that take place inside food determine its nutritional value‚ taste‚ texture and freshness. Like any other organic material‚ food can decompose over a period of time. The importance of food chemistry lies in its ability to counter the effects of decomposition and spoilage and extend the shelf life of foods. Food chemistry is a science that studies the chemical processes that take place in food. All food products are made of biological materials that react and interact in different ways‚ and under

bacteria without microsomal activation though‚ the bacteria contains nitro reductases which activate them. Many hair dye components such as‚ pphenylenediamine‚ 2‚5diaminotoluene‚ and 2‚5diaminoanisole become strongly mutagenic after oxidation by H2O2 gives a very strong mutagenic response with strain when sulfur is present‚ which is located in the hair. As mentioned before‚ it can be hard to know what the results of these studies mean‚ due to many other factors that might affect the results

L.H.S and R.H.S of an equation should me balanced. TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTION COMBINATION REACTION :-In a combination reaction two or more substances combine to form a new single substance. DECOMPOSITION REACTION :-- Decomposition reactions are opposite to combination reactions. In a decomposition reaction‚ a single substance decomposes to give two or more substances. DISPLACEMENT REACTION :- When an element displaces another element from its compound‚ a displacement reaction occurs.

Abstract: This lab tests how temperature and pH affect how enzymes will function. The lab showed that temperature will denature an enzyme when past its optimal working temperature and won’t denature in cold temperatures‚ but have slowed molecular activity. pH will also have an affect on an enzymes efficiency‚ when out of optimal pH the enzyme will not function as it is supposed to and if to far out of the optimal pH the enzyme will change shape and no longer work. Enzymes also showed to be reusable

on the soil fauna‚ chemical reactions and the transportation on substances. (Hillel‚ 2004). Climate varies depending on where the soil is in the world. The conditions of the soils control the amount of water available for vegetation‚ rates of decomposition of organic matter and faunal activity (Hillel‚ 2004). Areas that have high rainfall will have more vegetation biomass which helps with contributing to organic biomass. The water that falls to the ground is soaked up by the soil and some of it is

fairly quickly‚ although some carbon stays in the plant till it dies and is decomposed. If the plant dies‚ the carbon can stay in the soil for millions of years; this is because the carbon is formed in very complicated chemical formulas that resist decomposition. If the plant‚ eg a tree‚ is made into a by-product such as paper‚ or a table‚carbon will remain in the wood

the fish was retrieving enough nutrients and food. Recreating nature was not the easiest task. Purpose/Introduction: In this experiment we are trying to test whether or not we could keep aquatic fauna and plant fauna alive using decomposition for the main source of nutrients and food. The idea was to see if we could produce enough nutrients without creating a lot of turbidity. This research stands very important in the natural environmental world because it gives us a good understanding
