Determination of Sugars in Sports Drinks: A Spectrophotometric Analysis By: Crystle Culling Student Number: 2686923 Class: Tuesday 12pm (odd weeks) Page | 1 1015MSC Lab Report Crystle Culling 2686923 Abstract The concentration of sugars in two well-known sports drinks‚ Powerade and Gatorade‚ were determined by monitoring an enzyme-catalysed reaction sequence involving the appearance of NADPH. Sucrose and glucose concentrations were calculated from the concentration of NADPH formed by the reaction

companies‚ the amount of money wasted and the concentration of the sport drinks available. Sports drinks have a negative effect on your health. The sugars fructose and sucrose are the main ingredients in most sport drinks; fructose is a monosaccharide which means the fructose cannot be broken down into simpler sugars by hydrolysis. Fructose can affect the kidney functions by evaluations in the uric acid; simulating fat synthesis in the liver; increasing the amount of lipid in the bloodstream and

Introduction Honey has been a staple of the kitchen for centuries. It is a natural substance produced by honeybees‚ Apis mellifera‚ in almost every country in the world. Honey is essentially a concentrated aqueous solution of inverted sugar‚ namely fructose and glucose‚ but it also contains a very complex mixture of other saccharides‚ enzymes‚ amino and organic

Testing for reducing sugars‚ non-reducing sugars‚ starch‚ lipids and proteins in unknown substances: Our aim: was to find out which substances from our five samples have reducing sugars present to determine what they may be for example; they could be monosacchrides or disaccharides. This was carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which substances from our five samples were non-reducing sugars‚ since some disaccharides are reducing sugars and this would be carried out by using Benedict’s

up the cracker that doesn’t have reducing sugars. Next‚ test the sample for a reducing sugar. The results of the Chemical Aspects lab were that starch‚ potato juice‚ cracker solution‚ and cereal contain starch. In the reducing sugar test glucose‚ fructose‚ lactose‚ and milk contain a reducing sugar. In the grease spot test‚ salad oil‚ milk‚ and chips are lipids. In the dye test‚ salad oil and chips are fats. Egg albumin‚ cereal‚ and cracker mixture show that they are proteins. In the Spit lab the

Title : Investigation of Action of Saliva and 3M Hydrochloric Acid in Two Carbohydrate Solutions Objective : To investigate the action of saliva and 3M hydrochloric acid in two carbohydrate solutions Results : Table 1: Observations Conclusions Solution A Benedict’s test : Initial blue solution changed to brick-red precipitate. Little amount of brick-red precipitate suspended in solution. The solution was translucent. Iodine test : Yellowish-brown remained the same. Abundant amount of

The use of positive and negative controls to determine the macromolecules present in an unknown solution Course # 6130‚ Wednesday‚ 7-10 PM‚ B2-151 Lab performed: September 21st‚ 2011 INTRODUCTION Every living thing is dependent on large complex molecules‚ known as macromolecules. The objective of this lab was to correctly identify which macromolecules the unknown solution was comprised of using various substances as experimental controls. There are four major types of biological macromolecules

Enzymes are complex organic compounds‚ generally proteins. Examples of fermentation are souring of milk curd‚ bread making
Premium Ethanol Yeast Fermentation
Agitation‚ stirring or beating supersaturated syrup incorporates air and promotes the formation and growth of sugar crystals due to the rapid movement of the molecules. If the solution is allowed to cool before it is beaten‚ only tiny crystals forms‚ which are not allowed to grow. This results in a creamy mass. So when making candy‚ like fudge‚ you should allow cooling the sugar syrup to 38°C before beating it‚ otherwise you will end up with crystals that are too large‚ resulting in a grainy texture
