Fructose

Brian Zhao B Format Carbohydrates Station 1 - molecular models Glucose - C6H12O6 Fructose - C6H12O6 Sucrose - C12H22O11 Station 2 - Taste Lab Work 2. Glucose - plain, almost like water Fructose - sweet, like from a fruit Galactose - slight pungent taste Maltose - bitter, bad aftertaste Sucrose - slightly sweet, almost like sugar-water Lactose - plain, again almost like water 3. Fructose was the sugar which tasted the best because it was sweet, and it tasted like an actual sugar. The other…

Results: Distinguishing the Interactions in the Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Binding Site of Human Liver Pyruvate Kinase that Contribute to Allostery The overall design of the experiment involved two ways in which protein activation could be altered, in this case, the activation of the human liver pyruvate kinase (hL-PYK). One of the methods used to alter activation was to use effector molecules other than fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-BP), which may have the ability to attach to the…

And any other fast-food chain restaurant that offers treacly sweet smoothies touting them as a healthy alternative to coffee and sodas. The truth is, these smoothies offer not much in the way of a healthy drink and a lot in the way of unnecessary fructose. Let’s take a look at exactly what’s in a McDonald’s ‘real’ fruit smoothie: Strawberry Banana Fruit Blend Strawberry puree, banana puree, water, sugar, concentrated apple juice, contains less than 1% of the following: Cellulose powder, natural…

the side effects are from using artificial sweeteners. Like all chemicals and drugs ingested into the body there are potential side effects. High fructose corn syrup, too, is undesirable in large amounts in your diet, but if you don't want to take the above mentioned chemical sugar alternatives, and you don't want to pile on the sugar or high fructose corn syrup when your sweet tooth hits, what's the alternative? One great alternative to either sugar or chemical sweeteners is honey. Honey is…

Carbs and diets, we all know they don’t go together. You constantly hear people saying they’re on a diet, so they can’t eat things like pasta and potatoes. Why can’t we eat these things when we are on a diet? what defines a carbohydrate? In lecture and lab, we learned all of the basics about Carbohydrates and how it is applied in real life; things like the different groups, what they do, where they come from, and their importance in the body. In lecture, we learned that carbohydrates are…

the sugar concentration. The shifting of Tp to the higher temperatures was found due to the immobilization of water by the sugar molecules and stabilization of the crystalline structure in starch. The effect is more in this order: sucrose, glucose, fructose. All the sugars prevents the retrogradation of sweet potato starch and the order of effectiveness is the similar to the order of increase in gelatinization temperature (Kohyama and Nishinari,…

Carbohydrates are macronutrients which can be found in all types of food. A carbohydrate molecule contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (Yacoub, n.d.). When found in food, carbohydrates can be starch, sugar, and fiber. Carbohydrates can either have simple or complex forms. For example, glucose, a sugar, is a monosaccharide; these are carbohydrates in their simplest form (Timberlake, 2006). When only a few of these monosaccharide are linked together, they create oligosachharides. If many of the…

When we first were signing up to choose our topics, I chose baking because I like to simply bake. I thought that there could be some chemistry involved due to heat in the oven changing food from liquid to solid. I was so wrong. Even though the oven and heat portion plays a major factor, a good portion of the real chemistry lies in the ingredients we use to make such delicious dessert treats and our different breads. From the ten different sources I looked up previously, for the Annotated…

carbohydrates are simple sugars that can be broken down and digested by the body very rapidly, it is made of very little vitamins and minerals. Simple carbohydrates are organized in to two categories, disaccharieds and monosaccharides. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are the energy source of cells in our body and are the base form carbohydrates called monosaccharides. but when two monosaccharides are treated together it is called disaccharides. Examples of simple carbs are table sugar, honey,…

too much. Also each grain of sugar consists of a small crystal made of an orderly arrangement of molecules called sucrose. Sucrose is an example of carbohydrate. The basic unit of carbohydrate is monosaccharide or simple sugar, such as glucose or fructose. The sugars can be linked in infinite ways. In sugar crystal, the sucrose molecules are placed in pattern that extends in all three dimensions, and all of these molecules are attracted to each other due to…
