Maltose (malt sugar) is produced during the process of fermentation. It is made by concentrating sugar beet juice and or sugar cane. Invert sugar is a sugar that is made by dividing sucrose into its 2 parts: glucose and fructose. Some caloric sweeteners are made by processing sugar compounds. Turbinado sugar is made by refining sugar and making it more pure. Confectioner's sugar (also known as powdered sugar) is finely ground sucrose. They provide fermentation for breads and pickles, bulk...

But many farmers are afraid not to plant for fear they won't qualify for their crop insurance. They must plant, even if they think the crop will fail, if they want full insurance coverage. Some farmers worry their insurance may leave them as dry as the drought. It's a compromise between farmers and insurance carriers for seasons doomed from the start. Some farmers, like Del Beasley, won't plant but hope to collect a smaller insurance payment on his policy's preventive planting clause. Last...

In the cooler parts of Europe, winemakers use sucrose from beet or sugar cane to bring up the alcohol levels in their products. Enriching wine with sugar costs about a third as much as using concentrated grape "musts" and this helps explain why many producers are opposed to any move to outlaw the use of sugar in the fermentation process. According to Pierre Guigui, editor of the respected wine guide GaultMillau, "no studies have proved the taste of wines made using chaptalisation, as the...

Farmers tend to spray twice or even thrice between each picking to combat the deadly borer and as a result pile up 60 odd doses of spray for just one crop! On average, farmers end up dousing around 1.4 kg of pesticides per hectare on brinjal, which is way higher than, say, 200 gm for paddy. This judgment deserves to be heralded as a step in the right direction: the common man would now have a wider choice of foods to meet his nutritional and dietary needs. The apex court had temporarily...

Booth contracts the pressed beet pulp in early October, and the local prices are based on corn prices. They gained about 2.7 pounds a day with one implant; then, we changed from quality to production and now, we're disappointed if we get less than 3.5 pounds of gain a day. Nevertheless, Booth said he believes the pressed beet pulp is a good additive to a feed program and stores fairly well when packed like corn silage. Peltz said he has seen some variation between the different distillers...
