Viviana Veber Bio 1510 Sec 21 Carbohydrates Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to identify the reaction of carbohydrates in Benedict’s test‚ Barfoed’s test and Iodine test. Carbohydrates are essential to living organisms‚ and the principal role of carbohydrates is the production of energy. Carbohydrates are groups of sugars that contain carbon‚ oxygen‚ and hydrogen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Three main units of carbohydrates are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides

Carbohydrates serve as two main objectives in the human body to either help digest foods or to help provide energy. Fiber is a type of carbohydrate is necessary to have a regular digestive system. Majority types of carbohydrates such as sugars and starches can break down glucose to be used as energy. The movie‚ King Corn‚ is about two best friends and an acre of corn in Iowa. A small ear of corn contains 23 grams of carbohydrates. Corn can be transformed and be used in several different ways. In

economy‚ there has been an inconclusive debate about whether artificial sweeteners could be used in food and beverages as a sweetener material. The use of these sweeteners has some positive effects on the economy by increasing the production and creating new jobs. Additionally‚ they could reduce the obesity‚ diabetes‚ and tooth decay‚ which could decrease the health care cost. On the other hand‚ the consumption of artificial sweeteners may lead to negative implications for the economy‚ for instance‚ it

Fermentation of Carbohydrates: Ethanol from Sucrose Objective: To demonstrate a fermentation process‚ isolate the ethanol produced by fractional distillation‚ determine the composition of the ethanol solution recovered‚ and make stoichiometric and yield calculations. Procedures: Fermentation Weigh out 20.0 g of sucrose and place it into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Add 100 mL of water and gently shake until all the sucrose has dissolved. To this solution add 0.60 g of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate

Saccharin - This is the first artificial sweetener produced. It is said to be 300 times sweeter than sugar. On its own‚ it is said to have a metallic taste so it is often combined with other sweeteners. It is good for cooking and can add the sweet taste to cookies and cakes. Acesulfame potassium - It is

27-Feb Bitter Competition: The Holland Sweetener Co. vs. NutraSweet (A) (HBS 9-794-079) 1. How should Vermijs expect NutraSweet to respond to the Holland Sweetener Company’s entry into the European and Canadian aspartame markets? Ans: 1. NutraSweet had a very high Cost of Goods Sold in producing the Aspartame. So it was not a wise move for NutraSweet goes for Price war with Holland Sweetener Company‚ which might possibly results in a negative gain on the product. 2. Even though price war is

In 1976 scientists at Tate & Lyle Ltd.‚ a large British sugar refiner‚ and researchers at the University of London discovered sucralose‚ a no calorie sweetener also known by its brand name as Splenda. Sucralose is a chlorinated chemical compound that is made in a multiple-step chemical manufacturing process. In the process‚ three atoms of chlorine are substituted for three hydroxyl groups in the sugar molecule sucrose (white table sugar)‚ creating a tightly bonded‚ highly stable molecule. The

with discretion; opt for carbohydrates with a low glycemic index (GI). GI is the property of a carbohydrate to be converted into blood sugar. A low GI indicates that a carbohydrate takes longer to be converted to sugar‚ thus implying that it is contains insoluble fiber that is tougher to break down (that’s good news‚ intestines need some exercise too). While consuming carbohydrates‚ watch out for the glycemic load (GL) too. Glycemic load accounts for how much carbohydrate is in the food‚ and how much

between diet and health and the increasing publicity being given to the problem of obesity‚ consumer concern over sugar levels in the diet is propelling a worldwide trend towards cutting down on sugar. The world is turning‚ instead‚ to artificial sweeteners and substitutes. The market for sugar substitutes is being fuelled globally by new-age beverages‚ dairy products‚ salad dressings and snack foods at one end and diabetic specific consumables at the other end.
