Definitions There are many, sometimes confusing, terms used in the literature. Simple carbohydrate (sugar) refers to monoand disaccharides; complex carbohydrate refers to polysaccharides such as starch. Common disaccharides are sucrose (glucose fructose), found in sugar cane, sugar beets, honey, and corn syrup; lactose (glucose galactose), found in milk products; and maltose (glucose glucose), ...

In this work, sweeping gas membrane distillation (SGMD) process was used for concentrating of glucose syrup. The main questions in this work include: is SGMD process practical for concentrating of glucose solution prior the fermentation step in bioethanol process?. and are the commercially available hydrophobic membranes sufficient enough to develop the SGMD process in pilot scale for this issu...

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) cubes of 12.5 × 12.5 × 12.5 mm thick were osmosed for 4 h in sugar syrup of 30, 40 and 50°Brix concentration and temperatures of 30 and 50°C at constant syrup to fruit ratio of 5:1. Osmosed and unosmosed aloe vera samples were hot air dried at 50, 60, 70 and 80°C with constant air velocity of 1.5 m/s. The water loss, solid gain and convective drying behaviour...

The carob syrup has been attracted the interest of consumers as an alternative sweetener due to its superiority against refined ones. Bioactive phytochemicals and polyols, vitamins minerals are present in syrup; whereas sucrose, fructose glucose main sugars. Although prefer for special composition, sucrose supplementation is a common adulteration abating health benefits. detection natural sweet...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Codeine-containing cough syrups have become one of the most popular drugs of abuse in young people in the world. Chronic codeine-containing cough syrup abuse is related to impairments in a broad range of cognitive functions. However, the potential brain white matter impairment caused by chronic codeine-containing cough syrup abuse has not been reported previously. Our aim...

Invertase is a commercially important enzyme used for the hydrolysis of sucrose. The hydrolysis of sucrose yields an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose, known as invert syrup, is widely used in food and beverage industries. This enzyme is also used for the manufacture of artificial honey, plasticizing agents used in cosmetics, pharmaceutical and paper industries as well as enzyme electro...

INTRODUCTION The quest for formalin substitutes has long been going on due to its health hazards. Honey has been proven as a safe alternative to formalin. However, we explored more economical, eco-friendly & readily available substances like sugar & jaggery as natural substitutes for formalin. The aim of this study was to compare the tissue fixation abilities of honey, sugar syrup & jaggery syr...

This study aims to determine the optimum parameters for the invert sugar obtaining, using the acid hydrolysis at t oC. The inversion reaction has been applied to 3 samples of sugar solution of different concentration (P1: SU = 70%, P2: SU = 75%, P3: SU = 80%). For obtaining the invert sugar syrup, different inversion temperatures have been used (t1 = 80oC, t2 = 90oC, t3 = 100oC). The inversion ...
