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...

Sugar syrup and molasses from beet processing containing 620 and 570 mg/mL sucrose, respectively, were assayed as low-cost and available substrates for the enzymatic synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOSs). A commercial pectinase (Pectinex Ultra SP-L, from Aspergillus aculeatus) characterized by the presence of a transfructosylating activity was used as a biocatalyst. The FOS production inc...

Sucrose syrup is a common additive in honey adulteration. To provide information for developing a cheap, simple, convenient and rapid sucrose–adulterated honey detector or sucrose content sensor, the permittivities of pure jujube, yellow-locust and milk-vetch flower honey, pure sucrose syrup and honey–sucrose syrup mixtures with sucrose content from 0% (pure honey) to 80% (pure sucrose syrup) w...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of food texture and viscosity on the swallowing function by measuring tongue pressure and performing a videofluorographic (VF) examination. Eleven normal adults were recruited for this study. Test foods with different consistencies and liquid contents, i.e., a half-solid nutrient made of 0.8 and 1.5% agar powder, syrup, and a liquid containing 40 wt/vol%...
