Sugar Act

simple sugars, and its main representatives are 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.…

Fermentation Rate in Different Sugars Abstract: This experiment is designed by students after studying the process of cellular respiration and fermentation. It demonstrates students’ understanding over the materials and utilization of the lab setting. In this experiment, the primary focus will on the speed of fermentation in different substances (sugars) in the same condition (temperature, volume, amount of yeast). Each solution will be mix with a fix amount of yeast and put in fermentation tube…

sweetness that comes from sugar. Sugar is obtained from sugar cane through a process that requires a lot of steps and labor. This could be the reason for which for a long time, sugar was a product known only to the wealthy and opulent class. Nevertheless, it fame grew among…

Table sugar is a type of simple sugar. Simple sugars include glucose, fructose, and galactose(Ancira). These sugars are quickly digested and become fat extremely quickly. This is because the digestion system can break them down extremely fast. The simple sugars are also lacking disaccharides like fiber and starch which help slow the digestion process. This explains the sugar rush. Simple sugars, often found in candy and other junk foods, are quickly…

Sugar: The Brazilian Industry In Brazil, the sugar production industry is a massively important boon for the country’s exports. This product makes up nearly 2% of the GDP of the entire country, or nearly $44 billion USD annually, and makes up over 35% of the worldwide export of sugar (Sugarcane). This industry employs over 1 million workers in the country as well, which makes up about 1% of the entire country’s workforce, a relatively significant proportion of the population working to produce…

Purpose The main purpose of this experiment to learn about the organic molecule of the substances that we use daily with the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are…

Carbohydrates are macronutrients which can be found in all types of food. A carbohydrate molecule contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (Yacoub, n.d.). When found in food, carbohydrates can be starch, sugar, and fiber. Carbohydrates can either have simple or complex forms. For example, glucose, a sugar, is a monosaccharide; these are carbohydrates in their simplest form (Timberlake, 2006). When only a few of these monosaccharide are linked together, they create oligosachharides. If many of the…

among Ten Cultures Different people have their own cultural practices to prepare and consume the foods. There are many high- risk nutritional practices among different cultures such as alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse, consumption of high fat and high sugar diet and others (Purnell, 2013). As a health care worker it is very important to understand and observe the high- risk nutritional practices of people from a various cultural background so that necessary health education can be given to…

shopping with my mom and never even thinking once that anything in the store would be unhealthy for me. But I could have never been more wrong. Today, almost everything that we eat is jam-packed with chemicals, preservatives, ridculous amounts of sugar and fats and who knows what else! Consumers often react to food scares and avoid certain food products for a short time period,…

of colour perception on sweetness that have not been directly studied before, such as using 5% sucrose solutions as opposed to fruit beverages sweetened with aspartame (Lavin & Lawless, 1998). This way the sweetness of the liquid tasted is from the sugar content, eliminating the chance of fruit flavouring disrupting sweetness perception. Another reason for conducting this study is to investigate inconsistencies in previous literature, such as whether red-coloured liquids are perceived to be…
