Black radish juice obtained from the whole root is rich in sulphur heterosides, cyanogenic glycosides, vitamins, phenolic substances which were proved to be excellent antioxidants (free radicals scavengers). Brown sugar contains, beside sucrose, organic acids, amines, pectins, reducing saccharides, aminoacids (proteins), vitamins of B complex, ions of potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, as w...

About a year ago the writer (1) described technique for the determination of sugar in blood which yields figures appreciably lower than those obtained by the use of the older methods. Since the publication of that paper two investigators, employing widely differing procedures, have reported results which indicate the correctness of the lower figures obtained with the new method. Harned (2), aft...

The results of eleven experiments dealing with (1) lime application, (2) herbicides, (3) nematicides, (4) varieties, (5) fungicides, (6) sowing date and (7) yield potential, are discussed. Lime was necessary, not to create a more neutral soil reaction, but to eliminate most of the exchangeable aluminium in the soil. It was necessary to incorporate lime to a depth of 200 mm but not deeper. Cyclo...

In this present work authors undertook an investigation on glucose, artificial sweetener and saccharin. This study compared the reality of the claimed sugar free nature of commercial artificial sweetener. A molecular level investigation is carried out by using FTIR spectroscopy and optical polarization experiment. The result obtained show that the sugar content of the artificial sweetener is su...

The optimization of an alkaline pretreatment process for the delignification of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) to enhance the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis was performed according to the Doehlert uniform shell design. In this experimental design, the effect of two factors—potassium hydroxide (KOH) concentration and autoclaving time at 121 C (1 atm)—on cellulose, hemicellulose, or the total polysacch...
