  2. Rancidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancidification

    Rancidification is the process of complete or incomplete autoxidation or hydrolysis of fats and oils when exposed to air, light, moisture, or bacterial action, producing short-chain aldehydes, ketones and free fatty acids. [1] When these processes occur in food, undesirable odors and flavors can result. In processed meats, these flavors are ...

  3. Epoxidized soybean oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxidized_soybean_oil

    The epoxide group is more reactive than double bond, thus providing a more energetically favorable site for reaction and making the oil a good hydrochloric acid scavenger and plasticizer. Usually a peroxide or a peracid is used to add an atom of oxygen and convert the -C=C- bond to an epoxide group. [3]

  4. 1-Dodecene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Dodecene

    1-Dodecene is an alkene with the formula C 10 H 21 CH=CH 2, consisting of a chain of twelve carbon atoms ending with a double bond. While there are many isomers of dodecene depending on which carbon the double bond is placed, this isomer is of greater commercial importance. It is classified as an alpha-olefin. Alpha-olefins are distinguished by ...

  5. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

    An alpha-olefin (or α-olefin) is an alkene where the carbon-carbon double bond starts at the α-carbon atom, i.e. the double bond is between the #1 and #2 carbons in the molecule. Alpha-olefins such as 1-hexene may be used as co-monomers to give an alkyl branched polymer (see chemical structure below), although 1-decene is most commonly used ...

  6. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    The π-bond in the ethylene molecule is responsible for its useful reactivity. The double bond is a region of high electron density, thus it is susceptible to attack by electrophiles. Many reactions of ethylene are catalyzed by transition metals, which bind transiently to the ethylene using both the π and π* orbitals. [citation needed]

  7. Hydrogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenation

    The molecule leaves the surface. Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H 2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds.

  9. Azobenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azobenzene

    Infobox references. Azobenzene is a photoswitchable chemical compound composed of two phenyl rings linked by a N=N double bond. It is the simplest example of an aryl azo compound. The term 'azobenzene' or simply 'azo' is often used to refer to a wide class of similar compounds.
