Sugar Processing Research
Institute, Inc.
CARBODAZE
NEW ORLEANS CARBOHYDRATE
SYMPOSIUM
This stimulating information exchange on all aspects of
carbohydrate chemistry is sponsored by the Sugar Processing Research Institute,
Incorporated, in New Orleans.
Participants are able to present recent research and insights to share with
fellow carbohydrate chemists in a Gordon Conference atmosphere. Sugar Processing Research Institute, Inc.,
(SPRI) held annually the New Orleans Carbohydrate Symposium – NOCS, from
1985 with it’s first meeting of its kind in New Orleans, Louisiana, in
conjunction with the ACS National Meeting: Carbohydrate Division. Carbohydrate
chemists attending that meeting are invited to come to New Orleans on their route home from the
meeting. Papers will be given on a range of topics from glycobiology,
synthetic organic methods, fiber chemistry advances, industrial processing, and
pharmaceutical chemistry of carbohydrates. The New Orleans Carbohydrate
Symposium was founded by the late Dr. Margaret Clarke, then Managing Director
of the Sugar Processing Research Institute. Her spirit of innovation in
carbohydrate chemistry is preserved in this continuation of her vision.
The New Orleans Carbohydrate Symposium is an ideal venue for
meaningful discussions with colleagues in a variety of areas of carbohydrate
science. The atmosphere of New Orleans
in the springtime is always refreshing. The hosts at the Sugar Processing
Research Institute, Inc. have a long experience in welcoming scientists to this
city. They would guarantee a long lasting memory of a good scientific
impression as well as pleasant amenities for which the city of New Orleans is famous.

The Maison Dupuy
The Maison
Dupuy is a luxury New Orleans French Quarter Hotel
situated at an ideal location in the French Quarter. The Maison Dupuy is located in the heart of a charming, residential
neighborhood. Picturesque townhouses framed with wrought iron fences line
narrow streets. Gas lamps cast a path through moonlight causing the visitor to
hesitate, wondering if he’s in modern America or been transplanted
somehow to an earlier century. There are hidden treasures within the graceful
buildings. The central point of many of these dwellings is, in fact, outdoors.
Beautiful courtyards containing lush, tropical gardens are a characteristic of
French Quarter architecture. The look is exotic and unique. Modern day French
Quarter style is a product of three centuries’ evolution and reflects an intermix of the many cultural influences.
The present day Maison Dupuy
Hotel may typify French Quarter eclectic grandeur, but through the years the
site represented function more than form. It was originally the location of the
nation’s first cotton press. Later utilized for industry, the
intersection of Rue Toulouse and Burgundy
Street housed various sheet metal companies. It
wasn’t until the 1970s that the location was developed for the purpose of
a hotel. The historical preservation board in the French Quarter is notoriously
strict, rarely allowing new properties to be built within the confines of the
landmark neighborhood. After years of submitting plans, two brothers Dupuy were successful in earning the necessary approval;
and in 1973 the Maison Dupuy
opened its doors. The Maison Dupuy
is the last hotel to have been built in the historic French Quarter, as the Vieux Carre Commission banned the
future development of hotels in that neighborhood in 1975.
The hotel was created by joining five neighboring townhouses. The buildings
reflect an ornate style with French doors, long windows and wrought iron
balconies draping many of the five floors. The interior of these adjoined brick
edifices marks the perimeter of the French Quarter’s largest and most
scenic courtyard. The centerpiece of the property, the courtyard exemplifies
the romantic charm of the neighborhood. A bubbling, three-tiered, marble
fountain is a focal point. Guests can enjoy the large swimming pool and outdoor
dining day and night when the weather permits. Lush, tropical foliage shades
the courtyard and creates a sense of privacy and intimacy in what is actually a
large space. The mood is magical in the courtyard at the Maison
Dupuy. It is a lovely locale to enjoy a lingering
meal, celebrate a special occasion or just relax and appreciate what is unique New Orleans charm.
We hope you will enjoy your stay at this luxury New Orleans French Quarter
Hotel. The hotel has kindly extended our
room block at the $99 per room night over the weekend and into the following
week; should anyone be interested in remaining in the city.

Dauphine Orleans Hotel
415 Dauphine Street
New Orleans, LA 70116
Records of the Dauphine
Orleans’ site date from 1775, and several of the original structures have
survived the test of time. The most notable
jewel of the Dauphine Orleans is the Audubon Cottage where, from 1821- 1822,
John James Audubon painted his famous “Birds of America” series.
The restored cottage now serves as the hotel’s main meeting room.
The property’s initial
owners were among the first families of the city’s Spanish and French
settlements. Ownership of the site
changed 21 times until 1966, when it was purchased to house the Dauphine
Orleans Hotel, which opened in 1969.
The cottages all have
beautiful stone fireplaces and original Pecky cypress
and pine beams. The original brick walls
and wooden posts decor the rooms after a renovation project in 1991. Fourteen spacious Patio Rooms, some of them
suites, located across Dauphine
St. from the hotel’s main building, were
originally built in 1834 to serve as the town home of a prosperous merchant,
Samuel Hermann.
May Baily’s Place, once one of the better known bordellos
in the wildly infamous red-light district known as Storyville,
now serves as the hotel bar.
The red light, the
memorabilia and the Baily name are all that remain of
an era that made even decant Old New Orleans blush.

USDA-ARS-SRRC
The Southern Regional
Research Center is one of four regional facilities created by the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, otherwise known as the Farm Bill. It is located in the beautiful state of Louisiana just minutes form Lake
Pontchartrain. The Center
also has a field location in Houma,
Louisiana dedicated to sugarcane
research. The Center continues to be one
of the leading agricultural contributors to the American consumer and the
agricultural research industry abroad.
Some developments that have
resulted form the Center’s research include durable press cotton, flame
retardant cotton fabrics, frozen orange juice concentrate, partially defatted
peanuts, and improved varieties of sugarcane.
SPRI
The history of the Sugar
Processing Research Institute, Inc. began 60 years ago with formation of the
Bone Char Research Project at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, D.C.,
under the direction of Dr. Victor Dietz.
In 1963, it became the Cane Sugar Refining Research Project and moved to
New Orleans, Louisiana, with Dr. Frank Carpenter as its
director. In 1981, its scope was greatly
expanded under Dr. Margaret Clarke when it became Sugar Processing Research,
Inc. then being renamed the Sugar Processing Research, Institute, Inc., in
1991.
Sugar Processing Research Institute, Inc., is
housed in the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research
Service, Southern Regional Research Center building at the end of the former
New Orleans City Park grounds with its majestic collection of one of the
largest variety of Oak trees in the nation and just a few miles from Lake
Pontchartrain.
