  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of sugar-snap cookies containing various types and mixture ratios of sugar. The characteristics of sugar-snap cookies prepared with fructose, high-fructose corn syrup and invert sugar were examined through physical properties measurement and sensory evaluation. Results of the investigation suggest significant differences in the cookies made with various sugars. High-fructose corn syrup was better than others for making sugar-snap cookies. The quality of cookies baked with high-fructose corn syrup was improved compared to cookies baked with invert sugar or fructose. Varying the formula, with high-fructose corn syrup had little or no effect on the quality of the final product. Using different quantities of invert sugar and high-fructose corn syrup significantly affected the physical properties of the cookies. Sugar-snap cookies containing invert sugar had an extremely positive effect.

  • An innovative process for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) production coupled with direct saccharification of raw corn starch in the agitated bead enzyme reactor (bioattitor) was investigated. The required high concentration/purity of glucose solution suitable for isomerization was produced directly in a bioattritor. without condensation of hydrolyzate, 398 g glucose/$\ell$ and 98% glucose content from 400 g/$\ell$ (w/v) of raw corn starch after 24 hours. The unsaccharified residual starch could be separated easily upon centrifugation, and resaccharified. The obtained solution also possessed other desirable requirements as substrate for isomerization, such as. low concentrations of denatured protein and calcium ions, thereby, simplified the purification step. The obtained glucose solution was isomerized in an enzyme reactor paked with immobilized glucose isomerase to evaluate the suitability as a substrate. The proposed new HFCS process seems to have many advantages over the conventional process via liquefaction-saccharification steps. The follow-up investigations of the proposed process need to be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of industrial application.

  • The global consumption of fructose in the form of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has increased considerably over the past several decades. The current intake of HFCS exceeds that of other major caloric sweeteners such as sucrose. Fructose has potentially adverse effects on human metabolism. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the monosaccharide contents of 13 sweetened milk-based beverages by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The total monosaccharide (fructose and glucose) contents of various sweetened milk-based beverages ranged from 0.60 g/100 mL (cheese) to 26.03 g/100 mL (maple caramel snack), while milk showed only 0 g/100 mL monosaccharides. The fructose-to-glucose ratio of various popular sweetened milk-based beverages ranged from not-detected (ND) to 2.24 g/100 mL, but the content of glucose was higher than that of fructose in only three samples, namely, strawberry flavored milk, shrimp chips, and maple caramel snack. The analyzed results revealed important basic information about monosaccharides in various milk-based sweetened beverages, presenting ideas for future fructose research.

  • The starch industry in Korea had been based on sweet potato and potato for long time to produce starches which were used for mainly starch noodle such as cellophane noodle. Because of the poor storage stability, high price, and fluctuation of production by year and year of potatoes, the raw material for the production of starch had been changed to corn in 1970s. Along with this, the mass production system had been established, which enabled the production of various starch-related products including modified starches for food, textile, paper, and other industrial uses, starch sweetners, high fructose corn syrup, and gelatinized starch. In this paper, a brief background of corn industry in Korea has been described. The production of starch from corn has been emphasized and the future of corn industry in relation with GMO has been suggested.

  • Five different liquid sugars, invert sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sorbitol and oligosaccharide were compared to improve the shelf life of sponge cake and to decrease the contamination of microorganisms in the baking plant. Sucrose was used as a control. The use of 40% of liquid sugar was more effective than that of 20% on the staling and softness. Invert sugar showed the lowest water activity and the highest water holding capacity. Oligosaccharide showed the highest water activity and the lowest water holding capacity among loquid sugars used. 20% of replacemint of sucrose with invert sugar decreased the contamination more than 100% of sucrose.

