Shoots of Picea abies (Norwegian spruce) are traditional material for syrup production in the small and medium sized food industry in Northern Finland. The shoot products are believed to be beneficial to one’s health because of their purity and nutritional value, e.g. high mineral, ascorbic acid and flavonoid content. They are also valued for their essential oil content and the forest aroma. In...

The idea that the quality and taste of food is intimately linked to the place where it is produced, known as terroir, has long been important in the wine and coffee markets. The goal of this study is to explore if and how a geologic component of terroir, specifically bedrock lithology, relates to maple syrup produced in Vermont. It is widely known among syrup producers that the taste of unblend...

Corn syrup films are used to replicate holograms in order to fabricate micro-structural patterns without the toxins commonly found in photosensitive salts and dyes. We use amplitude and relief masks with lithographic techniques and rubbing techniques in order to transfer holographic information to corn syrup material. Holographic diffraction patterns from holographic gratings and computer Fouri...

Mannitol is a major deterioration product of Leuconstoc mesenteroides bacterial metabolism of sucrose and fructose from both sugarcane and sugar beet. The effect of crystallization conditions on the mannitol partition coefficient (K(eff)) between impure sucrose syrup and crystal has been investigated in a batch laboratory crystallizer and a batch pilot plant-scale vacuum pan. Laboratory crystal...

Maple syrup is made from sap exuded from stems of the genus Acer during the springtime. Sap is a dilute solution of primarily water and sucrose, with varying amounts of amino and organic acids and phenolic substances. When concentrated, usually by heating, a series of complex reactions produce a wide variety of flavor compounds that vary due to processing and other management factors, seasonal ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Codeine-containing cough syrups have become one of the most popular drugs of abuse in young people in the world. Chronic codeine-containing cough syrup abuse is related to impairments in a broad range of cognitive functions. However, the potential brain white matter impairment caused by chronic codeine-containing cough syrup abuse has not been reported previously. Our aim...

The present experiment was carried out during June to September, 2022 in Post- Harvest laboratory of Department Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. conducted (CRD) completely randomized design, with nine treatments which were replicated thrice. T0: Control (standard recipe), T1: Mint syrup (0.5%), T2: (1.0%), T3: Tulsi T4: T5: Lemongrass T6: T7: Cinnamon (0.5%) T8:Mint syrup(0.5%)+Tulsi syrup(0.5%...

Limits on Efficient Computation in the Physical World

Maple syrup has nutraceutical potential given the macronutrients (carbohydrates, primarily sucrose), micronutrients (minerals and vitamins), and phytochemicals (primarily phenolics) found in this natural sweetener. We conducted compositional (ash, fiber, carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, phytochemicals), in vitro biological, and in vivo safety (animal toxicity) stud...
