Glucose sugars

Yeast (qv) metabolize maltose and glucose sugars via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway to pymvate, and via acetaldehyde to ethanol. AH distiUers yeast strains can be expected to produce 6% (v/v) ethanol from a mash containing 11% (w/v) starch. Ethanol concentration up to 18% can be tolerated by some yeasts. Secondary products (congeners) arise during fermentation and are retained in the distiUation of whiskey. These include aldehydes, esters, and higher alcohols (fusel oHs). NaturaHy occurring lactic acid bacteria may simultaneously ferment within the mash and contribute to the whiskey flavor profile. [Pg.84]

Cellulose A polymer of six-carbon glucose sugars found in all plant matter the most abundant biological substance on earth. [Pg.901]

Sorbitan [C6H80(0H)4] products have a particularly low toxicity level, being derived from the hexahydric alcohol sorbitol [CH2OH (CHOH)4 CH2OH], which is, in turn, produced by the reduction of glucose sugar. [Pg.544]

Metabolism—increased use of glucose (sugar) and liberation of fatty acids from adipose tissue... [Pg.200]

The compactness and complexity of (ligno)cellulose makes it much more difficult to attack by enzymes with respect to starch. Therefore, the cost of bioethanol production is higher [23], To be cost competitive with grain-derived ethanol, the enzymes used for biomass hydrolysis must become more efficient and far less expensive. In addition, the presence of non-glucose sugars in the feedstock complicates the fermentation process, because conversion of pentose sugars into ethanol is less efficient than conversion of the hexose sugars. [Pg.189]

Glucose—Sugar molecule found widely in nature. [Pg.154]

Trehalose is a relatively new bulk sweetener with potential for use in soft drinks. It is a di-glucose sugar and it occurs in nature in shellfish and mushrooms, where it confers a degree of protection to plant and animal cells in conditions causing dehydration. This led to its use as a cryoprotectant in freeze-drying systems in the pharmaceutical industry. In food markets, its potential use is as a bulk sweetener. It is manufactured using the Hayashibara patented process using starch as a raw material. The process involves enzymatic conversion and crystallisation to the trehalose dehydrate crystal (LFRA, 2001). [Pg.86]

Because of its roles in the synthesis of glycogen, in isomerization of hexose phosphates, and as a precursor for numerous biosynthetic intermediates, UDP-glucose is regarded as a central hexose derivative in mammalian metabolism. In bacteria and plants, both ADP-glucose (production of storage polysaccharide) and UDP-glucose (sugar interconversions and biosynthesis) play important roles as precursors. [Pg.266]

A doctor might also use a chemical reaction to test a patients blood glucose (sugar) level. Remember that during digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into the simplest sugar, glucose. [Pg.79]

Decreases the amount of glucose/sugar the intestines absorb. [Pg.130]

Decrease the amount of glucose/sugar the liver manufactures. (One source of liver glucose production is amino acids/protein). [Pg.130]

Liu, S., Skinner-Nemec, K. A., and Leathers, T. D. 2008. A Lactobacillus buchneri strain NRRL B -30929 converts a concentrated mixture of xylose and glucose sugars into ethanol and other products. J. Ind. Microbiol. Biotechnol, 35, 75-81. [Pg.262]

This acid is a six carbon tetra-hydroxy aldehyde acid related to glucose sugar and will be mentioned here by name only. [Pg.253]

Normal Cellulose.—Several varieties or forms of cellulose are known as found in plants. Cotton fibre is a typical and practically pure cellulose. This form which occurs also in flax and hemp is termed normal cellulose. On hydrolysis it yields glucose sugar as the final product. In speaking later of the chemical properties of cellulose it is the normal cellulose which is considered. Cotton fibre contains about 89-91 per cent, pure cellulose, 8-10 per cent, water and only about I per cent, of other compounds including salts, fats and proteins. Flax and hemp stalks yield about 72 per cent, cellulose. [Pg.366]

One of the most baffling mysteries of multiple personality disorder is how alternate personalities can sometimes show very different biological characteristics from the host and from each other. Several personalities sharing one body may have different heart rates, blood pressures, body temperatures, pain tolerances, and eyesight abilities. Different alters may have unique reactions to medications. Sometimes a healthy host can have alternate personalities with allergies and even asthma. An alter s blood glucose (sugar) may respond differently to insulin than the host s. Since studies done on people with such dramatically different alters have been small, no conclusions can be drawn and the puzzle remains to be solved. [Pg.450]

Use Textile desizing, conversion of starch to glucose sugar in syrups (especially com symps), baking (to improve emmb softness and shelf life), dry cleaning (to attack food spots and similar stains). [Pg.78]
