Fructose is utilized as a common sweetener in many food industries. Today, a large amount of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup, an equilibrium mixture of glucose and fructose) is produced by glucose isomerase, immobilized enzymes from corn starch. There are a lot of date palms in Iran. Date is a favorable source of carbohydrates, and a suitable source for HFDS (high fructose date syrup) production...

high fructose corn syrup (hfcs) is commonly found in soft drinks and juice beverages, as well as in many pre-packaged foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods and dairy desserts. historically, sucrose (table sugar) was primarily added to processed foods and beverages as the sweetening agent. in recent years, the use of hfcs has significantly increased in popularity due to its sweetness, abi...

Date palm fruit is consumed as fresh fruit or processed to produce date paste and date syrup. Date syrup (DS) a natural sweetener contains mainly glucose and fructose and used with different food products. The effect of substituting sucrose with different level of DS (0, 25, 50 and 100%) on the physiochemical and sensory properties of ice cream were investigated. The overrun increased with incr...

Background & Aims: Date syrup is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants. In addition, fructose is the predominant sugar in date syrup, which elevates blood glucose at a slower pace than the other types of sugar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic response of healthy persons to dietetic sour cherry jam prepared with date syrup. Methods: In this clinical trial, the glycemi...

Mercury cell chlor-alkali products are used to produce thousands of other products including food ingredients such as citric acid, sodium benzoate, and high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is used in food products to enhance shelf life. A pilot study was conducted to determine if high fructose corn syrup contains mercury, a toxic metal historically used as an anti-microbial. High ...

The food industry has long known that "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way." And cane sugar had been America's most delightful sweetener of choice, that is, until the 1970s, when the much less expensive corn-derived sweeteners like maltodextrin and high-fructose corn syrup were developed. While regular table sugar (sucrose) is 50% fructose and 50% glucose, ...

ultrafiltration (uf) was used for decolorization of an industrial iranian date syrup. experimental results were obtained by using two different concentrations of the date syrup (40 and 50 °brix) and two different membrane pore sizes (15-20 and 30-50 kda molecular weight cut-off values) under different trans-membrane pressures (tmp: 40, 70, 110 and 150 psi). the membrane with a pore size of 15-2...

US domestic sugar prices have been maintained substantially above world prices engendering sugar substitutes (notably high fructose corn syrup, HFCS) to be sold at a discount to sugar Ð a discount of 10 Ð 30% (Greer, 1991; USDA, 1990). Sugar substitutes have been successful in capturing as much as 42% of the US caloric sweetener market by 1984 (Leu, Schmitz and Knutson, 1987). This paper invest...
