Abstract Growing citrus involves cultural treatments such as girdling and foliar potassium treatment to increase fruit size, yield quality. The aim of the study was evaluate effects single double stem girdling, nitrate (KNO 3 ) on leaves combinations these yield, size quality characteristics, leaf chlorophyll concentration nitrogen content, fluorescence (PSII) sugar content ‘Fremont’ mandarin v...

Onion and shallot (Allium cepa L.) exhibit wide variation in bulb fructan content, and the Frc locus on chromosome 8 conditions much of this variation. To understand the biochemical basis of Frc, we conducted biochemical and genetic analyses of Allium fistulosum (FF)-shallot (A. cepa Aggregatum group) alien monosomic addition lines (AALs; FF+1A-FF+8A) and onion mapping populations. Sucrose and ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to investigate associations between sugar intake and overweight using dietary biomarkers in the Norfolk cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Norfolk). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING EPIC-Norfolk in the UK, recruitment between 1993 and 1997. SUBJECTS Men and women (n 1734) aged 39-77 year...

The radiation of 14C is very weak 14C+ 14N t PSucrose in first expressed juice and mixed juice was determined by isotope dilution and the results were compared with the conventional pol determination. i t was found that the sucrose content on the average was 0,25% higher using the ID method. Molasses samples, on the contrary, showed a sucrose content which was 0,71% lower than the value found b...

The entry of carbon from sucrose into cellular metabolism in plants can potentially be catalyzed by either sucrose synthase (SUS) or invertase (INV). These 2 routes have different implications for cellular metabolism in general and for the production of key metabolites, including the cell-wall precursor UDPglucose. To examine the importance of these 2 routes of sucrose catabolism in Arabidopsis...

The roots of barley plants (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Steptoe) were monitored before and after excision for net uptake of carbon dioxide, oxygen, ammonium, potassium, nitrate, and chloride and for their content of sucrose, glucose, fructose, and malic acid. All fluxes began to attenuate within 2 hours after excision. Net potassium uptake returned to control levels 6 hours after excision, but carbon...

The effects of sucrose on the physical properties of cassava starch aqueous systems were investigated at varied concentrations of cassava starch (5-15% w/w) and sucrose (0-40% w/w). The peak viscosity and the final viscosity during a gelatinization-retrogradation cycle were determined based on a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA) test. Sucrose generally increased the viscosity values, while such increm...

The effects of selected nonionic emulsifiers on the physicochemical characteristics of astaxanthin nanodispersions produced by an emulsification/evaporation technique were studied. The emulsifiers used were polysorbates (Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 40, Polysorbate 60 and Polysorbate 80) and sucrose esters of fatty acids (sucrose laurate, palmitate, stearate and oleate). The mean particle diamet...

Probiotic drinks are that contain a number of probiotic bacteria in the drink. have good taste, fresh and safe to consume distinctive aroma according ingredients used. This research was conducted determine effect addition sucrose on characteristics drink made from pineapple peel extract supplemented with Lactobacillus casei. study used different concentrations sucrose, were 0%; 40%; 60%; 120% v...

The Sugar Research Institute (SRI) in Australia provided the SMRI with a Sucrose Analyser for evaluation. Although the Sucrose Analyser is designed for online measurement of sucrose concentrations, this application describes the direct measurement of sucrose in factory streams in a laboratory environment. The Sucrose Analyser provides a quick and cost effective way of estimating the sucrose con...
