Glucose syrup is a valuable food ingredient produced by the hydrolysis of starch preferrably from maize. In this study, small-scale production process glucose wheat, maize and potato starches was investigated. Two-step ezymatic using ?–amylase amyloglucosidase for liquefaction saccharification, respectively, analyzed based on content final product. The optimization conditions conducted with dif...

BACKGROUND Provision of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-infected children is complicated using syrup formulations, which are costlier than tablets, harder to transport and store and difficult for health-workers to prescribe and caregivers to administer. Dispersible/crushable tablets may be more appropriate. We studied the acceptability of syrups and scored tablets among young children who...

Background: Honey has a lot of reputation because of its supposed medicinal properties. In this study, Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), sugars, and Fructose/Glucose ratio of honey in Bangladesh were assessed for adulteration and authenticity evaluation. Methods: Seventy honey samples collected from different districts of Bangladesh were analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for...

The treatment and management of acute cough due to common cold costs billions of dollars of healthcare expenditure and there is a growing opinion that a simple linctus containing glycerol with flavourings such as honey and lemon is a safe and effective treatment for acute cough in children and adults. Glycerol is a component of most cough syrups, and although it is often thought of only as a so...

The use of inulin-containing raw materials for the production glucose-fructose syrup helps to significantly reduce amount glucose in it, and increase proportion fructose 97%. purpose research is study process obtaining syrups by bioconversion inulin - containing materials-yacon. Depolymerization fructans carried out enzyme inulinase, which hydrolyzes polymer sucrose. object was yacon root veget...

During the synthesis of prebiotic carbohydrates such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), or isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOS), d-glucose is released a side-product transglycosylation process. It desirable to remove glucose from these sugar mixtures due its caloric contribution and effect on caries diabetes. In this work, we have investigated use immobilized Komagataell...

Blended cornstarch–xanthan gum systems were optimized for thickening of cocoa syrups. For this purpose the sensory (whole and partial), textural (force of penetration, adhesiveness and stringiness) and rheological properties (flow curves as well as viscosity/time and viscosity/temperature relationships) of cocoa syrups were studied. Flow curves were described by rheological model of Casson, whi...

Some commercial sweet sorghum syrups can be fraudulently or accidently adulterated with inexpensive sugar syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or corn syrup, and sold at a relatively low market price or even mis-branded. This undermines the economic stability of the current small-scale producers of food-grade sweet sorghum syrup as well as the developing large-scale bioproduct i...

Available tablets or capsules for adults are often used to prepare extemporaneously formulated medicines appropriate for children. The most acceptable drug forms in pediatric population are oral liquids and pharmacists use commercial dispersing media to compound syrups from an active substance or from tablets available on the market. In many countries ready-to-use dispersing media are not avail...
