How do you verify that a soft-drink contains diet soda rather than soda sweetened with fructose?
To verify whether a soft drink contains Diet Soda instead of fructose-sweetened soda, you can check the ingredient list on the label for artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, sucralose, or stevia, which are commonly used in diet sodas. Additionally, you can look for the term "diet" in the product name, as this usually indicates the absence of sugar. For more precise analysis, laboratory testing can be conducted to measure the levels of sugars versus artificial sweeteners.

How could you verify that a soft drink container contains diet soft drink rather than soft drink sweetened?
Use the benedict's solution test to determine the existence of sugars
Is orange juice a disaccharide?
No, orange juice is not a disaccharide. It primarily contains sugars such as fructose and glucose, which are monosaccharides. While orange juice also contains some sucrose, a disaccharide, the juice itself is a liquid that contains a mixture of various compounds, including vitamins and minerals, rather than being classified solely by its sugar content.
Is a battery an example of stored energy?

What kind of sugar is in Coca-Cola if someone allergic to refined sugar would be able to drink it?
Depending on the bottler of the sugar-sweetened varieties of Coke, the drink may contain high-fructose corn syrup instead of refined sugar. Conversely, some bottlers of Pepsi have labeled some of their output as definitely containing sugar rather than corn syrup, due to some negative consumer responses.
Does Grand Marnier contain High Fructose Corn Syrup?
No, Grand Marnier does not contain high fructose corn syrup. The liqueur is primarily made from a blend of cognac and distilled essence of bitter orange, along with sugar and other natural ingredients. The sweetness in Grand Marnier comes from sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup.
Is Mountain Dew made with real sugar?
Yes, no (or, rather, "only partially"), and maybe.Pepsi has recently (Dec 2009) released something called "Mountain Dew Throwback" which is made with sucrose only rather than "high fructose corn sweetener." Sucrose is what most people mean when they say "real sugar."Regular Mountain Dew is made at least partially with high fructose corn sweetener, which is a mixture of fructose and glucose.However, fructose and glucose are both "sugars" in a chemistry sense, so even that is technically made with sugar... just not table sugar (cane sugar/beet sugar), which is sucrose.
Why does fructose give a positive Benedicts test?
Benedict's test detects the presense of the aldehyde group. Fructose is a ketose rather than an aldose, but it's converted to glucose or mannose (both of which are aldoses) by the base in Benedict's reagent. All monosaccharides give a positive Benedict's test because they're all either aldoses or alpha-hydroxy ketoses that get transformed into aldoses. Sucrose does not, because while it contains fructose and glucose, both of which do test postive, the saccharides in sucrose are "locked" into hemiacetal form and cannot undergo ring opening to expose an aldehyde group. (It's a very weak lock; dilute acid ... like, say, lemon juice ... will hydrolyse the saccharide linkage and allow the hemiacetal rings to open.)
What is one food related habit that you can change to improve how you eat?
eliminate high fructose corn syrup and eat whole foods rather than processed foods.
Why is fructose rather than glucose used in slimming foods?
Fructose is often used in slimming foods because it is sweeter than glucose, allowing for a lower amount to be used to achieve the desired level of sweetness. Additionally, fructose has a lower glycemic index than glucose, meaning it does not cause blood sugar levels to spike as much, which can be beneficial for weight management.
What food group is sprite?
Sprite is a soft drink and primarily falls under the category of sugary beverages, which are not considered a traditional food group. It contains carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup or sugar, and flavorings, but lacks significant nutritional value. Therefore, it is best enjoyed in moderation as a treat rather than as part of a balanced diet.
What is the past tense of the verb sweet?
Sweetened Sweet is an adjective rather than a verb. Sweeten is a verb, and, as stated above, sweetened is its past tense. Another answer with additional information: Verbs in English have four forms: present tense, present participle, past tense, and past participle. You can always get it correct by substituting: Present tense: Today I sweeten. Present participle (sometimes called gerund): Now I am sweetening. Past tense: Yesterday I sweetened. Present or past participle: I have sweetened. Listen to yourself speak. If you speak correct English, it works for all verbs.
Why do athletes drink solutions of glucose rather then solutions of sucrose?
Glucose can be more quickly metabolized, as sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose and must be broken down into simple sugars first.
