Also known as "benzoate of soda‚" sodium benzoate is an FDA-approved‚ polyunsaturated fat that has been used by food manufacturers for over 80 years to inhibit microbial growth. As a food additive it is used as a preservative‚ effectively killing most yeasts‚ bacteria and fungi. Sodium benzoate is effective only in acidic conditions (pH < 3.6) making its use most prevalent in foods such as preserves‚ salad dressings (vinegar)‚ carbonated drinks (carbonic acid)‚ jams (citric acid)‚ fruit juices (citric

not. Not many fruits and vegetables contain preservatives simply because they come from nature. One of the items contained Sodium Benzoate‚ a small percentage of people are extremely sensitive to sodium benzoate and can experience asthmatic attacks and other allergic reactions when they take in the preservative. A more normal problem is the combination of sodium benzoate and citric acid and ascorbic acid. When these ingredients mix‚ they form benzene‚ a cancer-causing chemical linked with leukemia

We performed two procedures in which we reduced methyl acetoacetate. For the first procedure we produced a racemic mixture of Methyl (S)-3-Hydroxyacetate and Methyl (R)-3-Hydroxyacetate. For the second we produced only one of the enantiomer products depending on which enantiomer of Tartaric Acid was used. A reduction is a reaction which generally means adding more carbon-hydrogen bonds to a compound. In a reduction reaction the oxidation number of a carbon atom decreases. The opposite is an oxidation

One of the most enduring characteristics of Angostura Aromatic Bitters was its secret ingredients which continued to remain a secret for its 200 years of existence‚ the product has survived even when other bitters existing around the time of its emergence faded away‚ recreating its identity from medicine to being a beverage and food flavour enhancer (Conaway‚ 2009). Angostura Aromatic Bitters has monopolized the bitters market for many years because of its branding evolution
