the objective of this research is to investigate the effect of four additives including iron slag (is), works debris (wd), fly ash (fa), and lime kiln dust (lkd) on the biochemical properties of biosolids produced at mangere wastewater treatment plant (mwwtp), auckland, new zealand. all these additives are homogenously mixed in the laboratory with biosolids at various percentages with and witho...

A dispersion-dominated colorimetric approach for the recognition of carbohydrates based on biomolecule-responsive AuNPs is presented. Taking advantage of the unique dual-responsiveness of smart copolymers, the aggregation and dispersion of AuNPs can be modulated by both temperature and different kinds of carbohydrates, giving rise to a novel chromogenic mechanism for the recognition and testing...

OBJECTIVE The effects of carbohydrates on plasma uric acid levels are a subject of controversy. We determined the individual and combined effects of carbohydrate quality (the glycemic index) and quantity (the proportion of total daily energy [percentage of carbohydrates]) on uric acid levels. METHODS We conducted a randomized, crossover trial of 4 different diets in overweight or obese adults...

In the preceding paper of this symposium the extent to which ingested carbohydrates are fermented within the reticulo-rumen and the metabolic pathways involved in these degradative processes have been detailed. In this paper consideration will be given to the fate of carbohydrates leaving the rumen during their passage through the remainder of the alimentary tract. These carbohydrates, although...

Marine organisms have been recognized as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with industrial and nutraceutical potential. Recently, marine-derived carbohydrates, including polysaccharides and low molecular weight glycosylated oligosaccharides, have attracted much attention because of their numerous health benefits. Moreover, several studies have reported that marine carbohydrates exhibit v...

Accumulation of foliar carbohydrates is one of the most pronounced and universal changes observed in the leaves of C3 plants grown at elevated CO2 concentration (e[CO2]). Carbohydrates are both the product of photosynthetic cells and the substrate for sink metabolism. However, carbohydrates are not just substrates; and the role of carbohydrates in regulation of the expression of many plant gene...

Legislation is described that impacts on the use of low-digestible carbohydrates in foods. This includes controls on the use of these carbohydrates, mandatory labeling concerned with gastrointestinal effects, nutrition labeling, and nutrition and other claims. Regional differences in approach to legislation have led to inconsistencies in the information that must be provided to consumers, even ...

The aim of this study was the development and validation of a new method for carbohydrates analyses obtained from woody biomass, as a step of bioethanol production. In this study, we have quantified carbohydrates in wood by gas chromatography (GC) after derivatization. Quantification of carbohydrates was made by liquid-liquid extraction, oximation and silylation and, finally, analysis by gas ch...

Healthy diets are high in carbohydrate. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for carbohydrates is 45–65%. A maximum intake of 25% of added sugars is suggested. Americans should choose fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and cooked dry beans and peas as staples in the diet. Dairy products are also a nutrient-dense source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the pr...

In most insects, the taste of carbohydrates stimulates an immediate appetitive response. The caterpillar of Manduca sexta is an exception to this general pattern. Despite eliciting a strong peripheral gustatory response, high concentrations of carbohydrates (e.g. glucose or inositol) stimulate the same intensity of biting as water during 2-min tests. We suspected that the lack of feeding stimul...
