  2. Phenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol

    Phenol is a measurable component in the aroma and taste of the distinctive Islay scotch whisky, [58] generally ~30 ppm, but it can be over 160 ppm in the malted barley used to produce whisky. [59] This amount is different from and presumably higher than the amount in the distillate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound.

  4. Phenol coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_coefficient

    To calculate phenol coefficient, the concentration of phenol at which the compound kills the test organism in 10 minutes, but not in 5 minutes, is divided by the concentration of the test compound that kills the organism under the same conditions (or, probably more common, dividing the dilution factor at which the tested substance shows ...

  5. Phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenols

    The simplest is phenol, C 6 H 5 OH. Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the molecule. Phenol – the simplest of the phenols Chemical structure of salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin. Phenols are both synthesized industrially and produced by plants and ...

  7. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  8. Polyphenol oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol_oxidase

    The enzyme works by catalyzing the o-hydroxylation of monophenol molecules in which the benzene ring contains a single hydroxyl substituent to o-diphenols (phenol molecules containing two hydroxyl substituents at the 1, 2 positions, with no carbon between). [3] It can also further catalyse the oxidation of o-diphenols to produce o-quinones. [4]

  9. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
