Found in everything from water and food to medications, nitrosamines are organic compounds with a unique chemical structure. Click to read more...
Such compounds, termed endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), may occur naturally, but the majority are artificial compounds that have been released into the environment without prior knowledge of their impact on human health. The chapter begins with some historical background, especially related to ...
Here are some examples of what we’ve learned about the origin of wine. Wine in 6,000 BC Organic compounds found in ancient Georgian pottery link winemaking to an area in the Southern Caucasus. The pottery vessels, called Kvevri (or Qvevri), can still be found in modern winemaking in Geor...
What is a VOC anyway? Understanding VOCs, where they are found and how to avoid them.The article offers information on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are carbon-based chemical compounds that evaporate at room temperature. VOCs are usually included in building products, such as paint, ...
Ketones are organic compounds that are mainly produced by mitochondria of hepatocytes, but also, to some extent, in the heart, gut, kidneys and brain [21], [22]. The three main ketone bodies are acetoacetate (AcAc), β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetone. As an energy substrate, only AcAc...
metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) [25,26,27]. On the other hand, certain membrane fabrication processes, like the preparation of vertically aligned CNT (VA-CNT) membranes, which involve chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and complicated fabrication procedures [28], are difficult to scale up for ...

They suggest that rare species are likely to be functionally dissimilar from abundant ones and therefore are likely to offer complementary, or unique, metabolic pathways to support community function. This high functional diversity of rare species can also be found in macroorganisms, for example, ...
Phloem is a type of vascular plant tissue responsible for the transportation of soluble organic compounds. This phloem acts lie a channel that allows for sugars and other photosynthates to travel between the leaves and other parts of a plant. Phloem is formed of specialized sieve tubes that ...
