Conjugated linoleic acid‚ is a form of linoleic acid‚ an omega-6 fatty acid important to human health (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). The CLA is formed by the bacteria in rumen of certain ruminants but not for humans. It is obtained by humans from dietary sources such as beef‚ lamb and dairy products including milk and cheese (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). CLA is an antioxidant‚ anti-carcinogenic‚ anti-diabetogenic‚ anti-atherosclerotic‚ anti-catabolite as well as an immune system enhancer (Belury‚ 2002). Health

Experiment 2: Centrifugation Title Centrifugation of fresh milk and Acetic Acid Objective(s): 1. To separate coagulated milk from mixture of fresh milk and Acetic Acid by centrifugation 2. To determine the relationship of speed of centrifugation with the coagulation of milk which separate from mixture. 3. To study the process of centrifugation Introduction Centrifugation is a process which materials suspended in a liquid medium undergo separation or concentrate due to the effect of gravity

To detect an acid‚ the scientists use indicators. Litmus is one indicator. An acid turns blue‚ litmus red. Acids are a group of chemicals with very similar properties. An acid is a sour-tasting substance. Lemons taste sour because they contain citric acid. The sour milk contains lactic acid while the sour taste of vinegar is due to acetic acid. Acetic acid‚ which is an ingredient of vinegar‚ releases only a limited number of ions and is not a strong acid. All these are weak acids. This is the reason

Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive

Acid-base titration Aim To study the titration curve of a strong base-strong acid‚ strong base-weak acid and weak acid-strong base titrations Introduction Acid-base titrations are based on the neutralization reaction between the analyte and an acidic or basic titrant. When an acid and a base are present in a stoichiometric amount e.g. 1 mole HCl added to 1 mole NaOH‚ this means that the equivalent point has been reached in an acid-base system. The end point of an acid-base titration can be
