Excess added sugar consumption is tied to poor health outcomes in children. The sugar content of beverages and foods children are exposed to is mostly unknown, yet this information is imperative for understanding potential risks from overconsumption of sugars in early life. We determined actual sugar content by conducting a blinded laboratory analysis in infant formulas, breakfast cereals, pack...

the use of chlorophyll fluorescence (chlf) technique was evaluated on nondestructive measurement of sugar content during fruit development. multivariate models, principal component analysis (pca), and partial least-squares regression (plsr), were developed for the classification and prediction of fructose, glucose, and sucrose in fig fruits. the results of this study showed a significant correl...

QTL mapping in autopolyploids is complicated by the possibility of segregation for three or more alleles at a locus and by a lack of preferential pairing, however the subset of polymorphic alleles that show simplex segregation ratios can be used to locate QTLs. In autopolyploid Saccharum, 36 significant associations between variation in sugar content and unlinked loci detected by 31 different p...

the sugar beet weevil, lixus incanescens boh., is an important insect pest of sugar beet, beta vulgaris l., in razavi khorasan province. in this research, population densities of the sugar beet weevil eggs and larvae were evaluated on plants of six sugar beet cultivars including ardabili, aras, persia, flores, laetitia and rosire in an experimental field in 2011 and 2012. also, the percentage o...

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 ...

The carbohydrate contents of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important industrial factor for crystal sugar or bioethanol production. In this study the relationship between growth analysis and carbohydrate contents were studied to recognize the best growth stages for sweet sorghum harvesting. Five sweet sorghum cultivars and four sweet sorghum lines were evaluated for leaf area i...

to determine the effects of different irrigation and salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted for two years (2006-07)at torogh agricultural research center, mashhad, iran, using two sprinkler systems. each of the two irrigation systems was connected to two water sources with 1 and 6 ds/m salinity. irrigation was performed via two sprinkler...
