The mean viscosity of the sweet potato syrup was 1.98 Pa s at room temperature and 0.95 Pa s at 4°C. The viscosity for the sweet potato syrup gradually increased as storage time increased. With syrups stored at both temperatures, increased shear stress decreased their viscosities. However, when a commercial corn syrup was tested under the same conditions, there was no decrease in viscosity as shear stress increased. Overall, the SPS syrup had RI, color, and viscosity comparable to that of the commercial corn syrup. 

E. INFLUENCE OF a-AMYLASE ON THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CONSUMER ACCEPTABILITY OF SPS SYRUP (BOVELL-BENJAMIN ET AL., 2005)... 

Technology was developed on a laboratory scale for the production of SPS syrup, and the effect of varying levels of a-amylase on syrup quality, storage stability, and consumer acceptance were evaluated. Three levels of thermostable bacterial a-amylases (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 ml) were used for conversion of SPS into glucose syrup. The 1.5-ml a-amylase-treated SPS was dropped...

Saccharic acid. Use the filtrate A) from the above oxidation of lactose or, alternatively, employ the product obtained by evaporating 10 g. of glucose with 100 ml. of nitric acid, sp. gr. 1 15, until a syrupy residue remains and then dissolving in 30 ml. of water. Exactly neutralise at the boiling point with a concentrated solution of potassium carbonate, acidify with acetic acid, and concentrate again to a thick syrup. Upon the addition of 50 per cent, acetic acid, acid potassium saccharate sepa rates out. Filter at the pump and recrystaUise from a small quantity of hot water to remove the attendant oxahc acid. It is necessary to isolate the saccharic acid as the acid potassium salt since the acid is very soluble in water. The purity may be confirmed by conversion into the silver salt (Section 111,103) and determination of the silver content by ignition. 

The most widely used emetic is syrup of ipecac, containing the alkaloids, emetine and cq haeline. Emetine induces vomiting by activation of sensory neurons in the vagus and sympathetic nerves to the stomach and centrally in the medulla, possibly at the CTZ. The release of serotonin and SP may be involved as 5-HT3 and NKi receptor antagonists prevent emesis induced...

Crude xylose syrup is rapidly fermented by certain microorganisms, for instance, Lactobacillus pentoaceticus n. sp., with the production of the above acids. The fermentation is almost quantitative, since 85 to 90 per cent of the xylose can be accounted for by the two acids. 

Characters.—Thick brown fermentable syrup, very sweet, not crystallizing by rest or evaporation. Sp. gr. about 1 4. Nearly free from empyreumatic odour and flavour.

CsHiiO P, Mr 198.11, syrup, [a] -4° (HjO) as the sodium salt. Natural P. has the (5) configuration. A her-bicidal antibiotic from cultures of Saccharothrix sp. P. is formed biosynthetically as an isoprenoid. A further herbicidal phosphonic acid is phosphinothricin (see bialaphos and ciliatine).
