Monk fruit sweetener firm: ‘We hear daily that people are looking for alternatives to stevia’
The intensity of the sweetness in monk fruit concentrates is directly proportional to levels of a compound called Mogroside V. While monk fruit has been used as a sweetener in Asia for centuries, it hit the headlines in the 1990s when P&G patented a process for extracting Mogroside V and struck a deal with Amax NutraSource to distribute a concentrated version It might not have garnered as much publicity as stevia, but monk fruit (luo han guo) “ has found a niche within the all-natural market but will hit mass market sooner than stevia in this space”, according to one leading supplier. Steve Light, business development manager at Amax NutraSource, was speaking to FoodNavigator-USA at Expo West, where Amax was launching Perfecta, a zero-cal blend of monk fruit extract and erythritol. Perfecta - which is made using a granulation process that creates particles of a uniform size, eliminating sweetness separation - is the latest in a series of LHG-based sweeteners developed by Amax NutraSource.
Seaweed and other macroalgae could rival milk products as sources of functional ingredients such as heart healthy bioactive peptides, according to a new study. The review of almost 100 scientific studies, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry , reports that some seaweed proteins have the same effects as the bioactive peptides found in milk products and dairy products, and work to reduce blood pressure in a similar way to ACE inhibitor drugs. “Due to the environment in which they grow, macroalgae produce unique and interesting biologically active compounds,” said Maria Hayes and colleagues from Teagasc Food Research Centre, Ireland and the University of London, UK.

Bioempreendedorismo
Não é tão fácil como arrancar a cápsula de uma garrafa e beber pelo gargalo, mas, diz quem sabe, a cerveja feita em casa é “the real thing”. A comparação é de Pedro Sousa, um terço de "Os Três Cervejeiros": “As pessoas têm andado toda a vida a beber sumo de laranja enlatado e só agora vão provar o natural”. É cerveja. A cerveja. Genuína, não filtrada, 100% malte, sem conservantes nem corantes — apenas água, malte de cevada, lúpulo e levedura; mais turva do que a industrial.

List of Foods (with High Phytosterol) That Help Lower Serum Cholesterol | Cholesterol
Plant sterols, phytosterols, are cholesterol -like compounds that are found mostly in vegetable oils, nuts and legumes. There are about 44 sterols known to exist in plants. The most abundant phytosterols are, however, beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol. Phytosterols are not produced in the body. Thus, their sole source is diet.
Beer Alcohol Content - Specific Gravity - Beer Making
When ordering your beer in the bar, measures such as half pint, pint or liter are the norm. However, when it comes to home beer making and calculating beer alcohol content, specific gravity is the measurement of choice for the home beer brewer. Specific Gravity For reasons known only to history, the term 'specific gravity' refers to the density of any liquid. By convention, pure water is assigned an SG or specific gravity of 1.00 at 15.5C (60F) and is used as a standard. The 1.00 refers to the fact that the density of H2O, in metric units, is 1 kg per liter.
