  2. Sorbitan monopalmitate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbitan_monopalmitate

    SMP is a polysorbate that is derived from the mixture of partial esters of sorbitol treated with palmitic acid. SMP is a lipophilic surfactant. It may be found in combination with polysorbates. It is used to modify crystallisation of fats. [3] It is insoluble in water. [6] Up to 25 mg/kg bodyweight can be processed by humans.

  3. Palmitic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid

    Palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature) is a fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain. It is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Its chemical formula is CH 3 (CH 2 ) 14 COOH , and its C:D ratio (the total number of carbon atoms to the number of carbon-carbon double bonds) is 16:0.

  4. Monoisotopic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoisotopic_mass

    The monoisotopic mass is very useful when analyzing small organic compounds since compounds with similar weights will not be differentiated if the nominal mass is used. For example, when comparing tyrosine which has a molecular structure of C 9 H 11 NO 3 with a monoisotopic mass of 182.081 Da and methionine sulphone C 5 H 11 NO 4 S which ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_quality_indicators

    Wastewater quality indicators are laboratory test methodologies to assess suitability of wastewater for disposal, treatment or reuse. The main parameters in sewage that are measured to assess the sewage strength or quality as well as treatment options include: solids, indicators of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, indicators of fecal ...

  6. Basal metabolic rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate

    The chemical equation for metabolism of the twelve to sixteen carbon atoms in a saturated fatty acid molecule shows the difference between metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids. Palmitic acid is a commonly studied example of the saturated fatty acid molecule. The overall equation for the substrate utilization of palmitic acid is

  8. Mass (mass spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(mass_spectrometry)

    The monoisotopic mass is the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule using the unbound, ground-state, rest mass of the principal (most abundant) isotope for each element. [12] [5] The monoisotopic mass of a molecule or ion is the exact mass obtained using the principal isotopes. Monoisotopic mass is typically expressed in daltons.

  9. Palmitoyl-CoA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitoyl-CoA

    Palmitoyl-CoA is an acyl-CoA thioester. It is an "activated" form of palmitic acid and can be transported into the mitochondrial matrix by the carnitine shuttle system (which transports fatty acyl-CoA molecules into the mitochondria), and once inside can participate in beta-oxidation.
