The difference in the elementary composition of the earth's crust and living matter is even more striking when we consider the composition by weight of the dry or solid portion of living matter, excluding its water content, which amounts to over 75 percent. 1, record 1, English, - elementary%20composition

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in glucose syrups due to the development of large scale processes for the enzymatic isomerization of glucose. Starch is now the cheapest and the most available material for the production of glucose; and this process, using soluble amyloglucosidase, has been studied well and has been used in industry for a long time in many countries. 1, record 2, English, - enzymatic%20isomerization

La fluctuation des cours mondiaux du sucre de canne ou de betterave a entraîné le développement de la fabrication des sirops de glucose à partir d’amidon de céréales. L'isomérisation enzymatique d’une fraction du glucose conduit à des sirops à 42 % de fructose(exprimés en matière sèche) dont le pouvoir sucrant est comparable à celui du saccharose. Or la glucose isomérase fixée présente des caractéristiques intéressantes : son utilisation sur de longues périodes compense son prix de production élevé, elle est stable à 60 ° et son taux de conversion de glucose en fructose est bon. 1, record 2, French, - isom%C3%A9risation%20enzymatique
