This swf file is about glucose reaction when take into water. This animation using flash media. Both the glucose and water have similar degrees of change in the translational diffusion constants, reflecting the effect of hydrogen bonding on dynamics. Interaction with glucose thus disrupts the organization of the water molecules, as the retarding effect is observed for glucose to water ratio as low as 1:55.

These results hint at the role that sugar may play in cryopreservation: in dry environments the binding of waters by sugar may prevent local dessication, while in cold environments the sugar disruption of the water network may prevent local destruction by favoring glass rather than ice formation.
