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 ...

Abstract There is a need to develop low-sugar healthy products. The aim of this research was evaluate the effect maltitol and inulin as sucrose replacement alongside resistant starch (RS) green banana flour (GBF) on texture physical properties gluten-free doughs biscuits formulated with buckwheat, sorghum lentil flours. These are important predict dough workability, how easy could be mass-produ...

OBJECTIVE Fresh sugarcane has been a new roughage source for ruminant's in semiarid regions, a function of the decline of sugar and alcohol industry in recent years. However, there is little data published regarding lambs fed sugarcane associated with spineless cactus. This study evaluated the effect of sugarcane replacement with spineless cactus (0%, 33%, 66%, and 100%) in the diet of Santa In...

analogues is true as exemplified by the studies focused upon the use of sugar conjugation: glycosylated compounds can greatly enhance drug solubility (upto >2 folds) and enhance uptake in vitro [7]. As the motive in various modifications of flavonoids is to increase the stability and biological activity, and most of the glycosylated products showed only the increase in solubility and lack of pr...

Sugar is an important commodity in the African context, and there are numerous challenges and opportunities that exist in Africa for that industry. Africa is quite a big place and it encompasses a large number of different countries, cultures, weather patterns and soil variety. I will restrict my presentation to the area which is know as the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which ...

xylitol is the first rare sugar that has global market due to having beneficial health properties and being an alternative to current conventional sweeteners. biotechnological production of xylitol by candida tropicalis dsm 7524 as an alternative to chemical method for the fermentation of xylose to xylitol was studied. banana peel was used as a substrate for xylitol production. hydrolysate was ...

Single cell protein (SCP) is a good source of essential amino acids. This study aimed to utilize some date by-products such as fruit flesh produce single protein.  Fruit three unknown dates and varieties were used by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC64712 under different condition (sugar concentrations in the extract media, temperatures pH values). The results showed that optimum production biomass...

in this research, stevia and inulin was used as sugar and fat replacer in dietetic ice cream formulation, respectively. ice cream formulation with stevia (0-100%) and inulin (0-85%) was optimizedusing response surface methodology.dependent variables included specific gravity (sg), viscosity, overrun, first drop and melting. the results showed that sg had converse relation with replacing stevia ...

Fiji’s agricultural sector, and within it, the sugar industry, has been the driving force behind the country’s development. The sugar industry, however, is facing a number of challenges of which production efficiency is one of them. This paper examines farm productivity, efficiency and profitability in the industry. It suggests that without improving farm level efficiency and productivity the i...

yog-ice cream (frozen yogurt), is a kind of frozen dessert which has similar features to ice cream in physical and appearance characteristics. recently, there has been a growing interest in using frozen yogurt due to existence of lactic acid bacteria & fermentation processing. besides, yog-ice cream contains lower levels of sugar, fat & emulsifiers than ice cream. this research was conducted to...
