reactions. Background information: Lactose‚ the sugar found in milk‚ is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose (both six-sided sugars). Sucrose‚ ordinary table sugar‚ is also a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose. Glucose is a six-sided sugar and fructose is a five-sided sugar. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks lactose down into galactose and glucose. Lactase can be purchased in pill form by people who are lactose intolerant. These people lack the enzyme‚ lactase‚ and cannot

before you add agave nectar to your grocery list‚ here’s what the heck you need to know. Agave nectar contains up to 90 percent fructose. That’s significantly more than table sugar‚ which is 50 percent fructose (and 50 percent glucose) once it’s broken down by your body. Agave’s high fructose content gives it advantages and disadvantages. The good part first: Because fructose has a low glycemic index‚ agave doesn’t cause your blood sugars to spike as rapidly after eating it‚ which means it can temper

Sugar – All Sweetness and Light? Sugar in all its forms is officially a simple carbohydrate. This means the body will convert is into glucose which is then available as energy. Then it gets less simple. Depending on the type of sugar used our health will be impacted rather differently‚ sometimes bad‚ sometimes very bad depending on using either natural or refined types of sugar. Whereas the usual over use of any sugar is likely to add fat and body weight and also play havoc with blood sugar levels

Biruiet Test: Procedure Instead of the Biuret Reagent‚ the following may be used: * Fehling’s Solutions A and B * Sodium hydroxide and copper (II) sulphate solutions 1. Add 2 cm3 of the liquid food sample* to a clean‚ dry test tube 2. Add 2 cm3 of Biuret Reagent. Alternatively: * Use sodium hydroxide solution and copper sulphate solution instead. Add 1 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution (40% or bench solution) and 1% copper (II) sulphate solution dropwise – drop by drop - to

Examples of reducing sugar are: Monosaccharides Glucose Fructose Galactose Dissacharides Lactose maltose Non-reducing sugars do not contain have free aldehyde groups and upon testing with Benedict’s solution will not reduce copper(11) ions to copper (1) ions. Non-reducing sugars do not react with any

Health benefits of dates fruit are uncountable. Intestinal Disorders: The nicotinic content that is present in the dates is said to be beneficial for curing any kinds of intestinal disorders. Continuous intake of dates helps to maintain a check on the growth of the pathological organisms and thus‚ helps in the rise of friendly bacteria in the intestines. Constipation: Date is termed to be a laxative food. This is the reason that dates are beneficial for people suffering from constipation.
