Allium cepa L. is a widely cultivated and economically significant vegetable crop worldwide, with beneficial dietary and health-related properties, but its sucrose metabolism is still poorly understood. To analyze sucrose metabolism during bulb swelling, and the development of sweet taste in onion, a global transcriptome profile of onion bulbs was undertaken at three different developmental sta...

The study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels added sucrose on fermentation quality and microbial community kudzu (Pueraria lobata) silage. three supplementation utilized were 0, 0.5, 1.0%, was silaged for 15, 30, 60 days. Sucrose significantly decreased pH levels, acid detergent fiber, ammonia nitrogen content, relative abundance Pantoea in silages (p < 0.05). addition 1% s...

Seeds that lose viability when dried to a water content of less than 12% are said to be recalcitrant. We subjected acorns of Quercus alba L., a species with recalcitrant seeds, to desiccation to determine the effects of drying on lipids, proteins and carbohydrates of the embryonic axis and cotyledon tissues. Samples of fresh seed and seed dried for selected intervals were analyzed for water con...

in this study, response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize osmo-dehydration of orange slice. effect of osmotic solution temperature in the range of 30 to 60 °c, immersion time from 0 to 300 min and sucrose concentration from 35 to 65 brix degree on water loss, solid gain, moisture content, water loss to solid gain ratio and brix change were investigated by central composite design (...

The moisture sorption behavior of freeze-dried amorphous sucrose was investigated using a dynamic humidity generating instrument, the Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) instrument. The kinetic moisture sorption profiles of freeze-dried amorphous sucrose samples with 29% crystalline content were obtained using the DVS instrument at 9 relative humidity (RH) values, ranging from 10% to 90%, at 25 degree...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...

The caries-inducing activity of palatinose (isomaltulose, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-1,6-fructose) was examined in in vitro and in vivo experiments, comparing it with other carbohydrates. When Streptococcus mutans was successively subcultured in a broth medium containing 1% palatinose, the strains belonging to serotype a, d, or g did not ferment palatinose, whereas the strains belonging to serotype...

I. Healthy young men ate diets high in carbohydrate with a fixed protein content: (a) 18 % protein with maize starch, (b ) 18% protein with sucrose, (c) 9% protein with sucrose. Sucrose or starch was given at a level of 7 g/kg body-weight per day. 2. The serum albumin concentration fell by 7-10% after 16 days with all three diets; the falls were statistically significant. No change in y-globuli...

the aim of this research was to improve postharvest quality and vase life of tuberose cut flowers. treatments in this experiment included: distilled water, 3% ethanol and 5% sucrose as control, thyme oil in 3 levels (50, 75 and 100 mg/l), accel in 3 level (25, 50 and 75 mg/l) and for some of flowers pulsing with 5% sucrose in first 24 hours then puting cut flowers treated with sucrose in thyme ...

The vast majority of preload-test-meal studies that have investigated the effects on energy intake of disguised nutrient or other food/drink ingredient manipulations have used a cross-over design. We argue that this design may underestimate the effect of the manipulation due to carry-over effects. To test this we conducted comparable cross-over (n = 69) and parallel-groups (n = 48) studies test...
