A Perfect Balance SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION for TODAY’S MARKETPLACE SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION a Perfect Balance for TODAY’S MARKETPLACE A Perfect Balance SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION FOR TODAY’S MARKETPLACE SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION A Perfect Balance FOR TODAY’S MARKETPLACE In today’s food and beverage marketplace, both regulatory- and consumer-driven sugar reduction demands continue to evolve. Successful sugar reduction solutions must also continue to evolve in response. WHY IS SUGAR REDUCTION SO IMPERATIVE? THE FDA-REQUIRED LABEL CHANGES REGARDING Because it is driven by both regulatory SUGARS ARE: changes and consumer demand. “Added sugars,” in grams and as percent Daily Value, will be included on the label. The upcoming June 2020 deadline for Scientific data shows that it is difficult to label changes outlined by the FDA is meet nutrient needs while staying within looming, giving added sugars and serving calorie limits if you consume more than sizes a reality check—and giving consumers 10 percent of your total daily calories from even more reason to pay attention to their added sugar, and this is consistent with the sugar consumption. 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. By law, serving sizes must be based on amounts of foods and beverages that people are actually eating, not what they should be eating. Package size affects what people eat. So for packages that are between one and two servings, such as a 20 ounce soda or a 15-ounce can of soup, the calories and other nutrients will be required to be labeled as one serving because people typically consume it in one sitting. https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocu - mentsRegulatoryInformation/LabelingNutrition/ucm385663.htm 1 What the new label means to you Serving sizes and calorie counts are prominently displayed, but the biggest change may be that now, added sugars can’t escape unnoticed. WHAT ARE ADDED SUGARS, EXACTLY? Added sugars are things like dextrose and fructose (monosaccharides) and sucrose (disaccharides), one and two chain sugars. The lower molecular weight provides unique functionality and low viscosity to food systems. FDA ADDED SUGAR DEFINITION The definition of added sugars includes sugars that are either added during the processing of foods, or are packaged as such, and include sugars (free, mono- and disaccharides), sugars from syrups and honey, and sugars from concentrated fruit or vegetable juices that are in excess of what would be expected from the same volume of 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice of the same type. https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/LabelingNutrition/ucm385663.htm A Perfect Balance: SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION 2 FOR TODAY’S MARKETPLACE It all seems pretty straightforward, CONSUMER-DRIVEN but it isn’t quite that simple since SUGAR REDUCTION consumer attitudes toward sugar appear to be on a continuum: An increasing number of consumers are seeking out “For many consumers, their better-for-you options and want to limit their sugar perceptions, attitudes and and lower their calorie intake*, so they are checking behaviors regarding sugar, labels and buying items with low or reduced sugar. added sugars and sweeteners are based on a host of factors including moods, product category/type, and vary by eating or drinking occasion, etc.”* 46% say no added sugars is important to them Nearly 70% of consumers say 39% surveyed are very/somewhat reduced sugars is important concerned about sugars and to them sweeteners used in the products they buy and/or consume.* 36% say low calorie is important to them In fact, an overwhelming majority of consumers surveyed are very or somewhat concerned about sugars and sweeteners used in the products they buy or consume most often.* And, these concerns are elevated among women and older consumers. *ADM OutsideVoiceSM Sweeteners Attitudes & Usage Study, 2017 A Perfect Balance: SUCCESSFUL SUGAR REDUCTION 3 FOR TODAY’S MARKETPLACE It’s true, consumers care about their sugar intake—but still want the taste they love.

  • 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).

  • Lecture 2 Assistant Lecture Tafaoul Jaber
    Lecture 2 Assistant Lecture Tafaoul Jaber Effect of alkali on carbohydrates Benidict , Fehling , Barfoed tests . These tests are based on the most important chemical property of sugar, the reducing property. Benidict and fehling tests are used to determine presence of reducing sugar while Barfoed test is used more specifically to distinguish monosaccharides and disaccharides. Reducing and Non- reducing sugars Sugars exist in solution as an equilibrium mixture of open- chain and closed-ring (or cyclic) structures. Sugars that can be oxidized by mild oxidizing agents are called reducing sugars because the oxidizing agent is reduced in the reaction. A non-reducing sugar is not oxidized by mild oxidizing agents. All common monosaccharides are reducing sugars. The disaccharides maltose and lactose are reducing sugars. The disaccharide sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Common oxidizing agents used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar are: Benedict's solution, Fehling's solution. Benedict's Test Benedict's test determines whether a monosaccharide or disaccharide is a reducing sugar. To give a positive test, the carbohydrate must contain a hemiacetal which will hydrolyse in aqueous solution to the aldehyde form. Benedict's reagent is an alkaline solution containing cupric ions, which oxidize the aldehyde to a carboxylic acid. In turn, the cupric ions are reduced to cuprous oxide, which forms a red precipitate. This solution has been used in clinical laboratories for testing urine. RCHO + 2Cu2+ + 4OH- ----- > RCOOH + Cu2O + 2H2O Hemiacetal & hemiketal formation Procedure Place 1 ml of carbohydrates solutions in test tube. To each tube, add 1 ml of Benedict's reagent.

