Here we report synergistic and antagonistic mixture interactions between sucrose, vanillin, cocoa powder as a potential added sugar reduction strategy in chocolate milk. Objectives of this project were to (i) model consumer perception relevant sensory attributes function milk, (ii) test for the presence synergistic, additive, via isobole method, (iii) determine acceptance these samples with bot...

Lawlor, D. W., Boyle, F. A., Young, A. T., Kendall, A. C. and Keys, A. J. 1987. Nitrate nutrition and temperature effects on wheat: Soluble components of leaves and carbon fluxes to amino acids and sucrose.—J. exp. Bot. 38: 1091-1103. Amounts of some metabolites and the incorporation of '*CO2 into photosynthetic products were measured in the third leaf of wheat, grown with two rates of nitrate ...

This paper reports the possibility of monitoring the sweetener content in the leaves of Stevia Rebaudiana and root extract of Ginseng using FT-IR, micro-Raman and SERS techniques. Fingerprint analysis is a direct, fast, nondestructive and effective method to discriminate and identify different species. Ginseng root contains ginsengoside saponin about 4% and other active compounds such as D-gluc...

Possessing putative hypolipidemic effects, Teucrium polium (TP) have been traditionally used as a medicinal plant in Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate this effect on the sucrose-induced insulin resistance male rat model. Thirty Wistar male rats weighting 180 ± 20 g were divided into five groups of six each. Four groups were given sucrose 50% in drinking water for 10 weeks. I...

Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is considered the first key enzyme for secondary growth because it is a highly regulated cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP into UDP-glucose and fructose. Although SuSy enzymes preferentially functions in the direction of sucrose cleavage at most cellular condition, they also catalyze the synthetic reaction. We isolated a gene th...

Contrasting evidence has accumulated regarding the role of acid invertase and sucrose synthase in tomato fruit sink establishment and maintenance. In this work the relationships among the activities of sucrose synthase and acid invertase, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv UC-82B fruit growth, and starch accumulation were analyzed in fruit at 0 to 39 d after anthesis. Sucrose synthase, but not aci...

Isoamylases hydrolyse (1-6)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in starch and are involved in both starch granule formation and starch degradation. In plants, three isoamylase isoforms with distinct functions in starch synthesis (ISA1 and ISA2) and degradation (ISA3) have been described. Here, we created transgenic potato plants with simultaneously decreased expression of all three isoamylases using a ...
