Simple Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves

Food Adulteration Officials of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have seized huge stocks of three leading brands of energy drinks‚ collectively worth around Rs 2.64 crore‚ from Mumbai and Pune. The move comes close on the heels of recent amendments to the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. Most of these drinks are sold in pubs and bars. As per the amended guidelines which came into effect from March 19‚ the caffeine content in energy drinks must not be more than 200 parts per million

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

Food irradiation: A food safety technology designed to eliminate disease-causing germs from foods. Treating food with ionizing radiation can kill bacteria and parasites that would otherwise cause foodborne disease. Similar technology is used to sterilize medical devices so they can be used in surgery or implanted without risk of infection. The effects of irradiation on the food and on animals and people eating irradiated food have been studied extensively. These studies show clearly that when irradiation

10/26/12 THE FUTURE OF FOOD You might think you know everything about the foods that you eat or place on the plates for your family‚ but you have no idea. The Future of Food is a documentary that reveals appalling or should I say shocking information regarding our crops that are grown in the U.S. today and how big corporations are taking over and altering the foods that we eat through science‚ all because of corporate greed. What’s even more terrifying is that majority of consumers have no

Briefing Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is an extremely valuable analytical technique. It provides a rapid separation of compounds‚ and gives an indication of the number and nature of the components of a mixture. TLC can also be used to identify compounds by comparison with known samples‚ to check the purity of a compound‚ or to monitor the progress of a reaction‚ an extraction‚ or a purification procedure. This experiment will introduce you to the mechanics of TLC‚ and the chemical principles
