The refractive index incre- ments with the mass concentration (@n/@c)p,T were measured by an Anton Paar RXA 156 refractometer, with an accuracy of 0.00002 nD and tempera- ture control of ∆T = ±0.03K. This refractometer uses a wavelength of 589.3 nm (sodium line), which is shorter than the wavelength of the read-out beam in our IR-TDFRS setup (HeNe-laser, 632.8 nm). This causes a small system- atic error in the refractive index increment in the order of 0.5-1% [4, 5]. The concentration and temperature dependence of n was fitted with a function to determine (@n/@c)p,T. Table 5 to 12 shows the measured values over the investigated temperature and concentration range. Table S6: Refractive index n of 1-propanol in water.

  • “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.

  • Sweet Sensations by Judie Bizzozero | Senior Editor
    [Confections] July 2015 Sweet Sensations By Judie Bizzozero | Senior Editor By R.J. Foster, Contributing Editor For many, terms like “reduced-sugar” or “sugar-free” do not go with the word “candy.” And yet, the confectionery industry is facing growing demand for treats that offer the taste people have grown to love without the adverse health effects they’re looking to avoid. Thankfully, there is a growing palette of ingredients from which candy makers can paint a new picture of sweetness that will be appreciated by the even most discerning of confectionery critics. SUGAR ALCOHOLS Also referred to as polyols, sugar alcohols are a common ingredient in reduced-sugar and sugar-free applications, especially confections. Funny thing, they’re not sugars or alcohols. Carbohydrate chains composed of monomeric, dimeric and polymeric units, polyols resemble both sugars and alcohols, but do not contain an ethanol molecule. All but two sugar alcohols are less sweet than sugar. Being only partially digestible, though, replacing a portion of a formulation’s sugar with a sugar alcohol reduces total calories without losing bulk (which can occur when replacing sugar with high-intensity sweeteners). Unique flavoring, texturizing and moisture-controlling effects also make polyols well-suited for confectionery products. Two very common and very similar monomeric polyols are sorbitol and mannitol. Present in a variety of fruits and vegetables, both are derived from products of cornstarch hydrolysis. Sorbitol is made via hydrogenation of glucose, which is why sorbitol is sometimes referred to as glucitol. Mannitol is created when fructose hydrogenation converts fructose into mannose, for which the final product, mannitol, is named.

The long-term prospect of seaweed bioethanol production however, depends on the selection of processes in the hydrolysis and fermentation stages due to their limiting effect on ethanol yield. This review explored the factors influencing the hydrolysis and fermentation stages of seaweed bioethanol production with emphasis on process efficiency and sustainable application. Seaweed carbohydrate contents which are most critical for ethanol production substrate selection were 52 ± 6%, 55 ± 12% and 57 ± 13% for green, brown and red seaweeds, respectively. Inhibitor formation and polysaccharide selectivity were found to be the major bottlenecks influencing the efficiency of dilute acid and enzymatic hydrolysis, respectively. Current enzyme preparations used, were developed for starch-based and lignocellulosic biomass but not seaweeds, which differs in polysaccharide composition and structure. Also, the identification of fermenting organisms capable of converting the heterogeneous monomeric sugars in seaweeds is the major factor limiting ethanol yield during the fermentation stage and not the SHF or SSF pathway selection.

  • Chapter 1.1 Development of a Bladder Instillation of the Indoloquinone
    CHAPTER 1 Pharmaceutical development, analysis & manufacture of EO-9 15 16 Chapter 1.1 Development of a bladder instillation of the indoloquinone anticancer agent EO-9 using tert-butyl alcohol as lyophilization vehicle S.C. van der Schoot, B. Nuijen, F.M. Flesch, A. Gore, D. Mirejovsky ,L. Lenaz, J.H. Beijnen Submitted for publication 17 18 Chapter 1.1 Abstract EO-9 is a bioreductive alkylating indoloquinone and an analogue of the antitumor antibiotic mitomycin C. EO-9 is an inactive prodrug, which is activated by reduction of the quinone moiety to semiquinone or hydroquinone, generating an intermediate with an electrophilic aziridine ring system, which serves as a target for nucleophilic DNA. For the treatment of superficial bladder cancer a pharmaceutical formulation for a bladder instillation with EO-9 was developed. To improve solubility and stability of EO-9, tert-butyl alcohol was chosen as co-solvent for the solution vehicle in the freeze-drying process. Because EO-9 is most stable at alkaline pH sodium bicarbonate was used as alkalizer. Stability and dissolution studies revealed an optimal formulation solution for freeze-drying composed of 4 mg/ml EO-9, 10 mg/ml sodium bicarbonate, and 25 mg/ml mannitol in 40% v/v tert-butyl alcohol in water for injection. Optimization of the freeze drying process was performed by determination of the freeze drying characteristics of tert-butyl alcohol/water systems and differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the formulation solution. Furthermore, the influence of the freeze drying process on crystallinity and morphology of the freeze dried product was determined with X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.

