HOCHj CHjOH. Colourless, odourless, rather viscous hygroscopic liquid having a sweet taste, b.p. 197 C. Manufactured from ethylene chlorohydrin and NaHC03 solution, or by the hydration of ethylene oxide with dilute sulphuric acid or water under pressure at 195°C. Used in anti-freezes and coolants for engines (50 %) and in manufacture of polyester fibres (e.g. Terylene) and in the manufacture of various esters used as plasticizers. U.S. production 1979 1 900 000 tonnes. 

CH3 CH0H CH20H, a colourless, almost odourless liquid. It has a sweet taste, but is more acrid than ethylene glycol b.p. 187. Manufactured by heating propylene chlorohydrin with a solution of NaHCO under pressure. It closely resembles dihydroxyethane in its properties, but is less toxic. Forms mono-and di-esters and ethers. Used as an anti-freeze and in the preparation of perfumes and flavouring extracts, as a solvent and in... 

The rod drop monitor is recommended for all non-lubricated compressor applications, because there is no lubricant to act as a buffer to prevent piston-to-cylinder contact on the loss of the wear band. Lubricated com pressors handling gases with traces of water or gas components that can degrade the local lubricant are candidates. Hydrogen compressors should be considered for monitors because hydrogen is a difficult gas in it sc It and may contain trace quantities of water. While sweet gas compressor-, as are found in pipeline service, would normally not be considered a problem, the rod drop monitor may be used to signal a loss of lubricant anti the compressor can be shutdown before damage can occur. 

As has already been discussed, eclipsed, and anti, vicinal hydroxyl groups are not expected to elicit the sweet taste. Thus, Shallenberger suggested that jS-D-fructofuranose would be expected to have very little sweetness. The taste of this sugar has yet to be confirmed, but, significantly, Lindley and coworkers found that 5-thio-)8-D-fructofuranose is practically devoid of sweet taste. However, methyl )3-D-glucofuranoside (40) and some of the...

The last of the fat-soluble vitamins to be identified was vitamin K, found by Dam to be an anti-hemorrhagic factor for young chicks, distinct from vitamin C. Its structure was determined by Dam in collaboration with Karrer. Interest in the vitamin was intensified when it was discovered (Link, 1941) that dicoumarol, present in spoiled sweet clover, was the agent producing hypothrombinemia (giving prolonged blood-clotting time) in cattle. Since vitamin K is structurally similar to dicoumarol, the vitamin was presumptively implicated in thrombin formation. This has been fully substantiated by recent work on the role of vitamin K in the synthesis of prothrombin in the liver. 

Native monellin consists of two polypeptide chains, a 45-residue A-chain and a 50-residue B-chain, linked by non-covalent interactions. At neutral pH, it is fairly resistant to heat denaturation with a higher than 80 °C. The crystal structure of native monellin shows a tertiary structure comprising an anti-parallel /1-sheet with five strands and an a-helix. H NMR spectroscopy and hydrogen exchange methods have been used to characterize the alcohol-denaturated state of monellin in order to understand how its secondary structure depends on environmental conditions. " Structural and dynamic studies by NMR have been carried out in order to compare native monellin and a non-sweet analogue in which Asp was replaced by Abu . The three-dimensional structures of the two proteins are found to be very... 

The major sweet principle of licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), glycyrrhizin (1) (content 4%), has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods, tobacco products, and in medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent (Fig. 4). 

If patients are on anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic drugs, herbal formulas that stimulate the Qi and excite the Yang should not be used. Formulas that contain sweet and sour herbs that can slow down the Qi movement should also be avoided.

The strongest evidence for the notion that anti a-glycol conformations, such as persist in / -D-fructofuranose, are devoid of sweet taste is found in levoglucosan.

The available information on the nutritional properties of individual DFA isomers is limited to those representatives that can be produced by biotechnological processes, that is compounds 1 (DFA III), 10 (DFA I), and 15 (DFA IV). While the potential of DFAs as functional foods was soon realized, the initial reports of otherwise relevant results on their nutritional properties were included only in patents or published in national Japanese journals which are not always accessible. In all cases they are rated as low-caloric sweeteners DAF III, for instance, has half the sweetness of sucrose and is chemically highly stable, with lower degradability and Maillard reactivity under acidic conditions than sucrose [93]. Anticariogenic and anti-tooth decaying effects have also been claimed. Moreover, these DFAs promote in vitro growth of bifidobacteria.
