The microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW/H2O2-AOP) aided with dilute sulfuric acid was applied in a two-stage treatment of dairy manure for nutrient release, solids reduction, and reducing sugar production. A much higher hydrogen peroxide dosage (1.2 g H2O2/g TS) was used in Stage 2 than that in Stage 1 (0.38 g H2O2/g TS). Most of the reducing sugar was produced in Stage 1, and onl...

paper chromatography for sugar, were studied and the role of each in making the diagnosis was assessed. The demonstration of an abnormal amount (> J %) of reducing substances in the stools was confirmed to be a valuable screening test for sugar malabsorption. Stool chromatography was useful in diagnosing the type of sugar malabsorption present, but estimation of stoolpH proved to be an unreliab...

For the purposes of this investigation, specimens of urine from 150 children, aged 2 months 4o 5 years, healthy and diseased (other than recognized diabetes), were examined for reducing substances both by Fehling's and Benedict's methods. Three specimens, taken on three successive days, were thus examined, and when a reducing substance was detected, the nature of the sugar was determined by the...

Emphasis over the past year has been on editorial effort to bring Chapter 44, Sugar and Sugar Products of the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL (OMA) to the high standards set for the 17th Edition of the compendium. In addition, 2 method studies were reported and subjected to peer review, respectively, dealing with detection of adulteration of maple syrup by beet or cane sugar ...

Cotton hanks were dyed with three different sulphur dyes using non-sulphide reducing agents such as glucose, fructose, invert sugar and molasses. The alkalies employed for reduction were sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide. Invert sugar as a reducing agent and sodium carbonate as alkali proved to be better as this combination gave results comparable to those obtained with the conventional sod...

Production of reducing sugar by hydrolysis of corncob material with Streptomyces sp. cellulase and ethanol fermentation of cellulosic hydrolysate was investigated. Cultures of Streptomyces sp. T3-1 improved reducing sugar yields with the production of CMCase, Avicelase and β-glucosidase activity of 3.8, 3.9 and 3.8 IU/ml, respectively. CMCase, Avicelase, and βglucosidase produced by the Strepto...

The colorimetric glucose-oxidase and the Somogyi-Nelson reducing-sugar methods yield the same blood-glucose values when applied to carefully prepared zinc hydroxide filtrates of blood obtained from fasting individuals. The anthrone method yields values only slightly higher than those obtained by the enzymic and the reducing-sugar methods. Use of the enzymic method in conjunction with the reduci...

The grains of nine cultivars of soybean were analyzed for total soluble sugar, reducing sugar, starch, total dietary fibre, in vitro digestibility and antinutritional factors. The total soluble sugar, reducing sugar and starch content of nine cultivars were in the range of 5.72-7.00, 0.51-1.10 and 2.80-3.25 per cent, respectively. Soybean supplied a good amount of total dietary fibre (16.6019.5...

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 ...
