In the vast universe of food science, there is a magical substance that has become an indispensable "sweet guardian" in the modern food industry with its extraordinary sweetness, excellent stability, and a wide range of applications -- Acesulfame Potassium, Chinese name potassium acetylsulfanilate,...
The energy content or heating value of biomass feedstock can be estimated from several correlations on the basis of the proximate and ultimate analysis (Table 1.2). Table 1.2. Correlations for estimating the higher heating value (HHV) of biomass. CorrelationReference HHV=43.7C+167.0 Tillman (...
This interactive lesson may answer some of the following questions: What chemical elements does Water consist of? What are the chemical elements of the Sugar? Wat is the chemical formula of the Salt? What elements the Baking Soda is compound? What are the chemical elements inside the Bleach?
this means there’s an excess of sugar dissolved in a small amount of water. One substance which bees use to achieve this bit of clever chemistry is theenzyme,invertase, which they produce in theirsalivary glands. Nectar containssucrose(“table sugar”) and, after the bees collect nectar, in...
the process is often called ‘sulfate pulping.’ Sulfate is not the active pulping chemical, however, becauseorganic carbonreduces it to sodium sulfide when the black liquor is burned. The kraft process produces high yields of strong fibers, hence the name ‘kraft,’ meaning strong in German. ...
Copper has long been used by humans for a variety of reasons. The name copper derives from the Latin for the metal, cuprum, which is named for the Roman source, the island of Cyprus. Copper has been used in a variety of alloys; of particular importance among copper alloys is bronze, wh...

For chemical communication, mate choice using signals that provide or indicate benefits to the choosing sex has been of particular interest85; however, other mechanisms (Table1) of sexual selection are also important and may be more relevant for some animal groups. For example, large and ...
There are several reports focused on the effect of anthocyanins in cancer treatments (Lule and Xia, 2005, Nichenametla et al., 2006), human nutrition (Stintzing & Carle, 2004), and its biological activity (Kong, Chia, Goh, Chia, & Brouillard, 2003). Therefore, due to the enormous ...
Intermediate building blocks for different chemicals are numerous in this route. They include hydrogen, methanol, glycerol (C3), fumaric acid (C4), xylitol (C5), glucaric acid (C6), and gallic acid (Ar), to name a few (Werpy and Petersen, 2004). These intermediates are synthesized to ...
