Progress of Sugar Adulteration

Structure and function of nucleotide sugar transporters: Current progress

The proteomes of eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea are highly diverse due, in part, to the complex post-translational modification of protein glycosylation. The diversity of glycosylation in eukaryotes is reliant on nucleotide sugar transporters to translocate specific nucleotide sugars that are synthesised in the cytosol and nucleus, into the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus where glyc...

Adulteration of Milk

Adulteration of Quinine

Sir,?Perhaps many of yours readers are aware of the fact that adulteration of quinine was in vogue even before the war. Now that during the war its price has increased enormously, this indiscriminate adulteration is going on in a larger scale. In the mofussil one ounce of quinine, Quinine (Herrings & Co.) sells for Its. 2-8, while the same quantity of the adulterated one can be had for Rs. 1-2....

Adulteration of Human Milk

The necessity for testing human milk destined for milk banks in order to eliminate specimens which have been adulterated with water or cow's milk has been widely recognized since the introduction of such banks in 1910 (Mackintosh, 1947). In some centres, however, no tests for adulteration seem to be used, in spite of the fact that the mothers providing milk for these banks are not supervised be...

Adulteration in Rose oil

The genus Rosa Linn. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in the temperate parts of the northern hemisphere and on tropical mountains. About 20 species and hundreds of varieties have been recorded in India in wild state and many have been introduced for cultivation as ornamentals. Mostly hybrid varieties exhibit a marked fragrance and are suitable for the extraction of Rose water and Rose oil (atta...
