Methods for the determination of galactose in the presence of other sugars by differential fermentation with yeast have been used since 1914. Kluyver (1914) observed that certain strains of yeast ferment galactose and developed a method of measuring fermentable sugars by carbon dioxide evolution. Hopkins, Peterson, and Fred (1930) employed a modification in which they measured residual reducing...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of lime application on the mass and sugar losses reduction from 2004 to 2005 in karaj. four lime concentrations of 0, 3, 4 and 5 percent (factor a) and storage durations of 30 and 60 days (factor b) were arranged as factorial experiment in rcbd with four replications. the commercial variety of shirin was drilled in early may and storage roots w...

Reducing sugar intake is a major public health goal but many consumers are reluctant to use low calorie sweeteners. Two studies were conducted in healthy adults aged 18 to 65 to investigate whether addition of culinary spices to foods reduced in sugar could preserve hedonic liking. Test foods, black tea, oatmeal, and apple crisp, were prepared in full sugar (FS), reduced sugar (RS), and reduced...

A reduction of the blood sugar content, analogous to that produced by insulin, was noted by Blotner and Murphy (1) after administration of whole liver and certain of the liver fractions ineffective in the treatment of pernicious anemia. Fractions G, an effective liver extract prepared by Cohn and his collaborators (2), appeared to contain little if any blood sugar reducing substances. An observ...

The Present experiment entitled “Postharvest Impact of Different sugar levels on Dragon fruit Candy” was conducted during year 2022 at the Post Harvest Laboratory in Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj. objective this research work to analyze proximate composition dragon (Hylocereus undatus) and stan...

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-...

In the manufacture of beet sugar, improving discharge water quality is a key objective for effective reuse of water for irrigation purposes. Problems associated with the discharge water includes generation of odors from biogenic hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, sludge buildup in ponds used for water retention and treatment due to precipitation of metal sulfides, and inadequate water discharge qual...

Incorporation of sugarcane industry by-products into soil can reduce the susceptibility soils to compaction. However, significance incorporated filter cake and compost at different water contents time compaction using proctor test load is not well documented. In this context, study was conducted three Ethiopian sugar Estates in 2017 examine effect incorporation clay content on maximum dry densi...

Seven commercial brands of malt drinks were analyzed for reducing sugar, protein, minerals, vitamins A, vitamin C, oxalate, phytate and hydrogen cyanide. The malt drinks were found to contain substantial amounts of reducing sugar ranging from 603.66 to 943.45 mg/dl. Vitamins A and C were present in adequate amounts with respect to RDA requirements, whereas, low values were found for protein, ir...
