Sugar labeling: How numerical information of sugar content influences healthiness and tastiness expectations

Sugar Content in Artificial Sweetener

In this present work authors undertook an investigation on glucose, artificial sweetener and saccharin. This study compared the reality of the claimed sugar free nature of commercial artificial sweetener. A molecular level investigation is carried out by using FTIR spectroscopy and optical polarization experiment. The result obtained show that the sugar content of the artificial sweetener is su...

Sugar and sugar products.

Emphasis over the past year has been on editorial effort to bring Chapter 44, Sugar and Sugar Products of the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL (OMA) to the high standards set for the 17th Edition of the compendium. In addition, 2 method studies were reported and subjected to peer review, respectively, dealing with detection of adulteration of maple syrup by beet or cane sugar ...

A Comparative Study Concerning Linear and Nonlinear Models to Determine Sugar Content in Sugar Beet by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR)

This paper reports on the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Partial Least Squareregression (PLS) combined with NIR spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. In this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. Three pre-processing methods, including Multiplic...

Determining total sugar content in maple syrup to meet FDA nutrition labeling requirements

Nutrition labels on food items provide valuable information to consumers. To ensure authenticity, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) checks the reported values on the nutrition labels. This Application Note shows a total sugar analysis method for commercially available maple syrup using the Agilent 1260 Infinity Binary LC system coupled with the Agilent 1260 Infinity Refractive Index Detect...
