a. Saturated aqueous solutions of sugar
In syrup preparation, the primary ingredient is usually a saturated aqueous solution of sugar. This solution provides the sweetness and viscosity characteristic of syrups. It is common to dissolve a high concentration of sugar in water to create the syrup base. Other ingredients, such as flavorings or medications, may be added to this sugar solution to achieve the desired formulation.
