OBJECTIVES To investigate the free sugars and calorie content of carbonated sugar-sweetened beverages (CSSB) available in the main UK supermarkets. STUDY DESIGN We carried out a cross-sectional survey in 2014 of 169 CSSB. METHODS The free sugars (sugars g/100 mL) and calorie (kcal/100 mL) were collected from product packaging and nutrient information panels of CSSB available in 9 main UK su...

A comparative study between the antioxidant properties of peel (flavedo and albedo) and juice of some commercially grown citrus fruit (Rutaceae), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), lemon (Citrus limon), lime (Citrusxaurantiifolia) and sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) was performed. Different in vitro assays were applied to the volatile and polar fractions of peels and to crude and polar fraction of ju...

In this paper we examine lipophilic substances, tannins, proteins, reducing carbohydrates, starch, and oxalate salts in early lineages of Asteraceae to test if they are a useful complement to classification studies. Styles of mature flowers of 44 species were processed according to plant histochemical techniques and observed by means of a light microscope. Lipophilic compounds were always prese...

Due to persistent difficulties experienced under routine conditions of analysis, considerable attention has been given in this laboratory to determining a satisfactory alternative procedure to the double polarisation method for sucrose in final molasses. For some time the Eynon~Lane technique has been employed for measuring the reducing sugars and re. ducing sugars plus inverted sucrose in fina...

The application of paper chromatography to the qualitative analysis of reducing sugars by Partridge (1946) has greatly simplified the detection of these substances in biological fluids. In particular it has provided an accurate and comparatively easy method of separating reducing sugars in the urine. This has proved of great value in the investigation of such a condition as congenital galactosa...

In this paper, we developed a green and facile approach to the synthesis of chemically converted graphene nanosheets (GNS) based on reducing sugars, such as glucose, fructose and sucrose using exfoliated graphite oxide (GO) as precursor. The obtained GNS is characterized with atomic force microscopy, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spect...
