Fructose

the help of Hugh Jackman who does some hocus pocus with visual aides concocted with sugar granules on a lit-up podium to illustrate the history of sugar and Brit wit Stephen Fry who elucidates the difference between glucose, lactose, sucrose and fructose in rhyme. The way that Gameau chooses his information is clever. Instead of that…

Carbohydrates : Carbohydrates are commonly identified as sugars, they are the 'staff of life' for mainly organisms. They are mainly rich class of biomolecules in nature, based on mass. Carbohydrates are also known as saccharides, in Greek sakcharon mean sugar or sweetness. They are generally distributed molecules in plant and animal tissues. In plants, and arthropods, carbohydrates from the skeletal structures, they also provide as food reserves in plants and animals. They are main energy…

The purpose of this experiment was to discover if Crayola Washable Markers are really nontoxic, or even as safe as the dyes used in food. To answer this question, we used paper chromatography to identify the dyes in blue, orange, and green Skittles Sweets and Sours candy and Crayola Washable Markers. In this paper chromatography experiment, the mixture to be separated was spotted 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of chromatography paper, which was then dipped in the solvent, a 0.1 percent salt…

Look for the cane in the grocery store. Look for raw sugar cane in many grocery stores. Find the raw stalks in the produce section. Check Latin grocery stores, farmers markets, or any other place that sells fresh produce.[1] Find sugar cane more commonly in areas known to grow it, which are typically temperate in climate. In the United States, this includes Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, and Texas.[2] 2 Identify the sugar cane. Look for the long stalks of raw sugar cane. The product that appears…

Yeast are single-celled fungi. Yeast cells use an aerobic process called alcoholic fermentation to produce energy in the form of ATP. Not only does this process convert glucose into ATP, but it also produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Along with a few other classmates, I performed the “alcoholic fermentation in yeast” lab to find the ideal conditions for carbon dioxide production in yeast. Organisms obtain the energy they need from food. Yeast cells use sugars, such as glucose, as a food…

Has the question “Is sugar good or bad for you?” ever come up in a conversation? What’s your point of view on that topic? What if I told you sugar kills? Would you eat it less? Sugar no matter if it is too much or too little can cause serious damage to your body. Sugar is one of the most dangerous things you can put in your body. If you intake too much sugar you have a higher percent chance of developing diabetes. Sugar is originally a cane hence the name “sugar cane”. Sugar cane is then…

Cassava starch can be changed over promptly to ethyl liquor in a two stage prepare including the hydrolysis of starch slurry into glucose by liquefaction so that dextrin and along these lines fermentable sugar can be acquired. The glucose arrangement is weakened and changed over to ethyl liquor by the anaerobic activity of yeast, ethanol of 95.6% w/w turns out through parchedness which is concentrated to 99.5% w/w (Ramasamy and Paramasamy, 2001; Kosugi et al., 2009). In this manner cassava-based…

The Effect of Carbon Sources on Yeast Growth Introduction Biofilms are encountered every day through a multitude of ways whether it’s by dental plaque on our teeth, in our showers or on medical equipment. (Hall-Stoodley 2004). A biofilm is formed when single bacterial cells stick to each other (Schussler 2014). Biofilms as a group converse and work together as a complex unit which allow them to be effective in growing, surviving and reproducing (Liu et al. 2015). Moreover, yeast biofilms are an…

If you are throwing a special school or neighborhood event, a fun machine to rent is a cotton candy machine. Cotton candy is one of those mythical childhood treats that you only encounter at special events that every child should get to taste and discover. If you have a special event coming up, you can rent a cotton candy machine and provide the children at your school and neighborhood with this essential childhood experience.

Analysis of the fruit powders demonstrated that the antioxidant capacity (Figure 1A) of cocoa powder (634 ± 33 μMTE/g) was significantly greater than blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate powder on a per gram basis. The total polyphenol content (Figure 1B) of cocoa powder (48.2 ± 2.1 mg/g) appeared to be greater than acai, blueberry, and cranberry powder; however these differences did not reach statistical significance. The total flavanol content (Figure 1C) of cocoa powder (30.1 ± 2.8 mg/g) was…
