Rheological properties of waxy barley flour (WBF) dispersions mixed with various gums (carboxyl methyl celluleose, guar gum, gum arabic, konjac gum, locust bean gum, tara gum, and xanthan gum) at different gum concentrations were examined in steady and dynamic shear. WBF-gum mixture samples showed a clear trend of shear-thinning behavior and had a non-Newtonian nature with yield stress. Rheolog...

Consuming sugar-free Red Bull energy drink before exercise has become increasingly popular among exercising individuals. The main purported active ingredient in sugar-free Red Bull is caffeine, which has been shown to increase aerobic exercise performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of sugar-free Red Bull energy drink on high-intensity run time-to-exhaustion in young...

chemical denaturation and thermal denaturation of13-lactoglobulin a (f3 — lga) in the absenceand presence of various concentrations sugar osmolytes and polyols were measured bymonitoring changes in the absorption coefficients at ph 2.0. it has been observed that agd°(h20), (gibbs free energy change in absence of denaturant at 25 °c) of f3-1ga in the presenceof 10% (w/v) trehalose, sucrose, sorb...

In the last 20 years, mainly due to optimum fluoride exposure, and practice of good oral hygiene procedures, an important reduction in caries has been observed, despite the fact that sugar consumption was maintained and/or was increasing during the same lapse of time. A sugar-caries relationship cannot be established in most of the industrialized countries and the dietary factor is not as prepo...

Everted sacs of rat proximal small intestine were used to determine the effect of guar gum (5 g/l) on the uptake of cholesterol (0.1 mM) from a solution of micelles. The uptake of cholesterol was found to be linear both in the presence and absence of guar gum. When guar was present throughout the whole of the incubation medium, the uptake of cholesterol was reduced to approximately 40% of contr...

The free carbohydrates of the lens are discussed, with particular attention to the normal concentrations. Simple sugar derivatives such as the sugar alcohols are similarly treated. Such metabolic intermediates as the sugar phosphates and the more complex adenosine derivatives are mentioned, as are structural components containing sugar moieties. Experimental procedures, such as special diets, i...

The present study was aimed to compare the photoautotrophic (PAM) and photomixotrophic micropropagation (PMM) of three potato cultivars (Hermes, Rosetta and Asterix). Cultures were initiated from single node explants and established in MS basal medium with some modifications. Potato plantlets responded in sugar-free media although sugar-containing media (PMM1 and PMM2) performed better as compa...
