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...

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) has been used for centuries to minimize color in food processing and fruit and vegetable storage. In the sugar industry, it is used routinely by sugar beet processors to reduce and prevent color formation in white refined sugar. Sugarcane processors throughout the world use SO2 to produce plantation white sugars. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of SO2 on ...

Laurate (C 12 )-sucrose esters are established intestinal epithelial permeation enhancers (PEs) with potential for use in oral delivery. Most studies have examined blends of ester rather than specific monoesters, little variation on the sugar moiety. To investigate influence varying moiety monoester performance, we compared three monoesters: C -sucrose, -lactose, and -trehalose. The assays were...

The proton-sucrose symporter mediates the key transport step in the resource distribution system that allows many plants to function as multicellular organisms. In the results reported here, we identify sucrose as a signaling molecule in a previously undescribed signal-transduction pathway that regulates the symporter. Sucrose symporter activity declined in plasma membrane vesicles isolated fro...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the possible topical effect of a broad-spectrum antibiotic on dental biofilm formed in situ in the absence or presence of sucrose. METHODS A crossover study was conducted in three phases of 14 days each, during which 11 volunteers wore palatal devices containing 6 enamel blocks covered with meshes to allow biofilm formation. Dental blocks were extraor...

Phosphorus (P) is considered an elementary mineral nutrient for plants. Nevertheless, excessive or deficit supply to the crop may cause negative changes at physiological level. Plants were cultivated in pots a growth chamber under increasing P concentration (P1 (0.5 mmol/L (control treatment)), P2 (1 mmol/L); P3 (2 P4 (4 P5 (6 mmol/L), and P6 (8 mmol/L)) solution 40 days. At end of experimental...

Replacing dietary starch with sugar has been reported to improve production in dairy cows. Two sets of 24 Holstein cows averaging 41 kg/d of milk were fed a covariate diet, blocked by days in milk, and randomly assigned in 2 phases to 4 groups of 6 cows each. Cows were fed experimental diets containing [dry matter (DM) basis]: 39% alfalfa silage, 21% corn silage, 21% rolled high-moisture shelle...

Background and Objective: Physical activity has long been associated with mental health. Nepeta menthoides is a native Iranian herb recently acknowledged for its anti-depressant properties. This study attempted to determine and compare the effects of swimming exercise and Nepeta menthoides on reserpine-induced depression in rats.Materials and Methods: Male rats (n=80) were assigned to 8 g...

cell in biological studies. The studies showed the good response of human sperm to cryobiologic assays. However, in farm animals because of different composition of the cell membrane and presence of more unsaturated fatty acid make sperm more sensitive to oxidative stress that is one the most important factors that can affect the sperm viability during cryopreservation. The aim of the present s...
