The pumpkin is an important kitchen garden crop with very high nutritional value and long lifetime for storage and lot of fiber that acts as one of the best preventive factors from morbid obesity, hypertension, and cardiac diseases. As pretreatment for dehydration, osmotic dehydration creates maximum possible quality in the product by transfer of water outside the tissue of the nutrient. In thi...

BACKGROUND It is unclear if the sugar intake may affect metabolic parameters in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of sucrose intake in glycemic, lipemic, anthropometric variables, as well as in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in these individuals. METHODS Thirty-three subjects with type 1 diabetes were evaluated at baseline and ...

Whole-biomass adhesives are the research hotspot of wood andcan improve competitiveness adhesives. The tannin–sucrose adhesive studied by our group shows good bonding performance, but poor stability induced low viscosity. In this study, was modified isolated soybean protein (SPI), effect SPI substitution ratio for tannin on properties tannin–sucrose–SPI composite investigated, and mechanism exp...

The reuteransucrase enzymes of Lactobacillus reuteri strain 121 (GTFA) and L. reuteri strain ATCC 55730 (GTFO) convert sucrose into alpha-d-glucans (labelled reuterans) with mainly alpha-(1-->4) glucosidic linkages (50% and 70%, respectively), plus alpha-(1-->6) linkages. In the present study, we report a detailed analysis of various hybrid GTFA/O enzymes, resulting in the identification of spe...

tuberose (polianthus tuberosa) is a commercially important cut flower; but its longevity and quality characteristics are compromised by stress during storage and transportation. thus, it is important to determine the most appropriate preservative solution to best maintained cut flowers. tests were done to examine the effects on of nano-silver (ns) (0, 15, 30 and 45 mg l-1) and sucrose (0, 4 and...

There are a number of reports in the literature regarding the use of ionexchange materials for the catalytic hydrolysis of esters, proteins, and sucrose (1, 2, 3, 6, 7). The work of BODAMER and KUNIN (1) on the hydrolysis of sucrose by several readily available synthetic cation exchangers suggested that it might be possible to use this method for the determination of the total sugars in plant s...

Beet and cane molasses mainly contain mono- di-, tri-saccharides, composed by hexoses, as well pentoses in traces. However, rationing software consider sugars only one entity, with a rate of digestion ∼20% h−1. The aim this initial study was to investigate evaluate the vitro dynamics rates sugar fraction molasses. Three beet three were randomly selected from variety samples collected world-wide...

Wheat leaf non-sequential senescence at the late grain-filling stage involves the early senescence of younger flag leaves compared to that observed in older second leaves. On the other hand, sequential senescence involves leaf senescence that follows an age-related pattern, in which flag leaves are the latest to undergo senescence. The characteristics of sugar metabolism in two sequential senes...

Sucrose-phosphate synthetase is detectable only in intact chloroplast preparations of Phaseolus aureus. In contrast, sucrose synthetase and uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) pyrophosphorylase activities are low in extracts of photosynthetic tissues of P. aureus but are high in extracts of nonphotosynthetic tissues. Activities for ADP-, dTDP-, CDP-, and GDP-glucose pyrophosphorylases are...
