The present study aimed to formulate sucrose-replaced samples with natural or synthetic sweeteners, and benchmark the temporal sensory profile of a control sample (100% sucrose). Acesulfame-K, aspartame, erythritol, rebaudioside M, sucralose replaced sucrose at four different levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) in aqueous solutions. A trained panel evaluated check-all-that-apply. sweeteners showed gre...

Natural rubber is synthesized as rubber particles in the latex, the fluid cytoplasm of laticifers, of Hevea brasiliensis. Although it has been found that natural rubber is biosynthesized through the mevalonate pathway, the involvement of an alternative 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway is uncertain. We obtained all series of the MEP pathway candidate genes by analyzing expressed...

The relationship between matrix volume and the amount of light scattered by a mitochondrial suspension has been characterized for equilibrium measurements and shown to depend in a complex but predictable manner on native structure of the mitochondrion (Beavis, A. D., Brannan, R. D., and Garlid, K. D. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260,13424-13433). In thepresent report, we show that this characterizatio...

Solanesol is a noncyclic terpene alcohol composed of nine isoprene units and it mainly accumulates in solanaceous plants, especially tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Here, RNA-seq analyses of tobacco leaves, stems, and roots were used to identify solanesol biosynthesis genes. Six 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase, two 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase, two 2-C-methyl-D-erythr...

An efficient 1,2-deoxygenation method, involving an unexpected mechanism, was found for simple diols and for biomass-derived polyols (glycerol and erythritol) that results in the conversion of the 1,2-dihydroxy group to a carbon-carbon double bond.

The four six-membered rings all adopt chair conformations in the two independent mol-ecules of the title cyclo-hexa-none cyclic diacetal with penta-erythritol, C(17)H(28)O(4).

This study reports the selective obtaining of butanediols (BDO), widely used in polymer and synthetic rubber industry, by C?O hydrogenolysis erythritol. The effect support on catalytic activity selectivity to BDO was exhaustively studied using Ir/ReOx catalysts supported SiO2, Al2O3, activated carbon, CeO2, TiO2 ZrO2. were thoroughly characterized it found that physicochemical, redox acidic pro...

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of selected compounds from the polyol group, as well as other saccharides, on the osmotic dehydration process of apples. The following alternative solutions were examined: erythritol, xylitol, maltitol, inulin and oligofructose. Efficiency of the osmotic dehydration process was evaluated based on the kinetics of the process, and through comparis...

Various chemical compounds, including surfactants, when introduced to culture media may increase the permeability of cellular membranes and thereby affect the quantity of metabolites excreted by cells. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of detergents including Triton X-100, Span 20 and Tween 80 on erythritol production from glycerol by Yarrowia lipolytica Wratislavia K1 in ...
