Domestic US sugar production has been protected by government policy for the past 82 years, resulting in elevated domestic prices and an estimated annual (2013) $1.4 billion dollar "tax" on consumers. These elevated prices and the simultaneous federal support for domestic corn production have ensured a strong market for high-fructose corn syrup. Americans have dramatically increased their consu...

The decolorization of remelt syrup is the most critical step in sugar refining process as it directly affects quality refined sugar. Adsorption a useful method that can be applied to decolorize syrup. A quaternary ammonium-functionalized chitosan/graphene oxide composite aerogel (GO-QACSA) was developed an effective adsorbent for removal high-molecular-weight reducing alkaline degradation produ...

In this study, population 5 bottles using leaf treatment consisting 0 g control variables independent (30 g, 40 50 60 g). generated da...

in this study , response surface methodology and face central composite design in order to investigate decolorization and clarification extraction of kaluteh date was used for the production of liquid sugar. the optimum amount of bentonite ( 1-3 g/l ) and gelatin ( 0/02-0/08 g/l ) was determined that the desired amount of bentonite and gelatin , 3 and 0/05 ( g/l ) , respectively. to determined ...

Average annual percentage rates of change (APR) in maple syrup prices (average gallon equivalent price in the United States) in seven northeastern United States and their aggregated region were determined for the years 1916 to 2012. The price trend lines were then compared on state-by-state and region-by-state bases. Maple syrup prices across all states and the region as a whole were increasing...

the fruit set rate and yield of pear are commonly low due to insufficient pollination, as the species is unattractive to honeybees. to improve honeybee foraging behavior for the pollination of dangshan pear (pyrus bretschneideri cv. dangshansuli), nine methods were used to attract bees. a control treatment of colonies was fed with normal sugar syrup, while six other treatments were fed using su...

The pulp of the cocoa fruit still has not economically viable yet. Its potency to be processed into syrup is expected increase its value added. Local sugar from palm and canes traditionally utilized produce brown sugar. This study aimed make by utilizing local sources in West Sumatra with several variants (palm sugar, sugarcane, market white sugar). effects concentration on quality were also st...

Chemical composition of Hibiscus drinks (Koor and Vimto varieties, commercial and traditional, infusions and syrups) was related to sensory evaluation and acceptance. Significant correlations between chemical composition and sensory perception of drinks were found (i.e. anthocyanin content and Hibiscus taste). Consumers (n=160) evaluated drink acceptability on a 9-point verbal hedonic scale. Th...
