The hydration behavior of sugars varies from each other and examining the underlying mechanism is challenging. In this study, the hydration behavior of glucose, fructose, allulose (aka rare sugar), and sucrose have been explored using different Time Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD‐NMR) approaches (relaxation times, self‐diffusion, and Magic Sandwich Echo (MSE)). For that purpose, the effects of different sugar concentrations (2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) (w/v) and hydration at different times for 1 day were investigated by T2 relaxation times and self‐diffusion coefficients. Crystallinity values of the solid and hydrated sugars were also determined with MSE. Change in T2 relaxation times with concentration showed that the fastest binding with water (parallel with the shortest T2 values) was observed for sucrose for all concentrations followed by glucose, fructose, and allulose. Furthermore, dependency of T2 relaxation times with hydration time showed that sucrose was the fastest in binding with water followed by glucose, fructose, and allulose. The study showed that allulose, one of the most famous rare sugars that is known to be a natural low‐calorie sugar alternative, had the lowest interaction with water than the other sugars. TD‐NMR was suggested as a practical, quick, and accurate technique to determine the hydration behavior of sugars.

This study involves the investigation of antioxidant phenolic and flavonoid compounds in Rheum ribes L. There is a continuous mounting pressure, in the scientific world, to discover new and potent antioxidants, to combat the free radicals. Among the antioxidant compounds, the phenolics and flavonoids comprise the largest class, and thus hold an important place in biochemical studies. Rheum ribes belong to the family of Polygonaceae in the genus Rheum, which is consumed as a medicinal plant. Since this plant...
Estimation of lipid properties related to supercritical fluid extraction
Yener, Meryem Esra (2001-01-01)
The correlations for vapor pressures of fatty acids, fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters, and simple triglycerides were given based on the available data in the literature. The developed equations enable easy estimation of the critical properties. The group contribution methods were used to develop the estimation method. The estimated properties of the most common lipids were tabulated and the differences between the estimation methods were critically discussed.
Investigation of bioprocess parameters for glucose isomerase production by Bacillus thermoantarcticus
Haykır, Işık; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
In this study, the effects of bioprocess parameters on glucose isomerase roduction by Bacillus thermoantarcticus (DSMZ 9572) were investigated. For his purpose, firstly, in laboratory scale shake-bioreactors, a defined medium was designed in terms of its carbon and nitrogen sources, to achieve the highest glucose isomerase activity. Optimum concentrations of medium components were determined by a statistical approach, namely Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM defined the relationship between the respon...
Investigation of the fluidity of biological fluids with a PDDTBN spin probe
Severcan, Feride; Acar, B; Gokalp, S (1997-06-01)
The aim of this study is to ascertain whether the electron spin resonance technique using perdeutero-di-t-butyl nitroxide (PDDTBN) as a spin probe is able to monitor relative fluidity changes occurring in body fluids, such as blood and parotid saliva, according to different physiological conditions. The present study reveals that the spin probe PDDTBN is able to monitor the fluidity changes in parotid saliva related to habitual smoking, and in whole blood related to the estradiol level. The rotational corre...
Characterization of Pectin-Based Gels: A 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry Study
Beira, Maria J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Sebastião, Pedro J. (2021-10-01)
Rare sugars are monosaccharides and their derivatives that are not commonly found in nature. d-Allulose is a rare sugar that is C-3 epimer of fructose and presents an alternative to sucrose with potential health benefits. In this study, different amounts of sucrose, d-allulose, and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used to prepare a set of pectin gels. The effect of these ingredients on the gels was studied at both a molecular level, by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry, and a macroscopic level, ...
