There is evidence that sweeteners such as sucrose and saccharin interact with endogenous opioid systems. Further research has shown that feeding different concentrations of sucrose and saccharin alter latency in the tail-flick test. In this study, the influence of a 12-day regimen of different sweetening agents, sucrose (32%), saccharin (0.08%) and aspartame (0.16%) on morphine-induced analge...

The present study aimed to formulate sucrose-replaced samples with natural or synthetic sweeteners, and benchmark the temporal sensory profile of a control sample (100% sucrose). Acesulfame-K, aspartame, erythritol, rebaudioside M, sucralose replaced sucrose at four different levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) in aqueous solutions. A trained panel evaluated check-all-that-apply. sweeteners showed gre...

Contrasting evidence has accumulated regarding the role of acid invertase and sucrose synthase in tomato fruit sink establishment and maintenance. In this work the relationships among the activities of sucrose synthase and acid invertase, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv UC-82B fruit growth, and starch accumulation were analyzed in fruit at 0 to 39 d after anthesis. Sucrose synthase, but not aci...

Sucrose cleavage is an essential reaction for higher plant cells to initiate intermediary metabolism and to direct its carbon into the host of essential compounds derived therefrom for maintaining the cells of intact plants. Indeed critical cellular events during their lifetime, such as cell division or growth, are not initiated in the absence of sucrose. As the primary form of systemically tra...

Fruits of orange-fleshed and green-fleshed muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) were harvested at different times throughout development to evaluate changes in metabolism which lead to sucrose accumulation, and to determine the basis of differences in fruit sucrose accumulation among genotypes. Concentrations of sucrose, raffinose saccharides, hexoses and starch, as well as activities of the sucrose met...

Sucrose-metabolizing enzymes in plant leaves have hitherto been investigated mainly in temperate plants, and rarely conducted in tandem with gene expression and sugar analysis. Here, we investigated the sugar content, gene expression, and the activity of sucrose-metabolizing enzymes in the leaves of Hevea brasiliensis, a tropical tree widely cultivated for natural rubber. Sucrose, fructose and ...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) boll positions on a fruiting branch vary in their contribution to yield and fiber quality. Fiber properties are dependent on deposition of cellulose in the fiber cell wall, but information about the enzymatic differences in sucrose metabolism between these fruiting positions is lacking. Therefore, two cotton cultivars with different sensitivities to low temperatur...

the tuberose cut flower is much less longevity in postharvest. the less vase life due to stress of deficit carbohydrate and quick respiration on inflorescence. in this study, effectiveness factors, sucrose, cacl2, al2so4 and re-cut the stems. in current research two separate experiments were arranged as a factorial based on compeletly randomized design. the first experiment were added to all ex...

Orally dispersive tablets are solid dosage forms that dissolve in the mouth within 10 to 30 seconds, enabling waterless ingestion. The tablet dissolves quickly due its fast breakdown, which also causes effects start acting quickly. ODTs can help patients with a variety of conditions, including pediatrics, geriatrics, psychosis, dysphagia, bedridden discomfort, comatose patients, young undevelop...
