again, excessive sugar intake can lead to health conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and even cause cancer. On the other hand, increased fructose consumption creates an illusion in the body that makes it crave for foods with higher calories and causes it to store more fats as well. Unhealthy levels of fructose in the body place an unprecedented stress on the liver. As a result, this promotes weight gain and can lead to health issues such as back pain and other obesity-related
the third highest value enzyme after amylase and protease. It catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-glucose to D-fructose. Isomerization of glucose to fructose is of commercial importance in the production of High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS). Glucose has 70-75% the sweetening strength of beet sugar (sucrose), but fructose is twice as sweet as sucrose, so high fructose syrup can be used to replace sucrose as a sweetener. As enzyme itself is very expensive, immobilization of this enzyme on a suitable
component was sucrose, followed by glucose and fructose. The same trend in sugar contents has reported widely (Zhao et al., 2009; Guigou et al., 2011; Fernandes et al., 2014). Between two varieties, higher sucrose and glucose content obtained from KFS2 and KFS3, respectively. Lingle et al. (2012) described that sweet sorghum varieties with higher sucrose could use as a table sugar, in contrast, more glucose content desirable for syrup production. The High content of sucrose may cause crystallization
seltzer, mineral, lolly water or carbonated beverage) is a beverage that typically contains carbonated water, a sweetener and a flavoring. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar substitutes (in the case of diet drinks) or some combination of these. Soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives and other ingredients. Soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast to "hard drinks" (alcoholic beverages). Small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft
Many researches have assured that sugary drinks like Pepsi and coke are bad for health for what they contain from artificial caramel coloring. The center for science in the public interest (CSPI) tried through the FDA to prohibit the use of 4-methylimidazole (4-Mel) formed as a byproduct of caramel coloring. However, the FDA said that a person should drink more than 100 glasses of soda per day to be infected by cancer. The national toxicity program proved that

The three founders ,Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker, were former students of the University of San Francisco. Their plan was to sell high quality coffee beans and roasting equipment. They did not know at the onset of Starbucks that
