Hydrogenation

Based on my intake spreadsheet, it seems to show that I consumed 130.65g of sugar in my diet that is naturally occurring. I feel like my added sugar intake seems to be high because I know to myself that I tend to choose sweet things over any food. I tend to choose and eat a lot of sweet things just because I want to even though I know that it’s bad for my health. I think I can reduced this by cutting down on my sweet portion. Also, I need to compare which is less sugar and much healthier. For…

substituted for olive oil with the same heart health benefits. Palm oil is also solid at cooler temperatures, which confers a benefit in the form of not needing to be hydrogenated to make it solid. This avoids the formation of trans fats during the hydrogenation process. Palm oil has a smoke point of 235% and thus it can be deemed suitable for even deep frying, as it fails to volatilize quickly. This prevents the formation of many toxic products such as…

Computer Diet Analysis #1 During my three-day diet analysis, I consumed approximately 180.19 grams of naturally occurring sugar and 31.77 grams of added sugar. I was shocked to find out that my added sugar intake was so low without much effort. If I could change one thing, it would be my natural sugar intake which is pretty high for a three-day period. Although the sugar from fruits are natural, as a diabetic, I still feel as though too much can cause harm to my body. I need to work on…

is continuously directed to the vent of Cyclohexene Cooler. After separation the water layer is drained off to waste water vessel and the organic layer is pumped by reflux pump to the top of Cyclohexene column and rest as distillate to benzene hydrogenation section. Cyclohexene evaporator is fed with 20 bar steam. The bottom product from cyclohexene column is pumped by cyclohexanone pump as feed to Alcohols column. The Project Report On Cyclohexanone Alcohols and cyclohexanone distillation…

What is Processed Food? When you think of processed foods most people just think chips, pop, cookies etc. but it is any food that has been modified before we consume it. From foods that are fermented, frozen, heated to dried to foods. Some examples include: • Fresh cut fruit/vegetables that have been packaged • Canned foods • Breakfast cereals, oatmeal’s, crackers • Convenience foods such as microwaveable meals/ready meals There are three main categories to be considered for processed food.…

Trans fat is a byproduct of a process called hydrogenation. The process happens when healthy oils are converted into solids and they prevent the food from becoming rancid. The way this works is that when vegetable oil is heated in the presence of hydrogen and a heavy-metal catalyst such as palladium, hydrogen…

Plastic has been becoming more and more important since 1900’s and nowadays we cannot survive without it. In general, the major features of plastic are durability, light weight and low cost but these good properties also generate great problems to our environment. Current levels of use and disposal generate several environmental problems. Around 4% of crude oil is used as raw material for plastics and 3 to 4% extra are consumed to provide energy for manufacturing process. The major usage is…

Experiment 1: Alkanes & alkenes: Combustion and action of sulphuric acid. Objective: To make careful observations and compare the difference(s) between alkanes and alkenes. Introduction: Hydrocarbons are composed exclusively of oxygen and hydrogen. There are three types of homogeneous hydrocarbons (whose members differ by one CH2 unit): alkanes, alkenes and alkynes. The difference between these three groups is in the bond types between the carbons. Alkanes form only single bonds, alkenes…

1.2.1 Refinery Processes It is impertinent to overlook at the refinery chemistry before describing the refinery processes. The chemistry is part of the refinery’s conversion section, which gets affected when the upgrading is considered. The conversion section purpose is to enhance the liquid fuels. There are two types of techniques under the section: a. Hydrogen addition technologies: Processes using this technology react hydrogen with the oil heavy products to enhance the H/C such that the…
