Conclusion: Comparative analysis between flesh and pits of all varieties showed higher proportions of crude protein (zaidy), crude fat (ajwa), crude fiber (ajwa), TDF(ajwa), IDF(ajwa) and SDF (ajwa) in date pits than flesh while ajwa flesh was richest source of ash and sugar contents (glucose, fructose, maltose and galactose).
For characterization of pure isolates upto species level, biochemical tests viz., Gram staining, shape, oxidation, catalase, motility, voges-proskauer, indole production, nitrate reduction, urease, citrate utilization, growth in 5% NaCl, growth on DNase agar, MacConkey agar, blood agar, ampicillin (12.5 ul/litre) blood agar and fermentation of sugars (L-arabinose, glucose, lactose, maltose, mannose, raffinose, salicin, D-sorbitol, starch, mannitol, rhamnose and sucrose) were performed according to standards procedures (Holt, 1986).
There are 50 different names for sugar and here are just some of the more obscure; Barley malt, cane juice crystals, crystalline fructose, dextran, dextrose, diastase, ethyl maltol, evaporated cane juice, maltodextrin, maltose, mannitol and panocha.
In addition to white, brown, cane, date, beet, turbinado, and demerara sugar, terms for sugar include corn syrup, brown rice syrup, malt syrup, maple syrup, fruit juice concentrate, molasses, barley malt, cane juice and evaporated cane juice, honey, agave nectar, dextrose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
By acting at random locations along the starch chain a-amylase breaks down long- chain carbohydrates ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose from amylase or maltose glucose and limit dextrin" from amylopectin by an endoacting hydrolytic mechanism thereby making it amenable to the action of amyloglucosidase for saccharification to reducing sugar [2 3].
Paul, MN, has patented a solid detergent composition comprising a first alkalinity source consisting essentially of at least one alkali metal silicate; at least one saccharide comprising sucrose, fructose, inulin, lactulose, maltose or combinations thereof or at least one sugar alcohol comprising sorbitol; at least one polycarboxylic acid polymer; water; optionally a secondary alkalinity source comprised of sodium carbonate; and a nonionic surfactant.

Instead, they employ a GDH-FAD2 enzyme which is unaffected by common nonglucose sugars (such as maltose or galactose) and reduces the potential for other interference.
StatStrip multiwell test strips measure and eliminate glucose errors due to varying hematocrit levels, and also eliminates interference due to maltose, galactose, xylose, oxygen, acetaminophen, uric acid, and ascorbic acid.
