Gummies are gelatin-based confectionery gel products where the sweeteners play vital roles in product texture. This study focused on impacts of sweeteners, which make up ~70–80% total solids, sol properties, gelling, and melting behaviors gelatin (4–6%) gels. Gelling properties solutions with without (sucrose glucose syrup) were characterized rheology differential scanning calorimetry, while fi...

Dietary fibers are often under-consumed worldwide, even though their health benefits already established in dietary guidelines, which recommend daily intake of 25–30 g. Increasing the supply fiber-enriched food products is a way to improve consumers’ intake. This study proposes development mixed sucrose/erythritol/fiber matrix, particulate as crystalline solid aggregate by co-crystallization pr...

The diffuse X-ray scattering method has been applied to samples composed of SOPC, DOPC, DMPC, and POPC with added sugar, either sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, or trehalose. Several sugar concentrations in the range 200-500 mM were investigated for each of the lipid/sugar samples. We observed no systematic change in the bending modulus KC or in the tilt modulus Kθ with increasing sugar con...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In our current food supply, sugar substitutes are widely used in beverages and other food products. However, there is limited information about the link between dietary consumption of sugar substitutes and stroke to date. This study sought to determine the effect of various sugar substitutes on the cerebral ischemic injury and endothelial progenitor cells, which have been...

We investigated phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system enzyme II activities for sucrose and glucose in Streptococcus mutans 6715g. Two integral membrane proteins, enzyme IIscr and enzyme IIglc, each specific for its sugar substrate, sucrose or glucose, were identified by their abilities to catalyze specific sugar:sugar-phosphate exchange reactions. Some of the properties of the...

Ion exclusion is a chromatographic process which separates components from an impure feedstock on the basis of molecular size and charge. A pilot plant ion exclusion separator was constructed to determine the technical and economic feasibility of recovering sugar from refinery jet 4 (the feedstock identified as most promising in terms of ease of treatment). Extensive tests on jet 4 from the Mal...

The new study supports the notion that consumption of high amounts of sugar can increase the risk of breast cancer and its metastasis to the lungs. Further animal and human studies are needed to confirm these observations. High levels of dietary sugar consumption have been linked to the development of breast cancer in epidemiological studies, yet a direct cause-and-effect relationship has not b...

The aim of this research was to analyze and compare 17 honey samples, 11 organic and six non-organic Apis mellifera honey. The samples were analyzed concerning moisture, hydroxymethylfurfural, diastase index, water activity, color, total sugar, reducing sugar, sucrose, ash, viscosity, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity, and formol index. With the exception of acidity, reducing sugar and diast...

To determine whether honey and sucrose would have differential effects on levels of neutrophil phagocytosis after long-term feeding 36 2-month old Sprague Dawley rats were fed a powdered diet that was either sugar-free or contained 7.9% sucrose or 10% honey (honey is 21% water) ad libitum for 52 weeks. The percent of neutrophils exhibiting phagocytosis, and the percentage of leukocytes that wer...

Abstract Robusta beans have a bitter taste, sour and high caffeine content. coffee contains 2.2 percent caffeine, while Arabica 1.2 caffeine. The level in the can be lowered through decaffeinated process. Optimal extraction from requires heating via However, temperatures long times reduce flavor due to degradation of flavor-forming compounds, resulting with weak flavor. This research aimed enha...
