Maltose, also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(1→4) bond. In the isomer isomaltose, the two glucose molecules are joined with an α(1→6) bond. Maltose is the two-unit member of the amylose homologous series, the key structural motif of starch. When beta-amylase breaks down starch, it removes two glucose units at a time, producing maltose. An example of this reaction is found in germinating seeds, which is why it was named after malt. Unlike sucrose, it is a reducing sugar.

Pasteurization or pasteurisation is a process in which packaged and non-packaged foods (such as milk and fruit juice) are treated with mild heat (Today, pasteurization is used widely in the dairy industry and other food processing industries to achieve food preservation and food safety. This process was named after the French scientist Louis Pasteur, whose research in the 1880s demonstrated that thermal processing would inactivate unwanted microorganisms in wine. Spoilage enzymes are also inactivated during pasteurization. Most liquid products are heat treated in a continuous system where heat can be applied using plate heat exchanger and/or direct or indirect use of steam and hot water. Due to the mild heat there are minor changes to the nutritional quality of foods as well as the sensory characteristics.

A vitamin is an organic molecule (or related set of molecules) which is an essential micronutrient - that is, a substance which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism - but cannot synthesize it (either at all, or in sufficient quantities), and therefore it must be obtained through the diet.

Today's cartoon has a few fun background gags and TWELVE! Secret Symbols so don't miss that particular avenue of amusement.
Back in the mid-80s, a friend of mine was at my house one afternoon when he pulled from his jacket pocket a lump of black plastic roughly the size and weight of a brick and began speaking to it as though it were a person. It was one of the first cell phones, which were not yet available to the public and which I'd not even heard had been invented. It sounds ridiculous now, but at the time I was aghast and could not believe he was making a phone call without wires. I've never been one to adopt new technology quickly, so it was still a decade or more before I snipped the strings and threw away the cups I'd been using before that.
As amazing as it is that we can now carry a plastic tile in our pocket that provides access to everything in the world almost instantaneously, I do lament the days when you could actually have a phone conversation with someone and they sounded like they were in the same room. The sound quality of modern cell phones is abysmal by comparison; roughly equivalent to what landlines sounded like in the 1950s.
Look up anteaters on Google image and tell me they don't look like somebody's just been screwing around in Photoshop. One of my childhood heroes, Salvador Dalí, once walked the streets of Paris with an anteater on a leash. I've no idea if anteaters make good pets (most exotic animals do not, which is why they are not as popular as the species that are commonly kept as pets) but if they did, I might have one. Keeping giant bags of ants around for it to eat might be a challenge, though.
One could argue that single-issue voters can be dangerous to the welfare of a country. Anti-abortion voters are partly responsible for the wreck of a human being currently torching the U.S. and the free world, for instance. If, however, there were an Anti-Orange Party, I might sign on.
People occasionally ask me if cartoonists have groupies. We do, but they are mostly nerdy men and teenage boys. I only mention that in case any of you are thinking that being a cartoonist is anything like being a rockstar.
I understand this guy's perspective but I've seen tons of folks in coffee shops that I definitely prefer would not speak to me. And they don't, probably because I am that same person to them.
This cartoon makes me wonder if somewhere there's a meat-eater pretending to be a vegan eating cauliflower but they're really eating brains.
In spite of what you may have thought at first glance, this is not an illustration of the Trump/Jong-un summit. Although it will likely do about as much good.
Real quick, before we're done, here's a watercolor painting I finished this week. I'm not entirely sure what I think of it yet. It's part of my surreal luchador series, which I've been posting on my non-cartoon-art Instagram site. I show a lot of my work in progress, in case any of you artsy types might enjoy seeing the steps between sketch and finish. I hope you'll consider following me.
That's the rundown for this week, Jazz Pickles. Please have a glance at some of our links below that help to keep the campfires burning at Rancho Bizarro. And don't forget to pop over and see what Wayno had to say about this week's offerings!

Mead, Williame, Langi, Casty, Moa, Anderson, Garcia, Bird, Bousquet, Simon, Duport, Baitieri, McIlorum, Tierney, Jullien, Gigot, Goudemand, Drinkwater, Edwards.
Anyone know what's happened to Albert?
Hudds still without Brough, which these days is a positive for them as Ollie Russell looks quite the player.
McGillvary, Cudjoe, Turner, Murphy, Gaskell, Ikahihifo, Leeming, Lawrence, Hinchcliffe, Ferguson, Rankin, Roberts, Smith, O'Brien, Mellor, McIntosh, S Wood, English, Russell.
Anyone going? I will be there in a professional capacity.
I shall be there and will enjoy the free ticket. Looks like Duport is starting unless they play Edwards at centre. I would have preferred Thornley .
Albert played well in the French Cup last weekend . I fear that he is not as good as some,including me, thought he would be and his replacement by Drinkwater has worked wonders.
think the last min no try was for a knock on...though have read offside too..maybe both!
Ref said Knock on . The question is whether he was right. The other question was whether he was tricked into giving the crucial penalty. When Mcilorum and Casty are both missing -as in the first 20 minutes of the second half-we lose control .Duport is still a total liability.He has the slowest reactions of any back in superleague and cannot run more than 20 metres at his excruciatingly slow full speed . What has happened to him ? 6 years ago he was very fast.If Yaha is still suspended we must send for Thornley.All in all this is a vital defeat and our remaining fixtures are too difficult for us to escape our fate .
At the game the first disallowed try was definitely offside I did notice that at the time, a Catalans player touched the ball which went forward on to the player who touched it down. The second one from Bird (knock-on) was his own fault he was pushing forward after the ref called held and lost the ball when playing it.
And Bird should be in front of the disciplinary for his antics when Huddersfield were taking their penalty. He was jumping about like a puppet on a string waving his hands and dancing side to side, the ref should have sent him off.
