What is HFCS?
HFCS stands for high fructose corn syrup. There are two main types of HFCS used in foods and beverages: HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The numbers represent the amount of fructose in the product. HFCS-55 is composed of 55% fructose with the rest mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the rest mainly glucose. HFCS-55 is equally sweet as sugar and is used in sodas and other carbonated beverages as a replacement for sugar. HFCS-42 is slightly less sweet and is used in condiments, dairy products and baked goods. High fructose corn syrup has 4 calories per gram, which is the same as other carbohydrates and caloric sweeteners like sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrates, fructose, etc.
How do you test the pH of liquids like beverages?
With a pH paper or more exactly with a pH-meter.
Does the temperature of juice affect its Ph balance?
Temperature plays a significant role on pH measurement. This is a well-know fact for most users of pH test equipment. However, the temperature affects not only your sensor but also your sample. All solutions will change their pH value with temperature. This is a result of the shifting of the chemical equilibrium of the components, mainly of dissociation.
Is high fructose corn syrup?
High fructose corn syrup is a caloric sweetener made from corn. It has a composition that is similar to sugar or sucrose. The are two types of high fructose corn syrup commonly used in foods and beverages. HFCS-55 is made up of 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. It is commonly used as a sweetener in soda. HFCS-42 is made up of 42% fructose and the remaining 58% is primarily glucose. It is used in condiments, baked goods and fruit-flavored beverages.
What is normal urine pH?
A pH level between 6.5 and 8 is considered healthy for human body. In a pH balanced body, urine is slightly acid in the morning, (pH = 6.5 - 7.0) generally becoming more alkaline (pH = 7.5 - 8.0) by evening in healthy people primarily because no food or beverages are consumed while sleeping.
Can non dairy creamer be used in acid beverages such as squash with pH 3?
I am pretty sure that you can. Try it and see. hop emy answer helps
Is sugar in HFCS?
yes it is, it is actually a huge part of it!
Does hfcs contain Mercury?
NO! it does not contain Hf-cs
Is HFCS a GMO?
Since at least 70% to 80% or more of the corn grown in the United States is GMO, it is likely that HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) sold in the U.S. is GMO.
Can Sodium bisulphate be used to correct pH in potable water?
Yes; it lowers pH and it is used commercially in certain beverages. However, you must make certain that you're using food-grade sodium bisulphate, and also that you're not using too much.
Does See's Candies chocolates have HFCS in them?
Nope. See's Candies are the bomb.
Is high fructose corn syrup a carbohydrate?
High fructose corn syrup, like other caloric sweeteners, contributes 4 calories per gram. It is not pure fructose. The most common types of high fructose corn syrup used in foods and beverages are HFCS-55 and HFCS-42. The number in the name denotes the percentage of fructose in the composition. So HFCS-55 is 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. HFCS-42 is 42% fructose with the other 58% mainly glucose. Most caloric sweeteners simply provide calories. Honey does have some protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, but all these components together add up to less than half of a percent (<0.5%). So you'd have to eat a lot to gain any nutritional benefit.
