Beekeeping, otherwise known as apiculture is a lucrative business providing supplementary or major income to the people in rural areas. Honey has certain health benefits, with its nutritional composition closely similar fruits and natural sweetener. Honeybees are also good pollinator gives valued products such beewax, propolis, bee venom, etc. However, for commercial beekeeping, selection of sp...

There is a growing interest and increasing awareness of consumers towards natural food products, therefore there shift in industry to produce foods with ingredients. On the other hand, high amount sweetener use another health concern. An interesting group sweeteners are sweet proteins, which have hundreds/thousands times higher sweetness than sucrose. Sweet proteins but low calorie values as th...

Soft beverages based on rice (“rice milk”) are hypoallergenic, increase immunity, supply the body with energy, and normalize nervous system. Earlier, we developed soft beverage recipes boiled filtrate, green (black) tea water concentrate, stevia extract as a natural sweetener. Physico-chemical analysis of content micronutrients in rice-tea was carried out. Comparative vitamins E (alpha-tocopher...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the degree of suppression of the perceived bitterness of quinine by various substances and to examine the mechanism of bitterness suppression. The following compounds were tested for their ability to suppress bitterness: sucrose, a natural sweetener; aspartame, a noncaloric sweetener; sodium chloride (NaCl) as the electrolyte; phosphatidic acid, a comme...

Gustatory transduction mechanisms for sucrose and amino acid sweeteners in gerbil taste cells were studied with Ca2+ imaging and whole cell recording techniques. A 100 mM sucrose stimulus with Ca2+ increased the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in sweet-sensitive taste cells of the taste bud, but the sucrose stimulus without Ca2+ did not change the [Ca2+]i. A 10 mM D-phenylalanine swe...

the effects of some synthetic sweeteners on the rheological and physical properties of guar gum in dilute solutions were investigated.measurements include the determination of intrinsic viscosity and the particle size, surface weighted mean [d3, 2], volume weighted mean [d4,3] and specificsurface area ofguar gum andsyntheticsweeteners mixtures. the concentration of these sweeteners were 0, 0.1,...
