A study has been initiated to review syrup clarification technology, with the objective of finding methods of improving syrup clarification, including chemical addition, and with special reference to aeration and flocculation problems. Preliminary results suggest that significant improvements to raw sugar quality are possible, particularly filterability. The review to-date is presented, with re...

INTRODUCTION The quest for formalin substitutes has long been going on due to its health hazards. Honey has been proven as a safe alternative to formalin. However, we explored more economical, eco-friendly & readily available substances like sugar & jaggery as natural substitutes for formalin. The aim of this study was to compare the tissue fixation abilities of honey, sugar syrup & jaggery syr...

Sena-Graph syrup has recently been formulated by an Iranian pharmaceutical company for being used in bowel evacuation before radiography, colonoscopy and surgery. This study compares the efficacy, adverse effects and patient compliance of two bowel preparation regimens with castor oil and Sena-Graph syrup in of outpatients for Intravenous Urography (IVU). One hundred and fourteen consecutive ou...

Fifty different pediatric syrups were randomly sampled from patent medicine stores and pharmaceutical shops within Awka (Anambra State, Nigeria) between November 2007 and May 2008. Syrups were ashed before digestion using conc. aqua regia, HCl: HNO(3) (3:1). Chromium, nickel and manganese were assayed with AAS 205A. The highest levels of nickel were seen in Magcid suspension (4.13 mg/L) and Gav...

For their normal living, honey bees (Apis mellifera) require proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. It is well known that Co and vitamin B12 are two nutrients that have been reported in pollen and plants that have had positive results in bees feeding. In this respect, the aim of the study is to determine the influence of feeding of the bee families with CoSO4 as a supplement on...

The influence of linear, parabolic and inverted temperature gradients on the onset double-diffusive Rayleigh-Darcy convection is theoretically investigated. composite system constrained horizontally by adiabatic free-free thermal boundaries, appropriate interfacial boundary conditions are used to connect fluid-porous layers. regular perturbation approach determine critical Rayleigh number expre...

Starch sweeteners are commonly used in many confectionery food products. Usually, considering the trend of producing low-energy and low-fat products, these products include fat mimetics. The aim this study was to investigate influence fructose on development functional properties MCG mimetic, such as rheological textural behavior. Fat mimetics made from Microcrystalline cellulose gel (MCG) cons...
