar (sucrose).
