Reducing sugar intake is a major public health goal but many consumers are reluctant to use low calorie sweeteners. Two studies were conducted in healthy adults aged 18 to 65 to investigate whether addition of culinary spices to foods reduced in sugar could preserve hedonic liking. Test foods, black tea, oatmeal, and apple crisp, were prepared in full sugar (FS), reduced sugar (RS), and reduced...

soil compaction reduces growth of secondary roots, soil aeration and water and mineral uptake by plant, and decreases chlorophyll content as well as root yield and sugar content. hence, the effect of soil compaction on sugar beet yield and sugar content farms determined by penetrometer using 40 plots of 100 m2 in 40 sugar beet field of hamedan, asadabad, malayer and bahar at the depth of 0-80 c...

Understanding sugar-lipid interactions during desiccation and freezing is an important step in the elucidation of cryo- and anhydro-protection mechanisms. We determine sucrose, trehalose, and water concentration distributions in intra-bilayer volumes between opposing dioleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers over a range of reduced hydrations and sugar concentrations. Stacked lipid bilayers at reduc...

Sugar has a role in the intrinsic properties of product and gives satiety effect after consumption. Nevertheless, its adverse on human body becomes an essential reason to reduce sugar content including ready-to-drink (RTD) cocoa beverages. Besides sugar, beverages are also affected by stabilizers. The development reduced-sugar RTD was studied two steps. Initially, stabilizers comprising kappa-c...

In this study some selected chemical properties such as total soluble solids, pH, total acidity, formalin index, reduced sugar content and ascorbic acid of major sour cherry cultivated grown in different provinces of Iran corresponding were investigated.  Minerals K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ were determine...

Customer attitudes and behaviours have moved towards health foods because they have more concerns on increasing environmental stresses such as pollution and toxic substances in the environment. Environmental pollutants and lifestyle factors induce oxidative stress leading to many long term health complications in human such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. WHO recommends a reduct...
