of sugar such as monosaccharide‚ disaccharides‚ trisaccharides and polysaccharides are abundant in nature. Amongst the commercially important sugars are glucose‚ lactose‚ maltose and most importantly sucrose from which we obtain sugarcane. Worthy of note is the fact that of all sugars‚ only sucrose can be crystallized. At Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc‚ where I performed my industrial experience‚ the various department where I worked during the industrial experience includes: Chemical Department‚ which

was knotted at one end to make a small tube. A 10 cm3 sample of a mixture of active yeast in 2% sucrose solution was placed in the tube and the tube was knotted at the top. The tube was suspended in a small beaker containing limewater‚ as shown in Fig. 1.1. The apparatus was left for 30 minutes at room temperature (22 °C) and then observed. For Examiner’s Use limewater active yeast in 2% sucrose solution Visking tubing Fig. 1.1 (a) (i) Suggest what changes you might expect to observe in the

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

reduction. During 1992‚ the low fat craze spread in the USA; it called that the content of low-fat home-cooked food can be controlled but low-fat processed food means substitution with Carbs. This concept of Carbs includes high fructose corn syrup and sucrose‚ which were all contain high fructose. Since the adulteration of our food supply includes addition of fructose‚ removal of fiber‚ and substitution of trans-fats. Thirdly‚ Dr.Lustig explains the differences between fructose and glucose. He says

Sports Drinks vs. Water Some people think sports drinks replenish your fluids better than water while playing sports. Some say water replenishes better than sports drinks. According to some scientists sports drinks include many sugars and electrolytes that water does not have. Others say that those sugars and electrolytes actually dehydrate more than they hydrate. They say that water is much better than these drinks. Sports drinks are being used by people who are not even active‚ they just like

Lab 5: Osmosis Purpose The purpose of this lab was to explore the concept of Osmosis using dialysis tubing and different concentrations of sucrose solutions‚ and to help one better understand what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis If the four dialysis tubes containing different concentrations of sucrose are all placed in their appropriate solutions for 20 minutes‚ then my predictions are as follows: The 1% in 1% sugar solution will keep a constant

BIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT MOLECULES Abstract Compounds containing the element carbon‚ called organic compounds‚ are the most important substances that make up living organisms. There are thousands and thousands of different organic compounds. To identify the major types of organic compounds in living organisms ‚ several biochemical test were used . Introduction Organic molecules are those primarily made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. The common organic compounds of living organisms are
