REFINED SUGAR [16 records]

Record 1 2024-10-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology
  • Dietetics
CONT

A nutrition transition describes dietary and nutritional changes driven by economic, social, and demographic shifts... The most common contemporary nutrition transition is from a diet of relatively diverse low-fat, low-salt, high-fiber foods acquired via physically intensive labor to a low-diversity, low-fiber diet of refined and processed foods high in calories, fat, salt, cholesterol, and sugar. In early transitional stages these changes can improve food security and health, but they have also been linked to the increase in chronic noninfectious diseases [e. g., obesity, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes(T2D) ]...

Subject field(s)
  • Dietetics
DEF

A diet approximating that of hunter-gatherers of the Paleolithic period and consisting mainly of preagricultural foods(such as lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds) and strictly limiting foods(such as dairy products, legumes, grains, potatoes, and refined sugar) which did not exist prior to the development of agricultural practices.

Key term(s)
  • palaeolithic diet

French

Domaine(s)
  • Diététique
CONT

La théorie derrière le populaire «régime paléo» est [...] séduisante [...] : le système digestif humain a évolué pendant des millions d'années pour s'adapter à l'alimentation de nos ancêtres chasseurs-cueilleurs de la préhistoire. Alors en principe, le régime idéal pour les humains modernes devrait être celui qui s'en approche le plus, non? Mais que mangeaient-ils, au juste, les hommes et les femmes des cavernes? Selon les tenants du régime paléo, il faut éviter tout ce qui n'existait pas encore à l'époque (produits laitiers, aliments transformés, légumineuses, céréales, etc.) et s'inspirer des proportions de viande, de fruits et légumes et de noix dont se nourrissaient les chasseurs-cueilleurs.

La sacarosa -comúnmente llamada azúcar de mesa- es un disacárido formado por glucosa y fructosa, que proporciona cuatro calorías por gramo o aproximadamente 16 calorías por cucharada de té. La sacarosa se obtiene de la caña de azúcar o de la remolacha azucarera. El proceso de refinación remueve las impurezas de la caña de azúcar y produce los cristales blancos que conocemos con el nombre de azúcar.

CONT

La sacarosa o sucrosa, conocida como azúcar de mesa, se obtiene por medio de la trituración y extracción de la caña de azúcar con agua o extraída del azúcar de remolacha (beta vulgaris) con agua, evaporando y purificando con cal, carbono y varios líquidos.

CONT

La sacarosa es soluble en el agua, poco soluble en el alcohol e insoluble en el éter.

The overall marketing allotment quantity is divided between refined beet sugar... and raw cane sugar... Allocations for mainland cane sugar producing States are assigned based on past marketings of sugar, the ability to market sugar in the current year, and past processing levels. Beet sugar processors are assigned allotments based on their sugar production for the 1998-2000 crop years. The 2002 Farm Act provides for a number of contingencies that could require reassignment of allotments during the crop year.

CONT

Raw sugar is light brown and slightly sticky because the crystals have a thin film of molasses clinging to them. Refining removes this film and produces white crystals of sugar. First the raw sugar is rinsed of its brownish film. Then the crystals are dissolved in water and the liquid is filtered to remove impurities. The sugar is then crystallized, and the crystals are separated from the liquid by centrifuges and dried in hot air. The liquid must be centrifuged several times. Other methods of refining involve the use of milk of lime, carbon dioxide, and repeated boiling. The refined crystals are classified and stored in bins to be packaged or sent to market.

El azúcar moreno es cribado para separar los terrones. Si se destina al consumo doméstico ha de ser refinado (para convertirlo en azúcar blanco) y presentado en formas y calidades muy diferentes. En ciertos casos se obtiene una refinación suficiente por simple lavado de los cristales. Generalmente consiste el refinado en una redisolución del azúcar en agua, seguida de un filtrado y de una nueva elaboración (cocción, cristalización y centrifugado).

DEF

Mixture of sugar crystals and syrup which has been produced by boiling the crystals out of the syrup.

CONT

Sugar beets are processed as follows : after removing the juice from the beet pulp, it is refined by double carbonation, during which impure substances such as colorants, salts and proteins are precipitated. After carbonation the juice is heated several times and thickened until it reaches its saturation point. Then it crystallises and a crystalline mass if formed : the masse-cuite. In high-speed centrifuges the masse-cuite is separated into a solid part(sugar) and a liquid part(syrup). The syrup is then used again as a basis for sugar production and what is left over after that process is called molasses, which still contains 50% sugar...

À ce stade le jus clair contenant 13 % de sucre et environ 87 % d'eau, est concentré par évaporation sous vide dans une série de chaudières à vapeur successives. Le jus passe à travers des tubes en contact avec la vapeur et est porté à ébullition, peu à peu il devient sirop et contient environ 60 % de sucre. Le sirop achève sa concentration dans des chaudières à cuire travaillant sous vide pour éviter sa caramélisation, il est ainsi amené à l'état de sursaturation. À ce moment apparaissent au sein du sirop dense appelé à ce stade «masse cuite» les premiers cristaux de sucre, puis la cristallisation se généralise et la masse cuite est formée de multiples petits cristaux enrobés dans un sirop coloré par les impuretés résiduelles.
