Abstract:
... New grape growing technologies are needed to face the global warming and climate change, especially for the production of high-quality wines from late harvested grapes, which in standalone involved in a high production risk. The DMR technology was applied to the production of late harvested wine specialities in 2012-2021 for 4 white and 2 red wine varieties. The experiments were carried out in 4 r ...

Abstract:
... This study used eye-tracking data to determine if attention to nutrition information before making purchasing decisions between beverages was associated with selecting a sugar-sweetened beverage and whether the updated Nutrition Facts Label (NFL) garnered more attention than the previous NFL. Participants were randomly assigned to view either the previous or updated NFL, and time to first fixation ...
... To clarify the role of Acetobacter sp. in fermented noni juice, the physiochemical properties, main active ingredients and volatile constituents were comprehensively analyzed. The sugar content and acidity tended to be stable after 12 days of fermentation. Acetobacter sp. had no significant influence on major active ingredients of products. The headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometr ...
... Influences of conventional thermal and innovative non-thermal extraction methods on the physicochemical characteristics and properties of pectic polysaccharides from Choerospondias axillaris peels were investigated. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted extracted polysaccharides (UP) had a heterogeneous nature with lower molecular weight (127.7 kDa) and lower neutral sugar content (35.1%) but hi ...
... To prepare pumpkin juice (PJ) rich in coenzyme Q10, this study analyzed the chemical composition, antioxidant activity, and gut microbiota of pumpkin juice fermented by Rhodobacter sphaeroides (RPJ). The number of viable bacteria in the juice reached 2.8 × 10⁸ CFU/mL; the fermentation process mainly consumed glucose and sucrose; the total sugar content was reduced, β-carotene was reduced, and a ne ...

Abstract:
... Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) is one of the most pivotal economic crops with an exceptional nutritional value. Based on its high global consumption, understanding the fruit growth patterns and nutrient accumulation at each developmental stage is crucial for the field and production management of high-quality goji berry cultivars. In this study, a fruit growth and development model of goji berry ...

Abstract:
... Despite growing evidence that warning labels reduce purchases of sugary drinks, less is known about warnings' impact on purchases of sugary snacks. This paper aimed to experimentally test whether a front-of-package label warning about high sugar content (“sugar warning label”) would reduce parents' likelihood of selecting a labeled snack versus a non-labeled snack for their child in a food store s ...

Abstract:
... A device for assessing the maturity of watermelons by an acoustic method has been developed. The Piezoelectric Transducers (PZTs) have been used as a transmitter and a receiver so that the measurement of sound velocity transmitting through the surface of a watermelon can be taken to assess its sugar content. The sound frequency was 4.7 kHz and the distance between the transmitter and the receiver ...
sugarcontent, etc ; adults; breakfast; food quality; nutrition information; sugars; Portugal; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... In Portugal, about one-fourth of the adult population exceeds the recommended daily amount of free sugars intake. This excessive consumption may be due to a lack of awareness of the sugar content of commonly available processed products. In two studies, we explored this assumption by asking participants (convenient samples) to evaluate the sugar content of breakfast cereals based on the front-of-p ...

Abstract:
... The UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), announced in March 2016 and implemented in April 2018, is a fiscal policy to incentivise reformulation of eligible soft drinks. We aimed to explore perceptions of sugar, sugary drinks and the SDIL among adolescents in the UK post-implementation. 23 adolescents aged 11–14 years participated in four focus groups in 2018–2019. A semi-structured topic guide eli ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the use of added sugars and non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) in 4805 packaged foods (including non-alcoholic beverages) sold in a major supermarket in Brazil. The ingredient lists of all products were searched for the presence of added sugars and NNS. The added sugar content was estimated and compared between products containing added sugar, with and without NNS. Using criter ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of different date of insecticidal treatment against Noctuinae caterpillars on the technological yield from sugar beet using the additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model. The AMMI model is one of the most widely used statistical tools in the analysis of multiple-environment trials. The results of the analysis of the dependence ...
sugarcontent, etc ; Citrus; citrus fruits; fruits; models; near-infrared spectroscopy; prediction; sweetness; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... As consumers’ preference for sweetness in food products is increasing, most agricultural product processing complexes currently operate sugar-screening machines. However, every season, the entire prediction models have to be modified to fit the fruit species cultivated that season using a long-drawn process, because separate models are required for each species. Therefore, in this study, species-i ...

Abstract:
... Manual fruit thinning (MFT) in fruit trees has been previously shown to increase fruit size and enhance fruit quality, but the effect of MFT on Ponkan (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, efforts were made to elucidate how MFT influences the fruit quality of Ponkan. The results showed that MFT substantially increased fruit size and eleva ...

Abstract:
... Attempts to reduce the sugar content of carbonated drinks are ongoing. Reducing the sugar content while maintaining the sensory quality requires the development of an effective sensory test method that can measure a consumers’ perceived sensory difference and preference of reformulated products against the reference product. The A-Not A with reminder (A-Not AR) method (sometimes called the reminde ...

Abstract:
... The optimal harvesting of table grapes is commonly determined based on technological and phenolic indices analyzed over the course of its maturity. The classical techniques used for these analyses are destructive, time-consuming, and work for a limited number of samples that may not represent the heterogeneity of the vineyard. This study aimed to follow the ripening season of table grapes using no ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: To determine the maturity of cantaloupe, measuring the soluble solid content (SSC) as the indicator of sugar content based on the refractometric index is commonly practised. This method, however, is destructive and limited to a small number of samples. In this study, the coupling of a convolutional neural network (CNN) with machine vision was proposed in detecting the SSC of cantaloupe ...
