    The severity of these symptoms is directly proportional a person’s lactose intolerance, and the amount of lactose they consume. What is Lactose and How is it Used? Lactose is a disccharide only found in milk, which is metabolized into the monosaccharides galactose, and later into glucose. This is then used for cell energy or stored as glycogen (Nutrients Review, 2016). lactose also assists in the uptake of calcium, an essential nutrient, which is a secondary constituent of milk. Perhaps…

    solutions include glucose, maltose, honey, lactose and beer. There was precipitation formed in these solutions, which resulted in the colour change indicating that sugar must be present in these solutions for this to occur (Nigam et.al, 2003). Monosaccharides such as glucose, maltose and lactose are all defined as simple sugars and since they showed a positive result in this test, it indicates that the Benedict’s test was performed correctly (Alberts et. al, 2014). The objective of the biuret…

    They serve as fuel and building materials. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide. Examples of monosaccharide are glucose and fructose. Disaccharides include lactose and sucrose. Lastly, polysaccharides consist of cellulose (plants), starch (plants), glycogen (animals), and chitin (animals and fungi). The elements its made up of are carbon…

    High fructose corn syrup is a simple carbohydrate also known as a monosaccharide. Sweet corn kernels are harvested and converted into starch by using caustic soda. Typically, cornstarch is 93% to 96% glucose. Because pure corn syrup is not sweet enough for food manufacturing, food processors add Enzymes to convert glucose into fructose, which changes the molecular structure. The exact ratio of glucose to fructose depends on the manufacturing process. Researchers from Princeton University…

    gelatinization characteristics are altered by the sugars addition. The effects of different types of sugars on starch gelatinization depend upon the chain lenght of the sugar. Disaccharides delay gelatinisation more than monosaccharides but maltose is an exception, which acts like a monosaccharide (Dorota Gałkowska, 2008). Sugars have been shown to delay gelatinization and to increase gelatinization temperature of starch. The mechanism by which sugars delay gelatinization have been shown to…

    α-Glucosidase inhibitors are saccharides that act as competitive inhibitors of enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates specifically α-glucosidase enzymes in the brush border of the small intestine. This inhibits the cleaving of di and oligosaccharides to monosaccharides, such as glucose prior to absorption. This delays the absorption of glucose and alters the release of glucose dependent intestinal hormones. Acrabose, Migltol (10) and Voglibases (11) have been extensively studied for their…

    31. cis/trans isomers Isomers are compounds with a similar substance recipe however extraordinary structures. The structures of these isomers vary in the introduction of the two chloride particles around the Co3+ particle. In the trans isomer, the chlorides involve positions opposite each other in the octahedron. In the cis isomer, they possess contiguous positions. The distinction amongst cis and trans isomers can be recollected by taking note of that the prefix trans is utilized to portray…
