Sucrose

Brian Zhao B Format Carbohydrates Station 1 - molecular models Glucose - C6H12O6 Fructose - C6H12O6 Sucrose - C12H22O11 Station 2 - Taste Lab Work 2. Glucose - plain, almost like water Fructose - sweet, like from a fruit Galactose - slight pungent taste Maltose - bitter, bad aftertaste Sucrose - slightly sweet, almost like sugar-water Lactose - plain, again almost like water 3. Fructose was the sugar which tasted the best because it was sweet, and it tasted like an actual sugar. The other…

ingredients. This corn syrup was developed in the 1960s as an alternative to sucrose, which is table sugar. Throughout their research it was shown that HFCS peaked in 1999 and has been in decline since and while at its peak Americans still did not consume as much as they did sucrose. The name High Fructose Corn Syrup has become very misleading because of the name “high fructose,” leads people to believe it has more fructose than sucrose does, but it does not, compared to table sugars. However,…

describes sugar as toxic, addicting, and deadly. Some may disagree and say the sugar in the raw is healthy sugar however “Sugar in the raw is no better than regular sugar” (Patz). “Sugar In The Raw, which is a brand name for turbinado sugar, is refined sucrose that still has some of its natural molasses”(Sugar vs. Sugar in the Raw)…

High Fructose Corn Syrup There are many controversies about high fructose corn syrup when it comes to the debate of whether is causes certain diseases or if it is healthy or not. High fructose corn syrup is composed of either 42 percent or 55 percent fructose. It is a sweetener made from corn that also contains sugars that are primarily glucose and high sugars (chains of glucose). Many people are skeptical against high fructose corn syrup which is also known as (HFCS), but there are many…

is sweeter than sucrose and often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Triglyceride is a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When we eat, our body convert any calories that doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. Triglycerides are stored in the fat cells. Hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. If we regularly eat more calories like carbohydrates and fats than we burn, we have high triglycerides. HFCS is generally a sucrose. Sucrose is a…

Sucrose is highly known for its negative effects to the body. A diet high in sucrose will eventually lead to tooth decay. The sucrose fuels bacteria which produces the plaque which then subsequently causes cavities. Other dental problem also have a raised risk when a diet is high in sucrose. Weight gain and obesity are another factor in relation to the health complications of sucrose. Excessive amounts of sucrose get stored as fat and will put pressure on…

Fact 1 Not All Sugars Are the Same People often think that the word “sugar” means table sugar. It does, but it also refers to many other types of sugars, too, including, fructose, galactose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and sucrose (the table sugar mentioned above). These sugars are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products and in such foods as honey, molasses, and maple syrup. Sugars also are extracted from their sources to produce ingredients such as table sugar. This can include…

glucose (manufactured by plants during photosynthesis), fructose (found in honey) and lactose (found in milk). The union of two monosaccharaides forms disaccharides, and his best-known representatives are sucrose and lactose. Sucrose consists of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule. Sucrose is the sugar we consume at home, which we use in our coffee, juices, pastries etc. This carbohydrate can be found mainly in the sugarcane and sugar beets. Lactose formed by one molecule of glucose and…

Probably some of the most pleasing and enjoying things to children or people in general has to do with sweets. In the life of a child one will likely to get a birthday at a certain point and with a parent’s idea, they will like to get their children cake because cake represents a special event. Going out with parent as a child could represent a time whereby one get to eat sweets like ice-cream which contain sugar. During Thanksgiving or Hallowing it turns in to a night where children do go…

The most iconic low-calorie sweetener Splenda started in 1976 when British researchers were looking for a way to blend laboratory chemicals with sucrose (sugar). They found a different compound made from sugar called sucralose. They found it to be really sweet and it was also low calorie. Splenda was put on shelves in 1992 and has sold over 100 million packets. The ingredients include Dextrose, Maltodextrin, and Sucralose (Splenda). Sucralose which is the huge ingredient in Splenda is a…
