Reducing sugar intake in South Africa: a multilevel policy analysis of how global and regional diet policy recommendations find expression at country level
High intake of sugar has been recognised as a contributing factor to diet-related overweight and obesity, and as a determinant for non-communicable disease (NCD) emergence in LMICs. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a guideline giving specific advice on limiting sugar intake in …

A qualitative study of adolescent views of sugar sweetened beverage taxes
… used to investigate adolescents’ perceptions of sugar-sweetened beverage taxes using the Theory of Planned Behavior (attitude toward the behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intentions). A secondary purpose was to explore the role of habit in SSB consumption. …

Trends and Outcomes of a School-Based Campaign to Reduce Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption Among Racially and Ethnically Diverse Students in Middle School
Reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has been identified as a chronic disease prevention strategy in children and adolescents (Muth et al., 2019; USDA & HSS, 2015) and promoting healthier alternative beverage options has become an important focus for public health policy and …

Quality of York Imperial apples as affected by the use of corn syrup in the freezing media
… included drained weight, soluble solids, reducing sugar content of the syrup, Alla-Kramer shear press readings of firmness and microscopic examination of the apple tissue. Color, flavor, sweetness, firmness and overall acceptability of the apple slices were measured subjectively by a taste …

Documentation of grapevine leafroll-associated viruses in wine grape varieties and native grape species in Virginia, and examination of the movement of grapevine leafroll disease to develop management strategies
… significant crop loss and affect wine quality by reducing sugar accumulation and compromising skin color. Mealybugs are vectors of grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaVs). A statewide survey of commercial and wild grapevines in Virginia was conducted during 2009 through 2011. Also, vector …

High pressure processing (HPP) of kelulut honey (Sarawak): enhancement on the quality and alteration of prebiotic potential on lactobacillu
… demonstrated good retention of total acidity, reducing sugar, total sugar and diastase activity. Astoundingly, HPP at 600 MPa/10 minutes managed to increase the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content (TPC) by 3.0% and 47.2% respectively. Furthermore, HPP-treated at 600 MPa/10 minutes …

Enzymatic degradation of alpha and beta cyclodextrins by bacteroides from the human colon
… was assayed by measuring the increase in reducing sugar (as glucose) when CD was incubated at 37℃ for 4 h with crude enzyme preparations. Cyclodextrinase activity was predominantly cell bound and induced in both organisms by growth on CD. Analysis via high performance liquid chromatography …

Drinking fountains : the past and future of free public water in the United States
… accessible water for homeless populations, reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, facilitating exercise, and adding interest and beauty to public spaces - but they will only be able to achieve these goals through thoughtful design and maintenance. In surveys, people were more likely …

Understanding mechanisms and identifying markers for the onset of senescent sweetening of potato (Solanum tuberosum)
… The condition, characterised by a rise in reducing sugar content (fructose and glucose), results in darkening of chips and crisps increasing the risk of acrylamide formation through the Maillard reaction. Information is lacking on biochemical mechanisms that trigger senescent sweetening and …

Influence of Trichoderma Harzianum Rifai on growth, chemical compositions and root exudation of axenic tobacco
… amounts of total water soluble carbohydrates, reducing sugars, fructose, starch, nicotine, nitrogen, and protein were found in axenic and root-colonized plants. Sodium content was consistently greater in the inoculated plants. Manganese and barium were in larger quantities in plants colonized …

Role of N in Controlling Kernel Growth in Maize
… starch granule number, invertase activity, and reducing sugar concentration of the endosperm were measured for all treatments. Altering N availability by both stem infusion and kernel culture affected kernel growth through changes in kernel sink capacity, invertase activities, and assimilate …

The role of enteric bacteria in the Abalone, Haliotis Midae
… Quantitative poly saccharase assays using the reducing sugar assays of Nelson (1944) and Somogyi (1952) and Gardner et al. (1988) were employed. These assays showed that bacteria from the crop exhibited the greatest degree of CMC and alginate hydrolysis. Bacteria from the intestine exhibited …

Causes and consequences of variation in the nutrition and endemic microflora of food stores in managed honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)
… studied. The composition in terms of protein and reducing sugar was found to vary both spatially and temporally; lipid and starch content was found to vary temporally through the season. The spatial trends in protein content were found to be associated with changes in landscape composition, as …
