3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

Microbiology Enzymology and Catalytic Metabolism Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI) Hereditary Fructose Intolerance (HFI) is a genetic condition people are born with‚ usually without previous family history. Individuals with this condition have difficulty metabolizing fructose and/or foods containing fructose. The individuals liver and kidneys attempt to use this sugar for energy and due to the incomplete breakdown of fructose‚ toxic byproducts are produced which eventually leads to serious

High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a fructose-glucose liquid sweetener alternative to sucrose (common table sugar) first introduced to the food and beverage industry in the 1970s. It is not meaningfully different in composition or metabolism from other fructose-glucose sweeteners like sucrose‚ honey‚ and fruit juice concentrates. HFCS was widely embraced by food formulators‚ and its use grew between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s‚ principally as a replacement for sucrose. This was primarily because

From its debut in the 1970s‚ high fructose corn syrup has been widely adopted into America’s food and beverage industry. Because of high fructose corn syrup’s similarity to table sugar‚ it has served as a substitution for table sugar in America’s diet. Unlike table sugar‚ high fructose corn syrup is a liquid substance. Being a liquid‚ high fructose corn syrup has been able to manage an array of food’s textures and freshness. High fructose corn syrup seems to be the optimal alternative to table

its consumption as raw food‚ industrial processing of corn yields high economic value. Among industrial uses of corn‚ High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is the most controversial one from an ethics perspective. HFCS is an artificial sweetener that is found in a wide range of processed foods. It is produced by applying enzymatic processes to convert corn’s glucose into fructose. HCFS is used as a sweetener in various foods and beverages such as yogurts‚ breakfast bars‚ cereals‚ breads‚ soups‚ lunch meats
