Sucrose

Application Notes

It is used as a source of carbon in media and animal diet.8.5% (w/v) sucrose was used in dielectrophoretic field-flow fractionation (dFFF) that allows the rapid and convenient analysis of bulk cell suspensions.

Biochemical Physiological Actions	Sucrose is a simple carbohydrate used in density gradients and is hydrolyzed to glucose and fructose by dilute acids and by invertase, a yeast enzyme. Upon hydrolysis the optical rotation falls and is negative when the hydrolysis is complete. In a few cases, such as in riboflavin deficient diets, sucrose is preferred over corn starch due to its interactions in the gut to decrease intestinal synthesis of riboflavin, whereas corn starch has the opposite effect .
