Background: Sorbitol is the major sugar alcohol in apple and its accumulation in fruit is associated with fruit sweetness. However, little is known about variation in sorbitol content in fruits of apple germplasm. In this study, we investigated sorbitol content in mature fruits of 243 apple ...
Define sorbitol. sorbitol synonyms, sorbitol pronunciation, sorbitol translation, English dictionary definition of sorbitol. n. A white, sweetish, crystalline alcohol, C6H8 6, found in various berries and fruits or prepared synthetically and used as a fl
Sorbitol can be naturally found in different fruits and some vegetables. Sorbitol is characterized by polymorphism; the gamma crystalline form with a Tm between 95.3 and 98 ∘C is the most stable form [48,64]. The measured sample of sorbitol considered in the present work was purchased from...
The levels of sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, and xylose in several Finnish wild berries were determined gas chromatographically. The highest amount of xylitol occurred in raspberries (Rubus idueus) (approx 400 μg per 1.0g of fresh weight). In other fruits the concentrations ranged from 7.5–280...
Light did not influence growth of McIntosh callus between o and 3350 lx, although slight stimulation in growth occurred at 7800 lx. The chlorophyll content of the cultures increased with light intensity, although that of Cortland was very low at all intensities. Tissue analysis of cultures grown ...
18. The method of claim 14 wherein the evaporation is carried out under vacuum. 19. The method of claim 14 wherein the sorbitol solution comprises about 70% sorbitol and about 30% water. 20. The method of claim 14 wherein the syrup is evaporated to a moisture content of less than abou...
SORBITOL is a polyhydric alcohol found commonly in the Rosaceae: in apples it can constitute a large proportion of the dry matter. Little is known, however, of its metabolism in higher plants. Edson 1 referred to a sorbitol dehydrogenase in animals and micro-organisms and mentioned a similar ...
An F1 hybrid population of the apple cultivars 'Honeycrisp' × 'Qinguan' was used to investigate the quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions and genes controlling Fru content in fruit. A stable QTL on linkage group (LG) 01 in 'Honeycrisp' was detected on the single nucleotide polymorphism (...
The results reveal that while sorbitol/xylitol content in the juice samples obtained from arils of five different pomegranate varieties ranged between 61-190 mg/L, the amount of sorbitol/xylitol in juice samples obtained from the peel of fruits was between 408 and 864 mg/L.Ilkay Tuerkmen Ozen...
SA in different concentrations (0.5 mM and 1.0 mM) greatly improved the characteristics of tomato, such as red color tone, soluble solid content, hardness and weight as well as increasing the functional food contents such as of lycopene, anthocyanins and vitamins in comparison with the control. ...
