Good Start Packaging makes straws, utensils and to-go containers for restaurants and federal facilities. Their straws are made from canola oil and can biodegrade on land and in the ocean.
1‑Methylcyclopropene is used as a synthetic plant growth regulator. [2] Developing fruits produce compounds like alkaloids and tannins. These compounds are antifeedants, meaning that they discourage animals who would eat them while they are still ripening. This mechanism is used to make sure that fruit is not eaten before the seeds are fully ...
Being a strained and unsaturated molecule methylenecyclopropane undergoes many reactions, especially in the presence of metal catalysts. [3] For example, methylenecyclopropanes can be converted to cyclobutenes in the presence of a platinum catalyst. [4]
