  2. Sucrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose

    Sucrose is formed by plants, algae and cyanobacteria but not by other organisms. Sucrose is the end product of photosynthesis and is found naturally in many food plants along with the monosaccharide fructose. In many fruits, such as pineapple and apricot, sucrose is the main sugar. In others, such as grapes and pears, fructose is the main sugar.

  3. Brix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    In the early 1800s, Karl Balling, followed by Adolf Brix, and finally the Normal-Commissions under Fritz Plato, prepared pure sucrose solutions of known strength, measured their specific gravities and prepared tables of percent sucrose by mass vs. measured specific gravity. Balling measured specific gravity to 3 decimal places, Brix to 5, and ...

  4. Mass fraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_fraction_(chemistry)

    Mass fraction can also be expressed, with a denominator of 100, as percentage by mass (in commercial contexts often called percentage by weight, abbreviated wt.% or % w/w; see mass versus weight). It is one way of expressing the composition of a mixture in a dimensionless size ; mole fraction (percentage by moles , mol%) and volume fraction ...

  5. Carbon snake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_snake

    When sucrose is dehydrated, heat is given out to the surroundings in an exothermic reaction, while graphite and liquid water are produced by the decomposition of the sugar: [3] C 12 H 22 O 11 ( s ) + H 2 SO 4 ( aq ) + 1/2 O 2 ( g ) → 11 C ( s ) + CO 2 ( g ) + 12 H 2 O ( g ) + SO 2 ( g )

  6. List of sugars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sugars

    Beet sugar [1] – made from sugar beets, contains a high concentration of sucrose; Birch syrup – around 42-54% fructose, 45% glucose, plus a small amount of sucrose; Brown sugar [1] – Consists of a minimum 88% sucrose and invert sugar. Commercial brown sugar contains from 4.5% molasses (light brown sugar) to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar ...

  7. Mass concentration (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_concentration_(chemistry)

    In water solutions containing relatively small quantities of dissolved solute (as in biology), such figures may be "percentivized" by multiplying by 100 a ratio of grams solute per mL solution. The result is given as "mass/volume percentage". Such a convention expresses mass concentration of 1 gram of solute in 100 mL of solution, as "1 m/v %".

  8. Sugars in wine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugars_in_wine

    Sucrose is a disaccharide, a molecule composed of the two monosaccharides glucose, and fructose. Invertase is the enzyme cleaves the glycosidic linkage between the glucose and fructose molecules. In most wines, there will be very little sucrose, since it is not a natural constituent of grapes and sucrose added for the purpose of chaptalisation ...

  9. Baker percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

    An ingredient's mass is obtained by multiplying the formula mass by that ingredient's true percentage; because an ingredient's true percentage is that ingredient's baker's percentage divided by the formula percentage expressed as parts per hundred, an ingredient's mass can also be obtained by multiplying the formula mass by the ingredient's ...
