In this present work authors undertook an investigation on glucose, artificial sweetener and saccharin. This study compared the reality of the claimed sugar free nature of commercial artificial sweetener. A molecular level investigation is carried out by using FTIR spectroscopy and optical polarization experiment. The result obtained show that the sugar content of the artificial sweetener is su...

The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between sugars and vitamin C in fruit. The objective was to determine whether vitamin C content was regulated by sugar content due to the role of sugar as a precursor for vitamin C. During summer, maximal content in sugar and vitamin C were found in both genotypes tested Solanum lycopersicon 'Cervil' and 'Levovil'. During autumn, fruit pruning...

eight pollinators (as pollen parents) and four cms lines (as seed parents) differing in salinity and drought tolerance were evaluated using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers. root yield, leaf weight, sugar content, sodium content (na+), potassium content (k+), a-amino nitrogen content, alkalinity coefficient, molasses sugar, white sugar content, extraction coefficient of suga...

general combining ability of sugar beet parents were determined for different quantity and quality characteristics.forty six sugar beet hybrids obtained from crosses of 23 diploid pollinators with two male sterile parents as tester together with three checks were evaluated for 10 important agronomic and technological characters at kamalshar research station in karaj in 2004.experiment was carri...

Sweetpotato has rich nutrition, good ecological adaptability and high yield. There is a lack of knowledge about the effects of cooking methods on starch and sugar components in elite Chinese cultivars. In this study, sweetpotato storage roots from four cultivars "Xinxiang", "Jinyu", "Zimei" and "Yuzishu 263" were treated by baking, boiling and steaming and subsequently analyzed for starch conte...

Visible light imaging of citrus fruit from Mie Prefecture of Japan was performed to determine whether an algorithm could be developed to predict the sugar content. This nondestructive classification showed that the accurate segmentation of different images can be realized by a correlation analysis based on the threshold value of the coefficient of determination. There is an obvious correlation ...
