E1103 — Invertase
Why it’s used
An enzyme (also called beta-fructofuranosidase) that splits sucrose into glucose and fructose (invert sugar). It's used as a processing aid in confectionery — most notably to liquefy the fondant centers of chocolates after they're coated — and to support fermentation in winemaking and brewing.

Regulatory status
USA — Allowed
Regulated as GRAS; invertase preparations (commercially produced from yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or fungal-derived genes) are included among enzyme preparations FDA recognizes as GRAS for food use, and manufacturers have also obtained specific 'no questions' GRAS notices for individual invertase preparations (e.g., GRN 1173, 2024).

EU — Allowed
Unusually among food enzymes, invertase retains a formal E-number and is authorized as a food additive under Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, with specifications set by Regulation (EU) No 231/2012; typical approved uses include liquid-centre confectionery and winemaking.
