Delving into the roots of the word “sweet,” we find the Latin equivalent suavis—delightful—and the Greek root Hedys—pleasant. In Old English, these roots evolved into the word “swete,” from which our present term is drawn. FOREWORD Regardless of its name, humans have always sought the taste of sweetness. As the search for spices motivated earlier ex- plorers, so has the search for sweetness moved both people and institutions. For many years, these efforts concentrated on a tropical grass, sugar cane, and the sugar beet. But since the early 1800s, they have increasingly moved in the direction of a native American crop ... corn. Today, as this booklet de- tails, nutritive sweeteners from corn have become America’s premier sweeteners. Many years of meticulous research have brought the corn refining industry to this point. But by no means has the search for new forms and functions for corn sweeteners ended—it will continue, and the corn refining industry looks forward to playing a central role.

McCleary, Naomi Sloane and Anna Draga Megazyme International Ireland, Bray Business Park, Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland The new definition of dietary fibre introduced by Codex Alimentarius in 2008 includes resistant Received: January 23, 2015 starch and the option to include non-digestible oligosaccharides. Implementation of this definition Revised: March 5, 2015 required new methodology. An integrated total dietary fibre method was evaluated and accepted by Accepted: March 5, 2015 AOAC InternationalandAACCInternational(AOACMethods2009.01and2011.25;AACCMethod 32–45.01 and 32–50.01, and recently adopted by Codex Alimentarius as a Type I Method. However, in application of the method to a diverse range of food samples and particularly food ingredients, some limitations have been identified. One of the ongoing criticisms of this method was that the time of incubation with pancreatic a-amylase/amyloglucosidase mixture was 16 h, whereas the time for food to transit through the human small intestine was likely to be approximately 4 h. In the current work, we use an incubation time of 4 h, and have evaluated incubation conditions that yield resistant starch and dietary values in line with ileostomy results within this time frame. Problems associated with production, hydrolysis and chromatography of various oligosaccharides have been addressed resulting in a more rapid procedure that is directly applicable to all foods and food ingredients currently available.

Phillip Baumel Economics Connie L. Hardy Center for Crops Utilization Research Pamela J. White Food Science and Human Nutrition A project of the Iowa Grain Quality Initiative Traits Task Team Funded by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board 306 West Towers 1200 35th St. West Des Moines, IA 50266 October 1999 Center for Crops Utilization Research Iowa Agriculture & Home Economics Experiment Station Iowa State University, Ames, IA 2 Acknowledgment This report is intended to provoke discussion and debate that will lead to a vision among researchers in public institutions, seed companies, and the starch processing and food industries for modifying corn traits for starch (and other complex carbohydrates) production to enhance utilization and profitability of growing corn. The report attempts to provide direction to farmer organizations and to the corn industry about potential targets for investing research funds. One should recognize that some of the modifications considered required speculation about functional properties and potential applications. Additional research on the relationship between the structures of starch and other complex carbohydrates and functionality in food and industrial applications may refute some of that speculation.

  • Sugar: the Many Names Used in Processed Foods
    Sugar: the Many Names Used in Processed Foods Both glucose and fructose are common, but they affect the body very differently. Glucose can be metabolized by nearly every cell in the body. Fructose is metabolized almost entirely in the liver. Fructose has harmful effects on the body, including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, and type 2 diabetes. It is especially important to minimize the intake of high fructose sugars. Many processed foods will have a combination of sugars. Because the ingredient are listed in order of quantities, using several different sugar names presents the illusion that sugars are less prominent in the ratio of ingredients.

