  2. Food physical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_physical_chemistry

    Food physical chemistry is considered to be a branch of Food chemistry [1] [2] concerned with the study of both physical and chemical interactions in foods in terms of physical and chemical principles applied to food systems, as well as the applications of physical/chemical techniques and instrumentation for the study of foods.

  3. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    strong base used in organic chemistry for the deprotonation of weakly acidic compounds Manganese dioxide: used as a pigment and as a precursor to other manganese compounds; used as a reagent in organic synthesis for the oxidation of allylic alcohols Meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid: used as an oxidant in organic synthesis Methyl tert-butyl ether

  4. Staling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staling

    Staling is a chemical and physical process in bread that reduces its palatability.Staling is not simply a drying-out process caused by evaporation. [1] One important mechanism is the migration of moisture from the starch granules into the interstitial spaces, degelatinizing the starch; stale bread's leathery, hard texture results from the starch amylose and amylopectin molecules realigning and ...

  5. Food chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_chemistry

    The scientific approach to food and nutrition arose with attention to agricultural chemistry in the works of J. G. Wallerius, Humphry Davy, and others.For example, Davy published Elements of Agricultural Chemistry, in a Course of Lectures for the Board of Agriculture (1813) in the United Kingdom which would serve as a foundation for the profession worldwide, going into a fifth edition.

  6. Biodegradable waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradable_waste

    Food waste collected from non-industrial sources is harder to use, because it often has much greater diversity than other sources of waste—different locations and different windows of time produce very different compositions of material, making it hard to use for industrial processes.

  7. Photocatalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photocatalysis

    Use of CuO nanosheets to breakdown azo bonds in food dyes is one such example, with 96.99% degradation after only 6 minutes. [56] Degradation of organic matter is a highly applicable property, particularly in waste processing.

  8. Anaerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    The organic waste like fallen leaves, kitchen waste, food waste etc. are fed into a crusher unit, where it is mixed with a small amount of water. The mixture is then fed into the bio-digester, where the archaea decomposes it to produce cooking gas. This gas is piped to kitchen stove.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...
