  2. Phenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol

    Phenol is a measurable component in the aroma and taste of the distinctive Islay scotch whisky, [58] generally ~30 ppm, but it can be over 160 ppm in the malted barley used to produce whisky. [59] This amount is different from and presumably higher than the amount in the distillate.

  3. Cooking weights and measures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures

    The system can be traced back to the measuring systems of the Hindus [18]: B-9 and the ancient Egyptians, who subdivided the hekat (about 4.8 litres) into parts of 1 ⁄ 2, 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 8, 1 ⁄ 16, 1 ⁄ 32, and 1 ⁄ 64 (1 ro, or mouthful, or about 14.5 ml), [19] and the hin similarly down to 1 ⁄ 32 (1 ro) using hieratic notation, [20] as ...

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound.

  5. Culinary arts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culinary_arts

    Culinary arts are the cuisine arts of food preparation, cooking, and presentation of food, usually in the form of meals. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] People working in this field – especially in establishments such as restaurants – are commonly called chefs or cooks , although, at its most general, the terms culinary artist and culinarian are also used.

  6. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  7. Phenol coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_coefficient

    To calculate phenol coefficient, the concentration of phenol at which the compound kills the test organism in 10 minutes, but not in 5 minutes, is divided by the concentration of the test compound that kills the organism under the same conditions (or, probably more common, dividing the dilution factor at which the tested substance shows ...

  8. Parts-per notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts-per_notation

    At 10 000 ppm the solution is a deep red colour. As the concentration decreases the colour becomes orange, then a vibrant yellow, with the final 1 ppm sample a very pale yellow. In science and engineering , the parts-per notation is a set of pseudo-units to describe small values of miscellaneous dimensionless quantities , e.g. mole fraction or ...

  9. Scoville scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale

    The standard used to calibrate the calculation is 1 gram of capsaicin. Scoville heat units are found by multiplying the ppmH value by a factor of 15. [5] [a] By this definition of ppmH, spicy compounds other than the two most important capsaicinoids are ignored, despite the ability of HPLC to measure these other compounds at the same time. [5]
