increase in the number of hydroxyl (OH) groups in MCO after transesterification reaction [17]. Further, the results depicted in table 2 validates the above observation. Both the materials exhibited peak at 1734 cm-1 indicating the presence of the ester carbonyl group. Meanwhile, the band visualized at 1100 cm-1 in CO can be assigned to the secondary OH group. However, MCO revealed an absorption band at 1051 cm-1 which might be due to the introduction of primary OH groups (Scheme 2) after…

Introduction The ferric chloride test is used to determine the presence of phenols in a given sample or compound (for instance natural phenols in a plant extract). Enols, hydroxamic acids, oximes, and sulfinic acids give positive results as well. The ferric chloride test can be used to detect metabolites in urine in case of inborn error of metabolism such as phenylketonuria. In addition,the Ferric Chloride test can be used to detect salicylates in urine after an aspirin overdose.1 Background…

Biodiesel production is usually expressed through the process of trans-esterification reaction. Recently, homogeneous catalysts are broadly preferred for biodiesel production in eminent scale operation. Still, they are toxic, highly flammable and corrosive in nature [1]. Boey et al. analysed the purpose of the waste cockle shell from palm olein oil in biodiesel production of Anadara granosa. At 900 °C the waste shell was calcined for 2 h that mainly compiled of 71% of Ca to develop an active…

how can this be? I killed you? said Seth more scared than ever before. As the spirit of Ester approached Seth he begin to scoot back quickly, please, please, please don't kill me, I'm sorry for what I done to you, I ask for forgiveness every day I swear it!, said Seth now as if he were pleading for his life. But Seth you are already forgiven, I forgave you before I called to come to my heavenly home, said Ester now smiling at Seth. How, how are you able to smile, and be so joyous, especailly to…

Cutin,Waxes and Suberin Definition: There are lipophilic barriers in all plants that prevent the water loss and manage the movement of, solutes, and gases.Cutin waxes and suberin are these lipophilic barriers. (1) (2) Introduction: Cuticle is the protective and waterproofing covering that covers the plant organs and prevent water loss and entry of microorganism.Cuticle structural component is cutin. Suberin also act as a fence for the pressure from the environment and cutting and is formed…

TLC plate. The alcohol was determined to be the compound with the lower Rf value, therefore, indicating that the ester products were the compounds with a high Rf value. Furthermore, the conclusions that can be drawn from the data obtained, the spots in vial B indicate having a larger amount of esters in the products side than the starting material with the 1-phenylethanol, due to the esters being farther from the starting material in vial B,as well as, having a bigger and the intensity of the…

In the article Hit Charade, the author, Nathaniel Rich, explores the behind-the-scenes business of pop music. He goes into great depths about how pop hits are made, and how “artists” are created. Rich also writes about how some of the best and most popular songs are not written by the singer, but rather by, more commonly, “...middle-aged Scandinavian men…”(Rich). I know what you’re thinking, that that seems oddly specific. In a way, you are right, but Rich supports this claim by mentioning some…

rest of her family. Her original name was Hadasseh, meaning “myrtle;” however, it was then said that she adopted the Persian name “Esther” when she entered the Persian court (Ester.) She was the daughter…

Important aspects for polymers and conjugated drugs A choice of anticancer drugs have been conjugated with polymers, including anthracycline antibiotics, antimetabolites, platinum analogues, alkylating agents, as well as peptides, proteins and enzymes (Meng, and El-Deiry, 2002). The main requirement for a candidate drug in this field is the drug minimum effective concentration. For example, if the minimum effective concentration needs to be ~10 '3 M for a drug with a molecular weight of -50 kDa,…

For this reaction catalysts are strong bases like NaOH, KOH. The reaction results in methyl esters which is known as biodiesel worldwide. Before turning into the production of biodiesel, we should know about pros and cons of biodiesel over petroleum. Advantages:  Biodiesel fuel is a renewable energy source unlike petroleum.  An excessive production…