  • Clinical Efficacy of Mannitol 10% with Glycerol 10% Versus Mannitol 20% in Cerebral Edema
    CLINICAL STUDY Indian Journal of Clinical Practice, Vol. 30, No. 5, October 2019 Clinical Efficacy of Mannitol 10% with Glycerol 10% versus Mannitol 20% in Cerebral Edema AVINASH SHANKAR*, SHUBHAM†, AMRESH SHANKAR‡, ANURADHA SHANKAR# ABSTRACT Introduction: Cerebral edema is a common cause of unconsciousness and a manifestation in cerebrovascular accident, head injury, convulsive disorder and encephalitis, either due to infection or toxin. Failure of energy-dependent sodium-potassium ATPase pump, results in accumulation of sodium and water. The release of free radicals and proteases due to activation of microglial cells disrupts cell membrane and capillaries. Objective of the study: Comparative assessment of clinical efficacy of mannitol 10% with glycerol 10% versus mannitol 20% in cerebral edema of varied origin. Material and methods: In this study, 1171 patients of cerebral edema of various etiology attending Medical Emergency of RA Hospital & Research Centre, Warisaliganj (Nawada), Bihar, were selected for comparative evaluation of mannitol 10% with glycerol 10% versus mannitol 20% intravenously to adjudge the clinical efficacy and safety profile. Results: Patients of Group A taking mannitol 10% with glycerol 10% had Grade I clinical response in 584/586 without any adversity, residual neurological deficit or mortality and morbidity while among patients of Group B on mannitol 20%, only 108/585 had Grade I clinical response with mortality in 92 cases and morbidity in 279 cases. Keywords: Cerebral edema, cerebrovascular accident, sodium potassium ATPase pump, free radicals, proteases, mortality, morbidity erebral edema is a common sequel of causes dysfunction but not necessarily permanent cerebrovascular accident (CVA), head injury, damage. Ultimately, hypoxia depletes the cells’ energy Cconvulsive disorder and infective or toxic stores and disables the sodium-potassium ATPase, involvement of brain.

  • Sugar Alcohols a Sugar Alcohol Is a Kind of Alcohol Prepared from Sugars
    Sweeteners, Good, Bad, or Something even Worse. (Part 8) These are Low calorie sweeteners - not non-calorie sweeteners Sugar Alcohols A sugar alcohol is a kind of alcohol prepared from sugars. These organic compounds are a class of polyols, also called polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol. They are white, water-soluble solids that occur naturally and are used widely in the food industry as thickeners and sweeteners. In commercial foodstuffs, sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness of the sugar alcohols. Unlike sugars, sugar alcohols do not contribute to the formation of tooth cavities. Common Sugar Alcohols Arabitol, Erythritol, Ethylene glycol, Fucitol, Galactitol, Glycerol, Hydrogenated Starch – Hydrolysate (HSH), Iditol, Inositol, Isomalt, Lactitol, Maltitol, Maltotetraitol, Maltotriitol, Mannitol, Methanol, Polyglycitol, Polydextrose, Ribitol, Sorbitol, Threitol, Volemitol, Xylitol, Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay. However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels, although less than that of "regular" sugar (sucrose). Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts. Erythritol Also labeled as: Sugar alcohol Zerose ZSweet Erythritol is a sugar alcohol (or polyol) that has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and throughout much of the world. It was discovered in 1848 by British chemist John Stenhouse. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. At the industrial level, it is produced from glucose by fermentation with a yeast, Moniliella pollinis.
