Sir, We read with great interest the article by Eby [1]. We agree with the author that ionic zinc content of the lozenges may be one of the factors responsible for the beneficial effect in common cold. Some other relevant negative factors include zinc lozenges producing side-effects and compromising the compliance as well as masking, higher than therapeutic dose of zinc being used in some of th...

Results of a collaborative study are reported for the detection of added beet or cane sugar in maple syrup by the site-specific natural isotope fractionation-nuclear magnetic resonance (SNIF-NMR) method. The method is based on the fact that the deuterium content at specific positions of the sugar molecules is different in maple syrup from that in beet or cane sugar. The syrup is diluted with pu...

In this work, the efficacy of fig syrup, a Mediterranean fig derivative, as a nutraceutical supplement, was demonstrated. Fig syrup is a fruit concentrate used as a common ingredient in the preparation of typical foods, and particularly in cakes. In vitro assays were performed to determine the amount of nutraceutical ingredients, such as phenolic compounds (3.92 mg equivalent of gallic acid per...

Sugar maple syrup production is an important economic activity for eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Since annual variations in syrup yield have been related to climate, there are concerns about the impacts of climatic change on the industry in the upcoming decades. Although the temporal variability of syrup yield has been studied for specific sites on different time scales or ...

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...

INTRODUCTION Cough is a protective reflex that helps to expel irritant matter and is necessary for preventing mechanical obstruction to breathing.[1] It is the most common symptom affecting a large population and presenting to general practitioners. It can also be associated with the pulmonary diseases like common cold, pneumonia and chronic bronchitis.[2] Up to 40% of patients with chronic cou...
