Gomme syrup is made with the highest percentage of sugar to water possible, while the gum arabic prevents the sugar from crystallizing and adds a smooth texture.
In Canada, syrups must be made exclusively from maple sap to qualify as maple syrup and must also be at least 66 percent sugar. In the United States, a syrup must be made almost entirely from maple sap to be labelled as maple, though states such as Vermont and New York have more restrictive definitions (see below). maple syrup production farm is called a  sugarbush  or sugarwood. Sap is often boiled in a  sugar house  (also known as a sugar shack, sugar shanty, or cabane a Ã ), sucre a building louvered at the top to vent the steam from the boiling.
