As carbohydrates, sugars play many important roles in our food. They are a source of calories and, in addition to sweetening, perform many essential technical functions both in processed foods and in foods prepared in the home. However, the complex terminology used to describe sugars can be confusing. Communications regarding the definitions of various sugars, the role of sugars in our food and...

Effective and economical carbon dioxide-methane separation (CO2/CH4) is highly desirable in several industries such as sweetening natural gases renewable gas (RNG) from biogas landfills. Among the different technologies, membrane has been shown to have lower cost of production CH4 losses. In this study, Zeolitic Imidazole Frameworks (ZIF-8) crystals with sizes varying 45 nm 450 were synthesized...

Six sweet and five nonsweet simple nonglycosidic dihydrochalcones were prepared, two of which have properties comparable to those of the intensely sweet neohesperidin dihydrochalcone.

One of the alternatives to reduce CO2 emissions from industrial sources (mainly oil and gas industry) is capture. Absorption with chemical solvents (alkanolamines in aqueous solutions) most widely used conventional technology for Despite competitive advantages solvents, technological challenge improving absorption process apply alternative reducing energy demand increasing captured per unit sol...

Some methods for examining the additivity of sweeteners, and their synergy in mixtures depend upon setting component concentrations on the basis of sweetness equivalence, usually to a sucrose reference. These methods may under- or over-predict the sweetness of a mixture, leading to spurious claims of synergy or mixture suppression. This paper points out one problem with one such popular method,...