  • Review Article Effect of Substitution of Sugar by High Fructose Corn Syrup
    Nutrition and Food Sciences Research Vol 3, No 4, Oct-Dec 2016, pages: 3-11 Review Article Effect of Substitution of Sugar by High Fructose Corn Syrup on the Physicochemical Properties of Bakery and Dairy Products: A Review Azizollaah Zargaraan1, Leila Kamaliroosta2, Amin Seyed Yaghoubi2, Leila Mirmoghtadaie1* 1- National Nutrition & Food Technology Research Institute, Faculty of Nutrition Sciences and Food Technology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2- Zar Knowledge-based Center of Research and Industrial Group, Tehran, Iran Received: August 2016 Accepted: October 2016 A B S T R A C T High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is commonly found in soft drinks and juice beverages, as well as in many pre-packaged foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods and dairy desserts. Historically, sucrose (table sugar) was primarily added to processed foods and beverages as the sweetening agent. In recent years, the use of HFCS has significantly increased in popularity due to its sweetness, ability to enhance flavor and shelf life, and its low cost. HFCF made by enzymatic isomerization of glucose to fructose was introduced as HFCS-42 (42% fructose) and HFCS-55 (55% fructose) and opened a new frontier for the sweetener and soft drink industries. Using a glucose isomerase, the starch in corn can be efficiently converted into glucose and then to various amounts of fructose. Hydrolysis of sucrose produces a 50:50 molar mixture of fructose and glucose. The primary difference is that these monosaccharides exist free in solution in HFCS, but in sucrose bonded together. The disaccharide sucrose is easily cleaved in the small intestine, so free fructose and glucose are absorbed from both sucrose and HFCS.

  • Effect of Agronomic and Storage Practices on Raffinose, Reducing Sugar, and Amino Acid Content of Sugarbeet Varieties1
    Effect of Agronomic and Storage Practices on Raffinose, Reducing Sugar, and Amino Acid Content of Sugarbeet Varieties1 R. E. WYSE AND S. T. DEXTER2 Received fo,- /Jub lication July IO. 1970 Introduction The decrease in bagged sucrose per ton of beets during stor­ age results primarily from two factors. Sucrose is respired, evolv­ ing CO2 , The transformation of sucrose and other beet con­ stituents into raffinose, reducing sugars, amino acids, etc., re­ sults in an accumulation of non-sucrose solutes in the thin juice and corresponding increased sucrose losses into the molasses. Reducing sugars, raffinose and amino acids account for a major portion of the fluctuation in impurities during storage (Wyse et al.) 1970). The purpose of this study was to determine the in­ fluence of harvest date, nitrogen fertilization and storage tem­ perature on the content of these three impurities in several sugarbeet varieties. Reducing Sugars The predominant reducing sugars in the beet are glucose and fructose. Free galactose and arabinose are found only in trace amounts (Silin, 1964). Reducing sugars are presumably destroy­ ed during lime defecation and occur in very small amounts in beet molasses (McGinnis, 1951; Silin, 1964). In this process the reducing sugars are degTaded to acids (lactic, formic, acetic, sac­ charinic) (Carruthers et al.) 1959) which must be neutralized by the addition of sodium carbonate before evaporation to re­ duce soluble lime salts and to prevent sucrose inversiop (Silin, 1964; McGinnis, 1951). As a result of the addition of sodium carbonate, molasses quantity and purity are increased resulting in increased sucrose losses (Si Jin, 1%4).

Objective: To evaluate the additive action of potato starch on the antipseudomonal activity of natural honey. Methods: Physicochemical parameters of 6 samples of Algerian honeys were analysed; four parameters were measured, including Diastase, glucose, fructose and maltose. The antibacterial activity was tested using the well-agar diffusion assay. Results: Six honey samples with initial diastase activity between 22.1 and 7.3 Schade units were tested. Glucose, fructose and maltose values range between 21, 45-30, 95%, 25, 20-37, 81% and 4, 72-78, 45% respectively. The zone inhibition diameter (ZID) for the six honey samples without starch against P. aureogenosa ranged between 26 and 31 mm. When starch was mixed with honey and then added to well, a zone inhibition increase diameter (ZIID) 27 and 32 mm. The percentage increase (PI %) was noticed with each variety and it ranged between 3, 57 and 18, 75%.
