The impact of water-soluble carbohydrate composition in relation to damage levels of onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman), were studied under field conditions at the Experimental Field of the Biotechnical Faculty in Ljubljana on 7 cabbage cultivar (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). Onion thrips showed weak preference on cabbage heads with high amount of total carbohydrate, fructose and gluc...

A facile carbohydrate-based highly stereoselective synthetic route has been developed for the cytospolide P (1) from D-ribose for the first time. Key steps of the synthesis include Wittig homologation, regioselective epoxide ring opening, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, Evans aldol reaction, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization.

during ramadan fasting quantity and quality of dietary intake may change. there was no data on nutrient patterns in ramadan fasting. the purpose of this study was to identify ramadan major nutrient patterns among those who fast in tehran, iran. 510 fasting people aged 18-65 years and bmi 18.5-40 kg/m2 were recruited in our study by 2-stage cluster sampling method in june-july 2014. data on the ...

The various ecological habitats in the human body provide microbes a wide array of nutrient sources and survival challenges. Advances in technology such as DNA sequencing have allowed a deeper perspective into the molecular function of the human microbiota than has been achievable in the past. Here we aimed to examine the enzymes that cleave complex carbohydrates (CAZymes) in the human microbio...

INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is a chronic heterogenous disease in which there is dysregulation of carbohydrates, protein and lipid metabolism; leading to elevated blood glucose levels. The present study was conducted to evaluate the correlation between blood glucose and salivary glucose levels in known diabetic patients and control group and also to evaluate salivary glucose level as a diagno...

Hot-water extracts of mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) wood were assayed for their total carbohydrate, reducing sugar, and glucose content. These hydrolysates were then used as complete media for yeast growth. A total of 10 strains of yeasts were evaluated for their biomass production in the mesquite wood hydrolysates. Levels of utilizable carbohydrate proved to be the limiting factor for yeast g...

Data on the ...

Seasonal change of total carbohydrate contents in samples taken from leaves and stems of almond varieties was investigated. Carbohydrate contents in the leaves and stem of all varieties showed seasonal differences. The highest carbohydrate content in the leaves and stem of all varieties was found in April, and January, respectively. The lowest carbohydrate content in the leaves of Nonpareil was...