  • Fructose in the form of sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is absorbed by the intestinal transporter and mainly metabolized in the small intestine. However, excess intake of fructose overwhelms the absorptive capacity of the small intestine, leading to fructose malabsorption. Carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP) is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor that plays a key role in glycolytic and lipogenic gene expression in response to carbohydrate consumption. While ChREBP was initially identified as a glucose-responsive factor in the liver, recent evidence suggests that ChREBP is essential for fructose-induced lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis in the small intestine as well as in the liver. We recently identified that the loss of ChREBP leads to fructose intolerance via insufficient induction of genes involved in fructose transport and metabolism in the intestine. As fructose consumption is increasing and closely associated with metabolic and gastrointestinal diseases, a comprehensive understanding of cellular fructose sensing and metabolism via ChREBP may uncover new therapeutic opportunities. In this mini review, we briefly summarize recent progress in intestinal fructose metabolism, regulation and function of ChREBP by fructose, and delineate the potential mechanisms by which excessive fructose consumption may lead to irritable bowel syndrome.

  • High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is widely used as sweetener, and its overconsumption is become a major health problem. In the present study, we used adult female rats and applied a 28 days HFCS feeding model to monitor the estrous cycle and changes in tissue weights and histology. Adult female rats were divided into three groups. Animals were fed with ad libitum normal chow and (1) 24 hours tap water (Control group), (2) 12 hours HFCS access during dark period and 12 hours tap water (12H group), and (3) 24 hours HFCS only access (24H group). Total exposure period was 28 days. There is no significant change in body weight between control and HFCS-fed animals. Both absolute and relative weights of ovary in 24H animals were significantly heavier than those in control or 12H animals. The absolute and relative weights of the kidney and liver in 24H groups were significantly heavier than those in control or 12H animals. The estrous cycles of the 24H animals were significantly longer. Histological analyses revealed that 24H ovaries were relatively bigger and possessed more corpus lutea than control ovaries. Uterine sections of 12H and 24H animals showed a well-developed stratum vasculare between inner and outer myometrial layers. The number of endometrial glands were decreased in 12H uteri, and recovered in 24H uteri compared to control. Numbers of convoluted tubule in distal region increased in 12H and 24H kidney samples. Liver specimens of 12H and 24H showed the increased number of fat containing vacuoles. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that HFCS treatment for 28 days could induce (1) changes in length of estrous cycle with extended estrous and diestrous stages, (2) altered ovarian and uterine histology, and (3) liver and renal lipid accumulation. These findings reveal the adverse effects of HFCS drinking on the reproductive function and lipid metabolism of female rats.

  • This study was designed to develop a process for the immobilization of xylose isomerase(D-xylose ketol isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) from Streptomyces griseolus previously isolated by the authors and its application on a pilot plant scale for the production of high fructose corn syrup. The biomass which has endo-excreted xylose isomerase was homogenized under a pressure of $500kg/cm^2$ and 90.8% of the enzyme recovery of the native activity was obtained as compared to 54.7% recovery by the lysozyme treatment. Ionic bonding method was adopted for the enzyme immobilization due to its many reported merits. It was found that the porous resins such as Diaion HP 20, Duolite A-7, Amberlite IRA 93 and 94 were effective in immobilizing the enzyme. In addition, it was disclosed that the regeneration form of $BO_4--$ is effective for Amberlite IRA 93 and $HCO_3-$ for Diaion HP 20. Optimal immobilization condition for Amberlite IRA 93 was pH 8.0 and $55^{\circ}C$ yielding 80.6% of immobilization. Activity decay test showed half life of the immobilized enzyme with Amberlite IRA 93 was more than 24 days at $65^{\circ}C$. The carrier was evaluated to be resuable and its result showed the relative immobilization yields were 98.2, 93.3, 90.7 and 87.5%, respectively at second, third, forth and fifth rebinding test of the enzyme on Amberlite IRA 93. Optimal temperature of the immobilized enzyme was slightly lowered and the range widened to $60\sim70^{\circ}C$, while optimal pH moved toward $8.0\sim8.3$ in its isomerization reaction. The trial production result of high fructose corn syrup in pilot scale immobilization showed that one liter of immobilized xylose isomerase (350 IXIU/ml-R) is capable producing about 293l high fructose corn syrup(75% dry substance) in 30 days.
