... This study proposed a strategy for the production of lactide from biomass-derived carbohydrate with excellent yield, involving sugar to racemic lactic acid conversion over Sn-containing Beta zeolite and racemic lactic acid to lactide conversion over H-Beta zeolite. Structural characteristics of the resulting lactide and extensive applicability for various substrates are also presented. ...
... This paper utilizes novel household panel data to analyze the effect of online grocery shopping on the healthfulness of grocery purchases. We utilize variation in the timing that an online shopping service was introduced as a source of exogenous variation in the decision to shop online. Relative to pre‐online service averages, our estimates indicate that online shopping baskets allocate 10.2 (21.7 ...

Abstract:
... Nucleoside diphosphate sugar (NDP-sugar) substrates provide the inspiration for nucleoside analogue inhibitor scaffolds. By employing solid-phase synthesis, we provide a method to access a library of peptidouridine inhibitors with both minimal compound handling and purification steps. Specifically, this strategy is exemplified by generating uridine diphosphate sugar (UDP-sugar) mimics, which allow ...

Abstract:
... A review of the scientific literature from 1993 to 2021 was performed using topic terms related to impurities in sugarcane processing. The aim here is to show the issues related to raw materials, extracted juice, and end-product sugar. These impurities are inherent in manufacturing cane sugar, implying a need for specialized analytical methods that show reliability, high throughput, and accessibil ...
... Rural economies and agri-food systems are strongly affected by institutions and institutional settings, as evidenced by many scholars exploring the impact of agricultural policies. By contrast, intangible forms of institutions (e.g. routines, conventions) inscribed in economic practices and their interplay with formal institutions are not yet well understood within the field of agri-food studies. ...

Abstract:
... Celebrities, including influencers, are commonly used to market products that are high in fat, sugar, and salt (HFSS) to children but the impact on dietary outcomes has been unclear. The primary aim of this study was to systematically review the literature and quantify the impact of celebrities in HFSS marketing on children’s dietary outcomes. We searched eight databases and included studies from ...

Abstract:
... A convergent approach for the stereoselective total synthesis of zeaenol and cochliomycin A is reported. The key steps involved are alkyne generation using Ohira-Bestmann reagent onto sugar lactol, NaH mediated one-pot esterification and acetonide deprotection, Trost’s protocol of hydrosilylation followed by protodesilylation to get exclusively E-olefin from internal alkyne and ring closing metath ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane breeding programs aim to deliver new high-yielding varieties, resistant to diseases and pests, which contribute to profitability and sustainability of cane industries. These programs generally mobilize significant experimental, technological and human resources on long-term basis. Their efficiency in terms of genetic gains per unit of cost and time and their ability to release new variet ...

Abstract:
... Sugarcane is an important crop to the Australian economy, and the plant breeding program has contributed significantly to the success of the sugarcane industry. Currently, the Australian sugarcane breeding program is conducted at 6 research stations by Sugar Research Australia in collaboration with Wilmar Sugar. Crossing is mainly conducted in Meringa, whereas selection is carried out at 6 differe ...

Abstract:
... The production of volatile species in torrefaction of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin extracted from woody and agricultural biomass was quantified as a function of temperature. The novel coupling of TGA to GC/MS through a heated storage loop system allowed sampling volatile species released at 11 different temperatures in a single torrefaction experiment between 200 and 300 °C, at 3 °C.min⁻¹. ...
sugars, etc ; acetic acid; acetylation; catalysts; cellulose; paper; saponification; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Gaseous acetic acid is formed under conditions of storage of historic paper objects. Its presence not only promotes hydrolytic cleavage of cellulose, but also causes acetylation of the cellulosic material to very small degree. The acetylation reaction proceeds under ambient conditions and without catalyst. Different analytical methods were used to prove the presence of organic acetates on cellulos ...

Abstract:
... Application of statistical analysis and quantitative genetics varies among sugarcane breeding programs around the world. Some methods and concepts are difficult to understand for those without an educational background in statistics. This paper is mainly targeted at readers with little prior experience in statistical analysis and quantitative genetics and aims to encourage further study and applic ...

Abstract:
... Currently, the feasibility to replace standard efficiency electric motors with higher efficiency ones is assessed with considerations differing from real operating conditions in the industry. This study compares the feasibility of replacing 26 standard efficiency motors (IE1) with high-efficiency efficiency ones (IE2 and IE3) in a sugar plant, based on three different energy scenarios and consider ...

Abstract:
... Coconut is one of the key plantation commodities in the Mempawah Regency that needs to be developed. This is necessary in order to increase the income of coconut sugar craftsmen and also allow them gain knowledge of the industrial scale through feasibility studies on the agro-industry. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the structure of production cost and operating income as well as the feasib ...

Abstract:
... The phloem enables vascular plants to transport photoassimilates from source tissues to heterotrophic sink tissues. In the phloem, unbroken strings of enucleated sieve elements, which lose the majority of their cellular contents upon maturation, provide a low resistance path for mass flow. The protein machinery in mature sieve elements performs vital functions to maintain the flow, transmit system ...

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been conducted on this topic, however, the majority have examined adults, or a combination of adults and children, therefore, an up-to-date meta-analysis is needed to examine the impact of confederate peers on children's food intake. We systematically reviewed and meta-analysed the influence of confederate peers on ...

Abstract:
... Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) technique is promising to increase the dissolution of hydrophobic drug in aqueous solution systems, including in vivo. However, there is a serious lack of understanding of the impact of the molecular characteristics of a hydrophobic drug on the aqueous dissolution behavior of the drug from the ASD. This is because there are many structural differences between diffe ...
