  • “Polyols: a Primer for Dietetic Professionals” Is a Self-Study
    1 “Polyols: A primer for dietetic professionals” is a self-study module produced by the Calorie Control Council, an accredited provider of continuing professional education (CPE) for dietetic professionals by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. It provides one hour of level 1 CPE credit for dietetic professionals. The full text of the module is in the notes section of each page, and is accompanied by summary points and/or visuals in the box at the top of the page. Directions for obtaining CPE are provided at the end of the module. 2 After completing this module, dietetic professionals will be able to: • Define polyols. • Identify the various types of polyols found in foods. • Understand the uses and health effects of polyols in foods. • Counsel clients on how to incorporate polyols into an overall healthful eating pattern. 3 4 Polyols are carbohydrates that are hydrogenated, meaning that a hydroxyl group replaces the aldehyde or ketone group found on sugars. Hydrogenated monosaccharides include erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, and mannitol. Hydrogenated disaccharides include lactitol, isomalt, and maltitol. And hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH), or polyglycitols (a wide range of corn syrups and maltodextrins), are formed from polysaccharides (Grabitske and Slavin 2008). 5 Nearly 54 percent of Americans are trying to lose weight, more than ever before. Increasingly, they are turning toward no- and low-sugar, and reduced calorie, foods and beverages to help them achieve their weight loss goals (78% of Americans who are trying to lose weight) (CCC 2010). Polyols, found in many of these foods, are becoming a subject of more interest. 6 They are incompletely digested , therefore are sometimes referred to as “low- digestible carbohydrates.” Polyols are not calorie free, as there is some degree of digestion and absorption of the carbohydrate.

This article is an open access publication Abstract Erythritol is a naturally abundant sweetener gaining more and more importance especially within the food industry. It is widely used as sweetener in calorie-reduced food, candies, or bakery products. In research focusing on sugar alternatives, erythritol is a key issue due to its, compared to other polyols, challenging production. It cannot be chemically synthesized in a commercially worthwhile way resulting in a switch to biotechnological production. In this area, research efforts have been made to improve concentration, productivity, and yield. This mini review will give an overview on the attempts to improve erythritol production as well as their development over time. Keywords Erythritol . Sugar alcohols . Polyols . Sweetener . Sugar .

In this study, the osmo-sensitive strain Y. lipolytica yl-hog1D was subjected to stress, triggered by a high concentration of carbon sources. The strain thrived on 0.75 M erythritol medium, while the same concentrations of glucose and glycerol proved to be lethal. The addition of 0.1 M erythritol to the medium containing 0.75 M glucose or glycerol allowed the growth of yl-hog1D. Supplementation with other potential osmolytes such as mannitol or L-proline did not have a similar effect. To examine whether the osmoprotective effect might be related to erythritol accumulation, we deleted two genes involved in erythritol utilization, the transcription factor Euf1 and the enzyme erythritol dehydrogenase Eyd1. The strain eyd1D yl hog1D, which lacked the erythritol utilization enzyme, reacted to the erythritol supplementation significantly better than yl-hog1D.

  • Sugar Alcohols Fact Sheet
    International Food Information Council Sugar Alcohols Fact Sheet September 2004 BACKGROUND Sugar alcohols or polyols, as they are also called, have a long history of use in a wide variety of foods. Recent technical advances have added to the range of sugar alcohols available for food use and expanded the applications of these sugar replacers in diet and health-oriented foods. They have been found useful in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products, in foods intended for individuals with diabetes, and most recently in new products developed for carbohydrate controlled eating plans. Sugar alcohols are neither sugars nor alcohols. They are carbohydrates with a chemical structure that partially resembles sugar and partially resembles alcohol, but they don’t contain ethanol as alcoholic beverages do. They are incompletely absorbed and metabolized by the body, and consequently contribute fewer calories. The polyols commonly used include sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, maltitol syrup, lactitol, erythritol, isomalt and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates. Their calorie content ranges from 1.5 to 3 calories per gram compared to 4 calories per gram for sucrose or other sugars. Most are approximately half as sweet as sucrose; maltitol and xylitol are about as sweet as sucrose. Sugar alcohols occur naturally in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but are commercially produced from other carbohydrates such as sucrose, glucose, and starch. Along with adding a sweet taste, polyols perform a variety of functions such as adding bulk and texture, providing a cooling effect or taste, inhibiting the browning that occurs during heating and retaining moisture in foods. While polyols do not actually prevent browning, they do not cause browning either.

  • Total Synthesis of Salvinorin a Via an IMDA-Tsuji Allylation Strategy
    Total Synthesis of Salvinorin A via an IMDA-Tsuji Allylation Strategy DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nathan Jeffrey Line Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Craig J. Forsyth, Advisor Professor Anita Mattson Professor David Nagib Copyright by Nathan Jeffrey Line 2016 ABSTRACT Salvia divinorum, a Mexican sage, was used for hundreds of years by the Mazatec Indians for both medicinal and religious purposes. These hallucinogenic properties have caused a recent interest in the recreational drug world and therefore, resulted in a multitude of laws/restrictions banning Salvia from the United States as well as many other countries around the world. In 1982, Ortega reported the first isolation of the neoclerodane diterpenoid, salvinorin A, from Salvia divinorum. Valdes later confirmed this finding independently two years later. It was determined that salvinorin A was the compound responsible for the hallucinogenic effects experienced through ingestion or inhalation of Salvia. Interestingly, salvinorin A was and has remained the only non- alkaloid hallucinogen as well as the first highly potent and selective κ-opioid receptor agonist. These properties have not only piqued the interest of synthetic chemists but also medicinal chemists towards its potential role as a therapeutic agent. Herein is a summary of my total synthesis of salvinorin A with the goals to innovate a flexible and reliable total synthesis of salvinorin A and analogs to pursue SAR studies. I have developed an efficient synthesis of the decalin core that overcame obstacles and scale-up issues in the routes established by previous members.

Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninsky prospect 47, Moscow 119991, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 August 2018; Accepted: 17 September 2018; Published: 24 September 2018 Abstract: Recent progress in the leading synthetic applications of acetylene is discussed from the prospect of rapid development and novel opportunities. A diversity of reactions involving the acetylene molecule to carry out vinylation processes, cross-coupling reactions, synthesis of substituted alkynes, preparation of heterocycles and the construction of a number of functionalized molecules with different levels of molecular complexity were recently studied. Of particular importance is the utilization of acetylene in the synthesis of pharmaceutical substances and drugs. The increasing interest in acetylene and its involvement in organic transformations highlights a fascinating renaissance of this simplest alkyne molecule. Keywords: acetylene; vinylation; cross-coupling; addition reactions; drugs; pharmaceutical substances; biologically active molecule; monomers; polymers 1. Introduction Since the discovery of acetylene, new areas of acetylene chemistry have been continuously developed. The rich scope of chemical transformations available for a C≡C triple bond can be exemplified by coupling [1–5] and addition reactions [6,7].
