Semi-natural grassland habitats are most often limited to animal grazing and low intensity farming. Their potential in bioenergy production is complicated due the heterogeneity, variation, accessibility, need for complex pre-treatment/hydrolysis techniques convert into valuable products. In this research, fermentable sugar efficiency from various at vegetation periods was evaluated. The highest...

Our knowledge of the fate of galactose after its oral ingestion has been limited by the analytical methods at our disposal. As a reducing sugar, the galactose could be traced by earlier workers only by methods common to those for glucose. The use of bakers’ yeast enabled these two sugars to be separated. By this means, Blanc0 (l), Corley (Z), and Harding and van Nostrand (3) reduced the number ...

Sugars are a key dietary component. In fact, the central nervous system (ie, the brain) contains cells that have an absolute requirement for the sugar glucose. In addition to the glucose requirement, sugars are also consumed for their pleasant taste and ease of digestion. The role of sugars in dental health, behavior, andmental and physical performance has been studied. All fermentable carbohyd...

CLAUDE BERNARD first showed that sugar is a normal constituent of blood and recognised that glycosuria is, in some manner, dependent upon hyperglyeaemia. Since then a vast literature has accumulated on the subject and though the consensus of opinion favours the view that there is a renal threshold for sugar this view is not, as yet, unanimous. Thus, according to Benedict et al. [1918], urine no...

Dental caries is a chronic disease which can affect us at any age. The term "caries" denotes both the disease process and its consequences, that is, the damage caused by the disease process. Dental caries has a multifactorial aetiology in which there is interplay of three principal factors: the host (saliva and teeth), the microflora (plaque), and the substrate (diet), and a fourth factor: time...

S weet sorghum is a sugar crop with biofuel potential and has been found to be competitive with corn for theoretical ethanol yield with less energy ...

The valorization of agro-residues by biological routes is a key technology that contributes to the development of sustainable processes and the generation of value-added products. Sugarcane bagasse is an agro-residue generated by the sugar and alcohol industry in Brazil (186 million tons per year), composed essentially of cellulose (32-44%), hemicellulose (27-32%) and lignin (19-24%). The conve...
