| Summary: | Enzymatic technique was an alternative method applied in the sugar analysis of dairy-based
beverages locally available in Malaysia. The technique was simple, using non-toxic chemicals,
react rapidly, highly specific, and also sensitive to low concentration. The technique used to
analyze several types of common sugars such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
The measurement of the sugar concentration has been observed using the UV-Vis
Spectrophotometry (Varian Cary 100) at 340nm wavelength. Based on the analysis which has
been conducted, the dairy-based beverages majorly contained the sucrose and lactose sugar about
50% and 42% from the overall sugar. However, the amount of the total sugar does not in high
level, therefore an individual can take other food or drinks to consume and control their sugar
intake daily in order to prevent from exceeding the amount recommended by WHO. |
