OBJECTIVE This is an Asian study, which was designed to examine the correlations between biochemical data and food composition of diabetic patients in Taiwan. METHODS One hundred and seventy Taiwanese diabetic patients were enrolled. The correlations between biochemical data and diet composition (from 24-hour recall of intake food) of these patients were explored (Spearman correlation, p < 0....

(2) the low-ash tendency of the west coast sugars is due to low concentrations of both inorganic and organic salts, and (3) the moderately high ash of the eastern sugars is due to high concentrations of organic salts and in spile of low values for inorganic salts. In addition, from portions of the tables presented earlier, we may say tha t the differences in the salt components of the sugars ar...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) an important sugar crop, shows high sensitivity to salinity at various growth stages. This study was conducted to determine the comparative response of a salt-tolerant (CP-4333) and a salt-sensitive (CP-71-3002) sugarcane clone to the toxic or osmotic effects of sodium chloride at two growth stages. Clones indicated significant differences in terms of reduct...

Chocolate milk is a popular tasteful dairy product and sugar is one of the main participants inits formulation. Massecuit III is a type of brown sugar consisting of phenolic compounds and other componentsthat might exhibit antioxidant activity and could improve and affect the nutritional properties of the food. Theaim of the present study is to replace some or all of the white sugar used in the...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the reported advice for the intake of salt, sugar and fat for the Brazilian adults living in urban areas. METHODOLOGY National-based cross-sectional study with 12,402 adults interviewed in 100 Brazilian c...

the root pulling force as well as the amount of transferred soil have not been reported quantitatively for various sugar beet types. this study was designed to measure the amounts of transferred soil from farm and estimate the root pulling force among sugar beets populations with different root shapes at harvest time. the experiment was conducted as a split plot with a randomized complete block...

In order to clarify the significance of obesity in atherosclerotic risk at different ages, the relationship between the body-mass index, serum sialic acid concentration, and various atherosclerotic risk factors were investigated for healthy subjects in three different age groups, 35-39, 40-49 and 50-59 years old. The body-mass index correlated significantly with mean arterial blood pressure, fa...

When Escherichia coli Olll:B4 is exposed briefly to ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) it releases 30 to 50% of its lipopolysaccharide, determined not only by measuring percentage release of colitose, a sugar unique to this polymer, but also by measuring the amount of phenol-extractable lipopolysaccharide remaining with the cell. The fraction released cannot be significantly increased above 50%...
