Ketone

condition, it may be inconvenient for those who do not realize they are in this metabolic state. Ketoacidosis can leave people with what seems like unexplainable exhaustion and weight gain. Ketone bodies can lower the pH of the body, tripping it into a dangerously acidic state. To counteract this, the kidneys filter ketone bodies through the digestive system. However, this filtration is what causes the human body to become dehydrated (Etcheverry 12). Hydration, especially for active athletes, is…

INTRODUCTION Lead is a bluish grey metal ,which is one of the useful and common metal that has been used by humans for over 6000 years1 it has high density ,ductility, poor electrical conductivity and more over which is soft and highly malleable in nature. these all properties were helping the early extraction and working with lead and makes it more popular among industrial and other mankind usages all over the world . Several millions of lead are consumed by world for the production of…

Experiment 5 Synthesis and NMR Spectroscopy of ethyl cinnamate Introduction: Wittig reactions involve the stereoselective synthesis of olefins from phosphonium ylides and aldehydes or ketones, where the carbonyl bond is converted to an alkene double bond.1 The variety of suitable reagents and the relatively mild experimental conditions facilitate their industrial applications, such as the synthesis of epoxides, esters, carotenoids and vitamin A.2,3 Specifically, the ester ethyl cinnamate is used…

1.5 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 1.5.1 Phytoconstituents of Enicostemma littorale Blume and its medicinal properties Enicostemma littorale Blume contains secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, catechins, saponins, sterols, triterpinoids, phenolic acid flavonoids and xanthones. Thse secondary metabolites exhibit various biomedical properties like anti-inflammatory [29] and anticancer [30] properties. Aqueous extract of E. littorale in alloxan induced diabetic rats was also reported to possess…

Cooking with oils can be considered as one of the most common cooking techniques around the world. Within the process of cooking, heating with high temperatures is often applied to break down large polymeric food molecules and for easier absorption of nutrients by our guts. However, heating oil repeatedly with the presence of air, for certain period of time, might cause undesired chemical changes within the chemical characteristics of the oils, for example lipid oxidation, which is responsible…

There are a number of familial health issues that run on both of my parents ' sides of my family. On my mother 's side cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and diabetes seem to be common issues. On my dad 's side cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and gout are prevalent ( records on my dad 's side of the family only go up to my grandparents due to lack of clear records) My grandfather (dad 's side)also passed away from an aneurysm, but…

Coffee or Tea Which is Better? Coffee and tea are currently the world’s most commonly used stimulants. Whereas the two are of different chemical structure and composition, they share a common chemical that is caffeine. Tea, for instance, contains caffeine and methylxanthenes such as theobromine and theophylline which are also human central nervous system stimulants. Tea is derived from a plant, Camellia sinensis, which was first grown in South East Asia and used as a beverage. It has over the…

Ice cream is defined as a sweetened frozen food which is composed of dairy products like milk, cream and infused with sugar, stabilizers, emulsifiers, flavorings, water and air. Ice cream varies all over the world this is because the mixture of the ingredients is different from one another. But a good ice cream is composed of: 12% milk fat, 14% milk solid non-fat, 15% sugar, 0.2% stabilizer, 6.2% emulsifier, 55-64% water which is still exclusive of air. Since, ice cream is a whipped product; it…

The polyurethane segments show high intersegment attraction such as hydrogen bonding and may be able to crystallize and form hard segments. In such polymers hard segments with Tg well above normal ambient temperature are separated by polyol soft segments, which in the mass are rubbery in nature. Hard and soft segments are arranged alternate along the polymer chain. Fig.7. Polyurethane chain configuration [32] 4.2.2. Polyurethane properties and advantages for product development…

The formation of benzilic acid results from the reaction of benzil with ethanol and potassium benzilate. In order to produce benzil, benzoin was reacted with nitric acid. A crude product of benzil was produced from the reaction of benzoin and nitric acid. Through the process of multi-step synthesis, benzil was produced through the oxidation of an alpha-hydroxyketone to an alpha-diketone using nitric acid. Prior to the reaction of nitric acid and benzoin, nitric acid was protonated to form an…
