Prior work has shown that sweet taste-deficient T1R3 knockout (KO) mice developed significant sucrose preferences when given long-term sugar versus water tests. The current study investigated the role of olfaction in this experience-conditioned sucrose preference. T1R3 KO and C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice were given 24-h sugar versus water tests with ascending concentrations of sucrose (0.5-32%),...

Abstract Robusta beans have a bitter taste, sour and high caffeine content. coffee contains 2.2 percent caffeine, while Arabica 1.2 caffeine. The level in the can be lowered through decaffeinated process. Optimal extraction from requires heating via However, temperatures long times reduce flavor due to degradation of flavor-forming compounds, resulting with weak flavor. This research aimed enha...

Technical-grade oleic acid esters of sucrose and fructose were prepared using solvent-free biocatalysis at 65 ̋C, without any downstream purification applied, and their physicochemical and bioactivity-related properties were evaluated and compared to a commercially available sucrose laurate emulsifier. To increase the conversion of sucrose and fructose oleate, prepared previously using solvent-...

The postharvest vase life of cut roses was studied to determine the effects of various physiological factors that influence the vase life of cut flower. Cut roses were obtained from commercial area of Siliguri. To assess the effect of preservatives on the postharvest life of rose, cut flowers were treated with following preservative solutions: fixed amount of citric acid (CA) (300 mg/ml) and 8-...

Sugar-based confectionery products have a historical basis for many cultures and sugar-based confectionery, especially soft candies, has increased in popularity recent years. Optimizing well-designed candy is important to meet consumer expectations, which includes ingredient information about water, sucrose, corn syrup various kinds of sugar substitutes, gelling agent alternatives. For instance...

objective: although the most useful method to reduce mechanical dental plaque is brushing and flossing, but due to the lack of adequate effectiveness achieved by these methods, the use of other methods such as replacing sweeteners, including xylitol and sorbitol with sucrose in products such as chewing gums have come into the focus of attention. this research was done aimed at examine the effec...

This may come as a surprise, but honey actually contains the same basic units as table sugar. Both types of sweet stuff contain sucrose, fructose, and glucose, but honey contains a higher proportion of fructose compared to glucose. There's also a difference in nutrient content ? honey has trace amounts of enzymes, amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. However, they?re in such low...

Background & Aim:   Changes in lifestyle, decrease in physical exercise along with incidence of obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases indicate a need for low calorie formulations. The sweetness of Stevia, a natural sweetener, is estimated to be 300 times as much as that of sugar. Extraction of stevia leaves is considered a promoter of calorie balance and a beneficial part of a healt...

The roots of barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Steptoe) were monitored before and after excision for net uptake of carbon dioxide, oxygen, ammonium, potassium, nitrate, and chloride and for their content of sucrose, glucose, fructose, and malic acid. All fluxes began to attenuate within 2 hours after excision. Net potassium uptake returned to control levels 6 hours after excision, but carbon...
