The current epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes is attributed to a high carbohydrate diet, containing mainly high fructose corn syrup and sucrose. More than two thirds of diabetic patients have hypertension. Methylglyoxal is a highly reactive dicarbonyl generated during glucose and fructose metabolism, and a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Plasma methylglyoxal lev...

Direct inoculation to cefoxitin-cycloserine-fructose agar and broth was compared with alcohol shock-chopped meat broth inoculation for optimal detection of Clostridium difficile in fecal samples. Alcohol shock is significantly more sensitive than cefoxitin-cycloserine-fructose agar or broth and may be the method of choice to detect C. difficile in asymptomatic carriers.

Karlová T., Poláková L., Šmidrkal J., Filip V. (2010): Antimicrobial effects of fatty acid fructose esters. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 146–149. Antimicrobial effects of various fatty acids and their esters have been extensively studied. Esters with saccharides (glucose, sucrose) have been found to have a broad spectrum of microbicidal activity. The objective of this study was to investigate the su...

Baked for Anzac Day in April but eaten all year, biscuits memorialize the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) participation Gallipoli Campaign during World War I. The chemical culinary capacities of one biscuit’s key ingredients, golden syrup, offer strategies figuring snaps, breaks, refusals. Golden syrup catalyzes a feminist digestion food often perceived as culturally conservative ...

The use of high-fidelity dynamic simulation (HFDS) offers numerous benefits throughout the process lifecycle. The primary areas of benefit include better equipment sizing and selection, optimum control design, reduced errors, cost and time savings, and improved safety and training. Process and control design may benefit from HFDS. Process equipment may be sized and selected to meet not only cap...

1. The method proposed by Rognstad & Katz [(1976) Arch, Biochem, Biophys, 177, 337-345] for the determination of the fructose 6-phosphate/fructose 1,6-bisphosphate cycle by the randomization of carbon between C-1 and C-6 of glucose glucose formed from [1-14C] galactose was applied to anaesthetized rats and conscious mice. 2. It was checked that the hydrolysis of fructose 6-phosphate by glucose ...

Methyl lactate (MLA), a versatile biomass platform, was typically produced from the catalytic conversion of high-priced fructose in most research studies. High corn syrup (HFCS) is mixture glucose, fructose, and water, an economical substitute for to produce MLA due much lower cost separation drying processes. However, transformation HFCS still challenge its complex components presence water. I...
