As you have learned, the process of mechanical digestion is relatively simple. It involves the physical breakdown of food but does not alter its chemical makeup. Chemical digestion, on the other hand, is a complex process that reduces food into its chemical building blocks, which are then abso...
A chemical manufacturing process in which chemical transformation takes place, that is, the product differs chemically from the starting materials. Most chemical manufacturing processes consist of a sequence of steps, each of which involves making some sort of change in either chemical makeup, concentr...
The chemical makeup of the extracts—complex combinations of phenolic compounds—can be linked to this intriguing biological function. There is a predominance of phenolic acids among these compounds, particularly those found in P. lentiscus decocted by HPLC/UV-ESI-MS, such as 3,5-Di-O-galloyl...
