suggesting that both genes are capable of reducing fruit sugar content to some extent (they act semi-redundantly). Both kinases interact with the enzyme sucrose synthase 4, which makes sucrose ...

Benedict's solution gradually turns from blue to cloudy orange or brick red when heated with a reducing sugar. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar and does not react with Benedict's solution.

The sucrose molecule has many oxygen-hydrogen (O–H) bonds which are polar. The charge-density model shows the positive areas near the hydrogen atom as blue and the negative area near the oxygen atom ...

However, new research shows that it may be beneficial to cut back how much sugar young children consume. A study published Friday in the journal Science found that reducing sugar in the first ...

Swapping other forms of sugar for maple syrup may improve blood sugar, blood pressure, abdominal fat and gut health.

The research indicates that mutations in the sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene, which plays a key role in breaking down sucrose (table sugar) and maltose (found in some cereals) into simple sugars for ...
