honeybees like the other animal creatures require proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals vitamins and water for their maintenance, growth and reproduction. normally they obtain their nutritional requirements from flowers but there are times when there aren’t sufficient flowers within reach they become in need of supplemental feeding. some such nutritional substances as soybeans, glutens, yeast...

Consumption of added sugar has increased over recent decades and is correlated with numerous diseases. Rodent models have elucidated mechanisms of toxicity, but only at concentrations beyond typical human exposure. Here we show that comparatively low levels of added sugar consumption have substantial negative effects on mouse survival, competitive ability, and reproduction. Using Organismal Per...

Crickets are often found feeding on fallen fruits among forest litter. Fruits and other sugar-rich resources are not homogeneously distributed, nor are they always available. We therefore expect that crickets dwelling in forest litter have a limited supply of sugar-rich resource, and will perceive this and displace towards resource-supplemented sites. Here we evaluate how sugar availability aff...

Thick juice (also regarded as syrup) is an intermediate product of sugar processing. It is cheaper than processed sugar and is mainly composed of sucrose. Sucrose is a preferred carbon source of Corynebacterium glutamicum, a workhorse of biotechnology used for million-ton-scale amino acid production. Here, it is shown for C. glutamicum that sugar beet thick juice led to higher growth rates and ...

Dr K COWCHER, Mr E McELLIGOTT, and Dr G W HANKS (Royal Marsden Hospital, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5PT) write: Recent experience with a patient with advanced cancer and insulin dependent diabetes has brought to our attention the sugar content of Oramorph, a recently introduced formulation of oral morphine sulphate solution. Oramorph is manufactured in two strengths, 10 mg in 5 ml and 100 mg in 5 ml, a...

UNLABELLED AIM of the study was selection of 2 different formulations of paracetamol of 2.5% (125 mg/5 mL) in the Pediatric practice. Paracetamol is widely used in the form of the syrup, with usual percentage of acting ingredient of 125 mg/5 mL. MATERIAL AND METHODS Both samples of the paracetamol syrup were monitored each day regarding organoleptic features (potential changes in color, smell...

Four different soluble fibres were evaluated as sugar replacers in short dough biscuits: two resistant dextrins (Nutriose® FM06 and Promitor® SGF 70R) inulin-derived (Orafti® HSI Fibruline™ Instant). The degree of polymerisation the was analysed, viscoelastic properties assessed. Weight loss during baking, dimensions, textural properties, surface colour sensory profile evaluated. Higher (e.g. F...
