n.

Syrup
For the alcohol and codeine drink, see
purple drank. For the book, see
Syrup (novel) In
cooking, a syrup (from Arabic sharab, beverage, via
Latin siropus) is a thick,
viscous liquid, containing a large amount of dissolved
sugars, but showing little tendency to deposit
crystals. The viscosity arises from the multiple
hydrogen bonds between the dissolved sugar, which has many
hydroxyl (OH) groups, and the
water. Technically and scientifically, the term syrup is also employed to denote viscous, generally residual, liquids, containing substances other than sugars in solution. Artificial maple syrup is made with water and an extremely large amount of dissolved sugar. The solution is heated so more sugar can be put in than normally possible. The solution becomes super-saturated.
