  2. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    Because the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F), a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is vaporized in an enclosed space. In an incident on January 12, 2006 at Texas A&M University , the pressure-relief devices of a tank of liquid nitrogen were malfunctioning and later sealed.

  3. Denitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrification

    The lighter isotope of nitrogen, 14 N, is preferred during denitrification, leaving the heavier nitrogen isotope, 15 N, in the residual matter. This selectivity leads to the enrichment of 14 N in the biomass compared to 15 N. [ 27 ] Moreover, the relative abundance of 14 N can be analyzed to distinguish denitrification apart from other ...

  4. Smoked meat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoked_meat

    Smoked meat is the result of a method of preparing red meat, white meat, and seafood which originated in the Paleolithic Era. [1] Smoking adds flavor , improves the appearance of meat through the Maillard reaction , and when combined with curing it preserves the meat. [ 2 ]

  5. Nitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrification

    Nitrogen cycle. Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via the intermediary nitrite. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil. The process of complete nitrification may occur through separate organisms [1] or entirely within one organism, as in comammox bacteria. The transformation of ammonia to ...

  6. Denitrifying bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrifying_bacteria

    The most common denitrification process is outlined below, with the nitrogen oxides being converted back to gaseous nitrogen: 2 NO 3 − + 10 e − + 12 H + → N 2 + 6 H 2 O. The result is one molecule of nitrogen and six molecules of water. Denitrifying bacteria are a part of the N cycle, and consists of sending the N back into the atmosphere.

  7. Smoking (cooking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_(cooking)

    Smoking is the process of flavoring, browning, cooking, or preserving food, particularly meat, fish and tea, by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood. In Europe , alder is the traditional smoking wood, but oak is more often used now, and beech to a lesser extent.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoked_hamburger

    A smoked hamburger is a hamburger patty that has been cooked by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood. It is common in Texas. [1] [2]Smoking a burger can require 30 minutes to two hours' time over low heat, such as 225 °F (107 °C).

  9. Liquid smoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_smoke

    A bottle of hickory liquid smoke sauce. Liquid smoke is a water-soluble yellow to red liquid [1] used as a flavoring as a substitute for cooking with wood smoke while retaining a similar flavor. It can be used to flavor any meat or vegetable. It is available as pure condensed smoke from various types of wood, and as derivative formulas ...
