The production of reducing sugars by acid of carbohydrate cereals powder‚ jams (total sugar content) and jams (reducing sugar content) were performed in order to study reducing sugar production. The study involved hydrolysis carbohydrate cereals powder and jams by immersing in boiling water at environmental temperature. Acid hydrolysis was carried out through reflux boiling for 20 minutes with 10ml 0f 1.5M concentrations of diluted sulphuric acid. Reducing sugars concentrations were determined

First‚ we must establish whether sugar over-consumption is damaging to one’s health. In the Vice article‚ the writer made an eyebrow-raising statement when she said‚ "sugar is devoid of any real nutrition‚ messes with your metabolism‚ and rots your teeth...How bad could it really be?" This was interesting to me because I always thought sugar was an extremely important source of energy and that our body had a built function to regulate the amount of sugar we consume. Hilary Pollack reported on a study

Data Analysis The question for this experiment was‚ “Does sugar effect recalling memories?” The hypothesis was‚ “If sugar causes drowsiness‚ then it will slow the memory process also.” For this experiment‚ the independent variable was the participants‚ and the dependent variable was the accuracy percentage. The control variables were the amount of numbers required to memorize‚ the time before recalling the numbers‚ and the type and brand of donuts. The participants who did not eat the donuts were

An investigation into the effects of sugar concentration on yeast activity Introduction: Yeasts are eukaryotic micro organisms belonging to the kingdom fungi. Yeasts live on sugars and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products. [James Mallory‚ 1984]When Yeasts are given water and sucrose they convert the sucrose into glucose then convert the glucose into carbon dioxide and ethanol following the following reaction: C₆H₁₂O₆ ( 2(C₂H₅OH + CO₂ [Brady Burkhart‚ Terrell Grayson and Eric Kimler

Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

removal‚ flow equalization‚ sedimentation‚ or dissolved air flotation are used to reduce suspended solids (SS) load from sugar industry wastewater. Biological treatment includes aerobic and anaerobic process. Except biological methods‚ physico-chemical methods are also used for sugar industry wastewater treatment. 6.1 Biological methods Since‚ sugar industry wastewater contains mostly sugars and volatile fatty acids‚ which are easily biodegradable‚ therefore all the biological (anaerobic and aerobic) treatment

A sugar cube is a carbohydrate made of moistened sugar. For something to be a living thing‚ it has to have cellular organization‚ contain similar chemicals‚ and have the abilities to reproduce‚ evolve‚ use energy‚ grow‚ and respond. A sugar cube has several of these characteristics‚ raising the question of whether it is living or not. As mentioned before‚ a sugar cube shares several characteristics with living things. For example‚ evolution is the ability to change over time. Both humans and sugar

To Study the Filterability and Quality of Raw sugar for Refining ABSTRACT This study was particularly designed to evaluate the quality parameters of raw sugar which ultimately affect the filterability of raw sugar. It is a cane sugar which has been minimally processed and product of the first stage of cane sugar refining process which has some very distinctive characteristics. Filterability of raw sugars is one of the primary sugar quality parameters. To the refiner‚ the filterability of

Two The White Pigeon Sugar Manufactory By the 1830s‚ the new European practice of extracting sugar identical to cane sugar from beets had captured the minds of separate but like-minded small groups of investors in Pennsylvania‚ Massachusetts‚ and Michigan. The latter group took the name “White Pigeon” after the town in which the company was organized. Experiments that took place in Michigan and Massachusetts led to the construction of factories sized to produce salable white sugar in commercial quantities

Should the Government Regulate Sugar? The world we live in today is a very dangerous one‚ or so it would seem to most people. People can be very suspicious of hidden agendas‚ being taken advantage of‚ or some how tricked in some manner. As Americans we have rights‚ and we are quick to fight for them‚ perhaps even to a fault. Never will you see more people say their rights are being stepped on than when the government begins to make changes or in some way “meddles” with our everyday lives. Usually
