Permanganic acid (or manganic(VII) acid) is the inorganic compound with the formula H MnO 4 and various hydrates. [3] This strong oxoacid has been isolated as its dihydrate. It is the conjugate acid of permanganate salts. It is the subject of few publications and its characterization as well as its uses are very limited.
A permanganate can oxidize an amine to a nitro compound, [7] [8] a secondary alcohol to a ketone, [9] a primary alcohol or aldehyde to a carboxylic acid, [10] [11] a terminal alkene to a carboxylic acid, [12] oxalic acid to carbon dioxide, [13] and an alkene to a diol. [14] This list is not exhaustive. In alkene oxidations one intermediate is a ...
The purplish-black color of solid potassium permanganate, and the intensely pink to purple color of its solutions, is caused by its permanganate anion, which gets its color from a strong charge-transfer absorption band caused by excitation of electrons from oxo ligand orbitals to empty orbitals of the manganese(VII) center.
Potentially Hazardous Food is a term used by food safety organizations to classify foods that require time-temperature control to keep them safe for human consumption. A PHF is a food that: A PHF is a food that:
Food safety (or food hygiene) is used as a scientific method/discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness.The occurrence of two or more cases of a similar illness resulting from the ingestion of a common food is known as a food-borne disease outbreak.

For substances used in food prior to January 1, 1958, a grandfather clause allows experience based on common use in food to be used in asserting an ingredient is safe under the conditions of their intended use. [3] The FDA can also explicitly withdraw the GRAS classification, as it did for trans fat in 2015. [6]
Additives are used for many purposes but the main uses are: Acids Food acids are added to make flavors "sharper", and also act as preservatives and antioxidants. Common food acids include vinegar, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, folic acid, fumaric acid, and lactic acid.
The reaction initially produces permanganic acid, HMnO 4 (structurally, HOMnO 3), which is dehydrated by cold sulfuric acid to form its anhydride, Mn 2 O 7: 2 KMnO 4 + 2 H 2 SO 4 → Mn 2 O 7 + H 2 O + 2 KHSO 4. Mn 2 O 7 can react further with sulfuric acid to give the remarkable manganyl(VII) cation MnO + 3, which is isoelectronic with CrO 3:
