Why do sugar solutions have diffrent degrees of sweetness?
There can be two reasons. First is the different solutions can contain different amounts of sugar. The other is that different sugars have different levels of sweetness. Of the common sugars, lactose is the least sweet, then glucose, sucrose and fructose.
What is mucic acid test?
A music acid is an aldaric acid obtained by nitric acid oxidation of galactose. A music acid test helps distinguish galactose and lactose from other reducing sugars.
Methods of testing reducing substances in stool samples?
The Faecal Reducing Substances test is performed in a laboratory, on a sample of stool as small as 5 grams. Unfortunately this sample needs to be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible, preferably within 1 hour. This is because lactose (or other sugars) in the stool will normally be broken down by chemical processes within 2-4 hours afetr the specimen is produced. Faecal Reducing Substances may be ordered by your doctor for symptoms suggestive of lactose intolerance, for example frequent loose stools, particularly if they are frothy in nature. Lactose intolerance may occur after a prolonged episode of viral gastroenteritis, due to inadequate absorption of the sugar lactose by a damaged intestinal lining. Other conditions, in which other sugars, such as glucose, galactose and fructose are not absorbed properly, can also cause a positive test for reducing sugars in the stool. Faecal Reducing Substances are reported as: * Negative - this is the normal result and means that the body is digestying and absorbing sugars properly * Positive - this means there are substances in the stool that can act as 'reducing agents', i.e. there are forms of sugar in the stool that have not been absorbed by the body * General Practitioner (GP) * General Physician * Gastroenterologist * Infectious Diseases Physician * Paediatrician * Travel Medicine Physician * Endoscopy of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract * Colonoscopy * Stool MCS (Microscopy, Culture and Sensitivity) * Endoscopy of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract * Colonoscopy * Urea & Electrolytes * Liver Function Tests * Full Blood Count Faecal Reducing Sugar Reference: http://healthengine.com.au/tests/other/faecal_sugars.html
Are starches and sugars carbohydrates?
Yes; they are what we usually mean by carbohydrates, although there are other carbohydrates that are not starches or sugars.
What is Lactose?
Well 'lactose' is the name of the sugar found in milk.The other names are: milk sugarand officially (IUPAC): β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose
Can lactase act on any other sugar besides lactose?
It is possible for lactase to act on other sugars besides lactose. One specific sugar is the sucrose. However, most acts have problems digesting other forms of sugars.
What does lactobacteria break down?
They break down lactose and other sugars to lactic acid
What is the latin name for simple sugar?
Sucrose. Other types of sugars include Fructose from fruits and Lactose from milk.
Is yoghurt an acid?
Yoghurt contains lactic acid, a product of conversion by lactobacillus bacteria of lactose (and other sugars). This is why its flavour has such a distinctive tang.
What happens when e coli is mixed with glucose sucrose and lactose?
E. coli will always metabolize glucose when present to avoid using excess energy to breakdown the other sugars into their subunits (lactose breaks down into glucose and galatose etc.)

The chemical elements in a non reducing sugar?
frictose glucose lactose
What is mucic acid test?
A music acid is an aldaric acid obtained by nitric acid oxidation of galactose. A music acid test helps distinguish galactose and lactose from other reducing sugars.
Why is milk sweet in taste?
That's because the lactose is broken down into two other easily digested sugars which are sweeter: breaks into galactose and glucose... this occurs through hydrolysis in the milk prior to drinking it ( because lactase is found in the milk, which contains lactose), thus creating a sweeter milk).
What is presumptive tax?
Presumptive tax is a way of applying a tax using indirect methods. These methods may be income reconstruction, or other methods. This is a good way to ensure the tax is not avoided.
What microorganisms other than coliforms that are reliable to give positive presumptive test?
klebsiella
What is the treatment for Lactose intolerance?
If there is no way that lactose can be omitted from your diet the only other solution is to pair your lactose intake with a lactose additives, which can be purchased at most drug stores.