It has a high affinity for water and is the cause of making products retain moisture.Invert sugar also affects the caramelization process , producing a browning effect. In this study, the possibility of minimization of sucrose inversion during the industrial production of sugar cane was investigated by the variation of the important parameters, i.e. temperature and pH of sugar cane juice for each of samples. The amounts of sucrose and reducing sugar alerting during the sucrose inversion process were determined by the values of % Pol and % reducing sugar (% RS), respectively. Starting with the study of temperature and pH effects of the sucrose solution with the concentration of 16 Brix, used as a sample model, it was found that no change in amounts of reducing sugar and sucrose was observed at room temperature (34 oC) in the pH range of 5-11. At pH 3, the amounts of reducing sugar increased and the amount of sucrose decreased as the time increased.

  • Invert Sugar Determination by Polarimeter
    Invert Sugar Determination by Polarimeter Invert sugar (IS) contains fructose and glucose in roughly equal proportions. The Invert sugar is greater in demand than pure glucose as food and drink sweeteners, because fructose is sweeter than glu- cose. Main consumers of Invert Sugar are the baking, beverages, canning, confectionery and dairy industries. In addition, high fructose syrup is used in many other processed foods like jams and jellies. However, it is being used only in biscuits and soft drinks. A manufacturer of IS expecting to supply it in next couple of years to the confectionery, fruit canning, processed foods and dairy products industries also. Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is the sweetest natural sugar and is found in fruits, vegeta- bles, and honey. The body responds to fructose in a different way than to glucose and sucrose. Fructose is more satiating, and it is up to 1.8 times sweeter than sucrose, making it useful in foods and bever- ages for the health conscious. Fructose is also ideal for use in diabetic foods as it has very little effect on blood glucose and only a negligible effect on the secretion of insulin. Enzymatic treat- ments are a now a major way of producing sweeteners, including syrups derived from sucrose derived from sucrose or starch th at contain mixtures of glucose, maltose, fructose, and other sugars. Glucose has 70-75% the sweetening strength of beet sugar (sucrose), but fructose is twice as sweet as sucrose. Thus, processes for the manufacture of fructose are of considerable value. Invertase enzyme is used traditionally in the production of inverted sugars for industry, espe- cially in the manufacture of candies and preserves, production of lactic acid and ethanol pro- duction from fermentation of cane sugar molasses.

  • Difference Between Reducing Sugar and Starch Key Difference - Reducing Sugar Vs Starch
    Difference Between Reducing Sugar and Starch www.differencebetween.com Key Difference - Reducing Sugar vs Starch Redox is a chemical reaction which changes the oxidation number of a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidation and Reduction are the main two events occur during the Redox reaction. Loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state is known as oxidation while the gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state is known as reduction. Reducing agent is a molecule which can donate an electron to another molecule and become decreased in oxidation state. Some sugars can act as reducing agents. They are known as reducing sugars. Reducing sugars have the aldehyde group to become oxidized and convert into the carboxylic acid group. Starch is a polymer made of amylose and amylopectin. It is the major carbohydrate reserve in plants. Starch does not possess a free hydrogen molecule which is attached to oxygen. Hence, starch is unable to be formed the open aldehyde and as a result unable to be oxidized and reduced other sugars. The key difference between Reducing sugar and Starch is that starch is not a reducing sugar due to the absence of hydrogen on the circled oxygen to allow for ring opening. What is Reducing Sugar? Sweet soluble carbohydrates are known as sugars. There are various types of sugars. They can be monosaccharides (simple sugars), disaccharides or polysaccharides. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, galactose etc. Disaccharides include sucrose, lactose etc. Polysaccharides include starch, cellulose, pectin etc. Most of the monosaccharides are having an aldehyde group or a ketone group. Hence, they can be oxidized and act as a reducing agent for another molecule.

SCHNELLER 2 THE DIRECT DETERMINATION OF SUCROSE IN THE PRESENCE OF REDUCING SUGARS The methods proposed for the direct determination of sucrose in the presence of reducing sugars have not proved quite successful and none has con^e into general use. They are based on the destruction of the rotary power of reducing sugar by the action of alkali, effecting a rearrangement of the glucose and fructose molecules and their transformation into an inactive mixture of glucose, fructose and mannose. The various analytical methods are reviewed in Browne's; Handbook of Sugar Analysis, p. 302, also in Louisiana Bulletin No. 135, p. 47, where a modification of the method of Pellet and Lameland, employing hydrogen peroxide in addition to alkali is described by Cross and Taggart They found Pellet's method unreliable, but although their own modification gave results in close agreement with Clerget's inversion method for sugar house products, it yielded too low figures with pure sucrose.
