invert sugar is the result of sucrose of hydrolysis of sucrose by acid or enzyme, that is, the splitting of sucrose molecules into their glucose and fructose components.invert sugar is used in different industries such as; food industry, soft drinks and pharmaceutical, due to its special characteristics such as; sweetness level, moisture ability’s property, crystallization level and special tas...

Background: Despite the popularity of ice cream, its high content of sugar and fat is worrisome. Substituting sugar with natural and useful resources is one possible solution. Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) are rich in carbohydrates and are a good source of energy; they also have a large amount of phenolic compounds and anthocyanin. Aims: The aim of this ...

the aim of the study was to evaluate changes of sorbitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and total sugars of plum fruits in different years under different climatic conditions i.e. air temperature and precipitation. the cultivars investigated in the research were: topstar, toptaste, jojo, haganta, tophit, and top 2000. the fruits were harvested at optimal stage of maturity in the experimental orch...

date syrup, date concentrate and date liquid sugar are among the products which are produced from low quality dates in date processing plants. the aim of this research was to investigate chemical characteristics and sensory properties of date syrup, date concentrate and date liquid sugar in comparison with sugar (sucrose) solutions and evaluate possible substitution of sucrose with these date b...

Highly added sugar diets have been associated with various health problems such as dental caries, dyslipidemia, obesity and poor quality of life. Unfortunately, sugar consumption, especially sucrose, has increased continuously worldwide. The purpose of the study was to examine sources of sugar consumption and amount of added sucrose consumed in Thai undergraduate students. This study was carrie...

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...

Sugar content and composition are major criteria used in judging the quality of netted muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var reticulatus) fruit. Sugar composition and four enzymes of sucrose metabolism were determined in ;Magnum 45' muskmelon fruit at 10-day intervals beginning 10 days after pollination (DAP) until full-slip (35 DAP). Sugar content increased in both outer (green) mesocarp and inner (o...

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%),...

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...
