Hi - I found this link on the sugar association website regarding production of sucrose from sugar cane:

https://www.sugar.org/blog/refining-and-processing-sugar-cane/

See step 3 - boiling sugar solution to thicken it. If boiling sucrose without an acid catalyst (or presence of an enzyme) did indeed cause sucrose to convert to glucose and fructose, then the sugar industry would have to find another way to produce sugar. Hope that helps.
