Dept of chemistry,Maulana Azad college Arts sci & com.Aurangabad. ABSTRACT Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non- biological components. Food additives are chemicals added to foods to keep them fresh or to enhance their color, flavor or texture. They may include food colorings, flavor enhancers or a range of preservatives .The chemical added to a particular food for a particular reason during processing or storage which could affect the characteristics of the food, or become part of the food Preservatives are additives that inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds in foods. Additives and preservatives are used to maintain product consistency and quality, improve or maintain nutritional value, maintain palatability and wholesomeness, provide leavening(yeast), control pH, enhance flavour, or provide colour Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, preserving sweets or using sulfur dioxide as in some wines. Some preservatives are known to be harmful to the human body. Some are classified as carcinogens or cancer causing agents. Keywords : Food , Food additives, colour, flavour , texture, preservatives.

  • Dissolved Organic Matter-Mediated Photodegradation of Anthracene and Pyrene in Water Siyu Zhao, Shuang Xue*, Jinming Zhang, Zhaohong Zhang & Jijun Sun
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Dissolved organic matter-mediated photodegradation of anthracene and pyrene in water Siyu Zhao, Shuang Xue*, Jinming Zhang, Zhaohong Zhang & Jijun Sun Toxicity and transformation process of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is strongly depended on the interaction between PAHs and dissolved organic matters (DOM). In this study, a 125W high- pressure mercury lamp was used to simulate the sunlight experiment to explore the inhibition mechanism of four dissolved organic matters (SRFA, LHA, ESHA, UMRN) on the degradation of anthracene and pyrene in water environment. Results indicated that the photodegradation was the main degradation approach of PAHs, which accorded with the frst-order reaction kinetics equation. The extent of degradation of anthracene and pyrene was 36% and 24%, respectively. DOM infuence mechanism on PAHs varies depending upon its source. SRFA, LHA and ESHA inhibit the photolysis of anthracene, however, except for SRFA, the other three DOM inhibit the photolysis of pyrene. Fluorescence quenching mechanism is the main inhibiting mechanism, and the binding ability of DOM and PAHs is dominantly correlated with its inhibiting efect. FTIR spectroscopies and UV–Visible were used to analyze the main structural changes of DOM binding PAHs. Generally, the stretching vibration of N–H and C–O of polysaccharide carboxylic acid was the key to afect its binding with anthracene and C–O–C in aliphatic ring participated in the complexation of DOM and pyrene. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are typical persistent organic pollutants with two or more fused ben- zene rings that are widely distributed in multi-media, such as atmosphere, water, sediment, snow, and biota1–4.

  • A Cinnamon and Benzoate Free Diet for Orofacial Granulomatosis
    May 2015 A cinnamon and benzoate free diet for orofacial granulomatosis: Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a condition which affects mainly the mouth and lips. Swelling and redness are the most common symptoms but other symptoms such as mouth ulcers and cracked lips can occur too. The cause is not known but a cinnamon and benzoate free diet helps 70% of people with OFG. Avoiding foods which contain cinnamon and benzoates may help your oral symptoms. You should try and follow this diet for 12 weeks and monitor any improvements in your symptoms diary. Keep to fresh or home cooked food where possible. If you are unsure whether a food or drink may contain cinnamon or benzoate, it is best to avoid it. It is important that you read the labels of any manufactured or prepared foods you consume. 1 Page 2 of 13 Cinnamon Cinnamon is a natural substance, which because it is used in very small quantities does not always have to be stated on food labels. Look for the word spices, spice extracts, ground cinnamon, mixed spice, cinnamon oil, cinnamal or cinnamic aldehyde on food labels. Benzoates Most benzoates are added to food and drinks as a preservative. They are commonly added to fizzy drinks and processed foods. High levels of benzoates may also occur naturally in certain foods. Benzoates includes any of these preservatives: E210 or Benzoic acid E211 or Sodium benzoate E212 or Potassium benzoate E213 or Calcium benzoate E214 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate E215 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate *E216 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Propyl para-hydroxybenzoate *E217 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium para-hydroxybenzoate E218 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Methyl para-hydroxybenzoate E219 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium methyl-hydroxybenzoate *banned in foods produced within the European Union but may be found in imported products.

  • Abstract STABILITY of POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS
    Abstract STABILITY OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND BENZOIC ACID DERIVATIVES UNDER SUBCRITICAL WATER CONDITIONS By Edward J. Lindquist March 2011 Chair: Dr. Rickey P. Hicks Major Department: Chemistry The development of green environmental remediation, chromatography, and extraction techniques using subcritical water is the focus of our research group. The polarity of subcritical water can be manipulated by increasing its temperature in the range of 25 to 374 ºC while keeping it in the liquid state under moderate pressure. At elevated temperatures liquid water becomes less polar and behaves more like an organic solvent. The goal of this research is to determine the conditions under which certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzoic acid derivatives degrade in subcritical water. The stability of two PAHs (pyrene and naphthalene) and benzoic acid and three of its derivatives (anthranilic acid, syringic acid, and salicylic acid) under subcritical water conditions was investigated and the results are discussed in this thesis. PAHs are pollutants widely formed as a result of incomplete combustion of organic materials. The effects of temperatures ranging from 200 to 350 ºC and heating times of 30 and 300 min on the degradation of pyrene and naphthalene in solutions of water and 3% hydrogen peroxide were determined. Our results show that PAHs can be degraded under subcritical water conditions, and thus, this technique may be applied to the environmental remediation of these pollutants. Benzoic acid and its derivatives are found in medicinal herbs and other plants. While the extraction of these active ingredients from herbs using subcritical water is non-toxic and preferred, the decomposition of these compounds under subcritical water conditions has to be examined.
