Many of the national brands we drink were created in the

1800s and started as medicinal drinks

Nutrasweet = How was it discovered?

Aspartame 1965 while trying to develop a new ulcer drug, James Schlatter (G.D. Searle & Co.) was recrystalling aspartame (intermediate chemical) from ethanol, mixture spilled onto the outside of the flask. Some of the powder got onto his fingers. Later, when he licked his fingers to pick up a piece of paper, he noticed a very strong sweet taste.

maple syrup

Boiled sap from the sugar maple tree in SPRING. Sap contains only about 2% sugar. Water content reduced to 35% (40:1 reduction is necessary). For flavor development, boiling of the sap is necessary.

Brown sugar = Corn Syrup =

Brown sugar = 97% sucrose, 1% fructose, 1% glucose (granulated white sugar mixed with a small amount of molasses). Corn syrup = 8 to 96% glucose, 0% fructose, 0% sucrose (liquid made from cornstarch).

In 1870, a Philadelphia pharmacist, _____, spent time experimenting with root beer recipes while on his honeymoon. Made a combination of 16 roots, herbs and berries

Charles F. Hires

Most honey comes from ___ , where beekeepers are notorious for keeping their bees healthy with ____ (especially chloramphenicol) banned in North America because they seep into honey and contaminate it; packers there learn to mask the acrid notes of poor quality product by mixing in sugar or corn-based syrups to fake good taste.

China, antibiotics

Processing of honey

Comb is uncapped and centrifuged. May be pasteurized to kill yeasts and delay crystallization. Honey may be strained to remove wax particles and foreign matter, and perhaps filtered to remove pollen, air bubbles, and other fine particles.

substitutes needed when taking the sugar out in any product.

Macronutrient

Degradation:

Opening of ring structure as a result of cooking (acid conditions enhance); leads to further breakdown.

People with ___ should not use aspartame

PKU (phenylketonuria) affects one in 16,000 people.

4 steps in granulated sugar production

Plant material is crushed or sliced, and sugar is pressed or leached out. Juice is filtered, clarified and evaporated under a vacuum (at this point it is raw sugar containing ~3% impurities). Raw sugar is further refined by dissolving, purifying and recrystallizing to produce a granulated sugar. Wet sucrose crystals pressed into a cake and cut into cube or tablet form is called lump sugar.

Cocrystallized sucrose process

Process - supersaturated solution of sucrose is rapidly agitated with cooling, resulting in aggregates of micro-sized crystals that are 'sponge-like' A second ingredient can be absorbed or crystallized onto it; there is no settling-out of the second ingredient Second ingredients can be flavorings and additives for instant-type products

Pemberton

Produced Globe of Flower Cough Syrup, Indian Queen Hair Dye, Triplex Liver Pills and Extract of Styllinger (to improve one's blood). French Wine Coca, an "Ideal Nerve Tonic & Stimulant" was made with wine and coca leaves, but Atlanta adopted prohibition in 1886, so Coca-Cola™ was developed DEVELOPED COCA COLA (it was green at first)

HFCS blamed for

leading to diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndromes, increases in triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, liver disease.

Maltodextrins (from corn starch) -

less hydrolyzed to glucose than corn syrup solids, therefore less sweet with a very bland flavor, but contributes chewiness, binding properties, and viscosity to candy.

Sugars in dry form are ~100% carbohydrate, so foods high in sugars have ___ nutrient density; the more refined the sugar, the lower the level of accompanying nutrients.

low

Besides sweetening, table sugar also is fermentable by yeasts, and binds water to ___ available moisture and retard microbial growth in foods.

lower

Powdered sugars -

machine-ground from granulated sucrose; different grades based on particle size. (contain small amount of corn starch to prevent caking)

White crystalline glucose (~75 to 80% as sweet as sucrose) -

made from the complete hydrolysis of corn starch (used chiefly by the food industry).

John S. Pemberton of Atlanta, former Confederate calvaryman who became a pharmacist (or ______)

medicine man

Noncarbonated fruit beverages (not juices) are susceptible to

microbial spoilage, so in addition to preservatives, pasteurization is required (by heat or microfiltration)

Invert[sugar syrup is a .

mixture of glucose and fructose; it is obtained by splitting sucrose into these two components

Sweet taste of fruit comes mainly from _____, a group of triterpene glycosides that make up ~1% of the flesh of the fruit.

It looks like granulated sugar. 600 times sweeter than sucrose with no bitter aftertaste Very water-soluble and heat-stable, can be used in baked goods Does not interact with any other food component, but cariogenic

FDA states that honey cannot have >8% _____ (otherwise it's an indication of adulteration); also, no HFCS allowed.

sucrose

of molasses depends on what point of the crystallization process it is derived

sugar and mineral content LIGHT COLOR = FIRST CRYSTALIZATION DARK = LAST CRYSTALIZATION

Hires realized that the future of soda pop did not lie with home-brewed drinks, but in soda fountains where customers liked the convenience of

take-home bottles; he developed a liquid extract. Started bottling root beer in 1893

Caramelization:

Sugar crystals melt at 170°C (338°F), a complex chemical breakdown. Maillard reaction is involved

Functional properties of sugars
