Quality characteristics of Korean commercial apple wine, Moru wine, red wine, white wine, and raspberry wine were compared in this study. The aim of this study is to improve the quality of fruit wines, based on physicochemical characteristics, fermentation quality, correlation between soluble solid and sugar content, and a relationship between electrical conductivity and other analyzed paramete...

OBJECTIVE To assess racial/ethnic differences in the diet in young children and the explanatory role of maternal BMI, immigrant status and perception of child's weight. DESIGN Among white, black and Hispanic 3-year-olds, we used negative binomial and linear regression to examine associations of race/ethnicity with foods and nutrients assessed by a validated FFQ. SETTING Project Viva, Boston...

Augmentative releases of parasitoid wasps are often used successfully for biological control of fruit flies in programs worldwide. The development of cheaper and more effective augmentative releases of the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha tryoni (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) may allow its use to be expanded to cover Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae),...

In recent years, it has been necessary for sugar factories to produce higher quality raw sugar for export and good quality refined or semi-refined white sugar for direct consumption. Consequently, clarification and decolorization processes used in sugar factories have had to be improved. It is now almost universal for sugar refineries to use either Carbonatation or Phosphatation Process to clar...

this study was intended to evaluate the quality of 30 honey samples, in terms of physicochemical properties such as moisture content, electrical conductivity, ash content, reducing sugars and sucrose, free acidity, ph, diastase activity, and hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) content. moreover, three methods recommended by the international honey commission for the determination of hmf, including 1) h...

Energy balance studies with weanling ratsand mice were carried out to investigate the chronic effects of diets containing white sugar, unrefined sugar, and starch as sole carbohydrate on body composition and energetic efficiency. The results show no significant differences in energetic efficiency and in body composition of both rats and mice fed the different carbohydrate diets. However, there ...

1. The claims that rats fed on diets with 'brown sugar' (unrefined muscovado) perform better in a number of ways than do rats fed on refined white sugar (sucrose) have been examined. 2. Male Wistar rats were fed on purified diets from weaning, in which the carbohydrate component was either maize starch or unrefined sugar or sucrose. The sugars produced no differences in growth rate, body compos...
