Syrups = high concentration of sucrose (sucrose kills microorganisms by its osmotic effect).

Examples of syrups include maple syrup, corn syrup, and simple syrup. These syrups can be used in various food and beverage applications, such as sweetening coffee or cocktails, baking, and making sauces and glazes. Syrups have a long shelf life due to their high sugar content, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
