... Introduction Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are all organic macromolecules composed of polymers which are made up of smaller simpler subunits (monomers). These macromolecules have unique characteristics that allow them to carry out complex functions. In this lab, four (4) tests will be conducted: the Benedict test (for reducing sugar) BNT test; Iodine test (for starch) BIU test; Biuret test (for protein) IDN test; and Sudan III test (for lipids) SDN test. The first test conducted would be the Benedict test. Carbohydrates include sugars, glycogen, starches and cellulose. Three substances will be tested for reducing sugars. These substances include sucrose, glucose and distilled water (H2O). If any of the substances are negative for non-reducing sugars it will have a blue color. If it positive for reducing sugar it will have a yellow to green to reddish orange color for weak to strong presence of the sugar respectively. The Idoine test for starch would be the second test preformed. Staining by distinguishes starch from monosaccharides, diaaccharides and other polysaccharides. Two substances potatoes and distilled water will be tested for starch. If starch is present in any of the substances the iodine will turn it bluish-black. If the...

...Reducing Sugar Consumption Introduction: From large sugar cane fields to acres of beets, sugar is processed into a million dollar industry that satisfies the world’s sweet tooth. However, market failure exists among our society and health. As a public health regulator, I am tracking policies that attempt to reduce America’s sugar consumption in response to the dramatic rise in obesity over the last thirty years. The first target is adults and the sugar beverage industry, particularly, the consumption of regular sodas. I will detail four specific policy proposals that the government should consider on the sale of regular soda: taxes, subsidies, provisions and restrictions. In various outcomes, each policy could provide incentive for individuals toward a healthier lifestyle. Sugar is on the road to becoming America’s next controlled substance. Background: The United States is currently in a dangerous cycle of sugar consumption and disease with nearly two out of every three adults categorized as overweight or obese.(Figure 1,2) Among those characterized, their bodies were given a surplus in calories without an equal response of physical activity. Obesity restricts productivity, lower one’s quality of life, and reduces life expectancy. The excess body fat results in significant health problems such as an increased risk of developing high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, depression and even orthopedic problems. Additionally, the society bears the bulk of the costs associated...

...Milena Lambri* Istituto di Enologia e Ingegneria Agro-Alimentare, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Via Emilia Parmense, 84, 29122 Piacenza, Italy milena.lambri@unicatt.it This study is located in the within of a research devoted at processing wastes both in developing and in developed Countries, so reducing both environmental pollution and seasonal fruit losses. In particular, the full work intended to completely process pineapple wastes into vinegar which may be then used as dressing, food preservative, and disinfectant. The preliminary trials presented here deepened the first process step (i.e. the saccharification) and looked into the feasibility of producing the greatest yield of reducing sugars from peels and core of pineapples. Wastes were cut into thin strips, chopped in a mixer, and divided into samples of peel and core to which distilled water was added. For enhancing reducing sugar yield, physical treatments were arranged to disaggregate the fibrous structure followed by enzyme treatments to breakdown cellulose polymers and to hydrolyse sucrose. The optimal time-temperature conditions of each process step were searched for gaining the highest reducing sugars yield at the end of the saccharification. Cellulolytic enzymes were tested for 4-8-18-24 h at 30-40-50 °C, invertase addition was arranged, and amylolytic enzymes were evaluated. All determinations were done in duplicate and a factorial ANOVA with Tukey’s test at p ≤...

...bigger lead time, the bigger difference between demand variability and order variability. Batch Ordering: As it mentioned in the case, Barilla’s CDC and Barilla-run depots deliver their products in track load quantities. Therefore, the wholesaler may observe a large order followed by several periods of no order, which increase the variability. Price Fluctuation: According to table 5-1, the Italian wholesale price is fluctuated during the years, and also the Barilla uses trade promotion strategies in its marketing. This fluctuation causes the retailers often to stock up and increase the variability in their supply chain. How can the firm cope with the increase in variability? Reducing uncertainty: They can use centralized demand information in order to reduce the Bullwhip effect. Reducing Customer demand Variability: They can use some marketing strategies, such as “everyday low pricing” (EDLP) in order to reduce the demand variability in the supply chain. Lead-Time Reduction: Order lead time can be reduced through the use of...

...Presence of glucose, proteins and fats in foods Introduction- Complex foods are eaten on a daily basis, which contain mixtures of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Glucose (also known as dextrose) is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose has a molecular formula C6H12O2. It is mainly found in fruits and honey and is the main free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. Glucose is the source of energy in cell function, and regulation of its metabolism. Molecules of starch are the main energy-reserve carbohydrate of plants consists of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major and linear compound composed of glucose is cellulose [Glucose]. Protein is found throughout the body in the...

...amylopectin Ratio and reducing sugars: The ratio of amylose/amylopectin for each fraction of both rice grain types is shown in table 3. A change in the ratio of absorbance of iodine starch complexes at 630 and 520 nm, for amylose and amylopectin, respectively, indicates a change in the composition of linear or branched fractions of starch molecules. High amylose is responsible for high gelatinization temperature and low alkali spreading value.Significant difference in amylose content was found between the samples. On increasing plasma treatment time and Power amylose content was found to be decreased from 30.2 to 27.44 from 30 to 50 Watts and more effect has been found sample treated for 15minutes. Reduction in amylose content may be due to the splitting of side chain amylose after plasma treatment. Amylose to amylopectin ratio of the control was 1.43 and declined on increasing treatment time and Power, ratio was found least 1.02 for 50 Watts 15 minute samples this is due to plasma immanent species like ions, free radicals breaks the degrades molecule such as amylopectin into smaller molecules(Lii et al., 2002a, 2002b).Although gases used for the treatment cause different physical and Chemical modifications. Effect of plasma depends upon the components present like moisture, protein, and lipid. Detrimental effects on atomization and ionization have caused high water concentrations. Reducing sugars of parboiled rice slightly increased with plasma treatment as reducing sugars in control was...
