Organic Chemistry 964 Chapter 20 Carboxylic Acid Derivatives 7. The functional group of nitriles is somewhat similar to that of the alkynes. The two component 2 atoms are sp hybridized. The IR stretching vibration appears at about 2250 cm 1. The hydrogens next to the cyano group are deshielded in 1H NMR. The 13C NMR absorptions for nitrile carbons are at relatively low fi eld (d , 112 – 126 ppm), a consequence of the electronegativity of nitrogen. Problems 30.

Received: 5 February 2020; Accepted: 3 March 2020; Published: 7 March 2020 Abstract: The metabolic activity in plants or fruits is associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can help identify the different diseases. P-ethylphenol has been demonstrated as one of the most important VOCs released by the Phytophthora cactorum (P. cactorum) infected strawberries. In this study, a bioelectronic nose based on a gas biosensor array and signal processing model was developed for the noninvasive diagnostics of the P.cactorum infected strawberries, which could overcome the limitations of the traditional spectral analysis methods. The gas biosensor array was fabricated using the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) immobilized on the surface of field-effect transistor, and then non-covalently functionalized with different single-strand DNAs (ssDNA) through π–π interaction. The characteristics of ssDNA-SWNTs were investigated using scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, Raman, UV spectroscopy, and electrical measurements, indicating that ssDNA-SWNTs revealed excellent stability and repeatability.

Westbrook*, Guillaume Dayma, and Bin Yang An Experimental and Kinetic Modeling Study of Premixed Laminar Flames of Methyl Pentanoate and Methyl Hexanoate Abstract: Detailed chemical structures of stoichiometric and rich premixed lam- inar flames of methyl pentanoate and methyl hexanoate were investigated over a flat burner at 20 Torr and for methyl pentanoate at 1atm. Molecular beam mass spectrometry was used with tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) pho- toionization for low pressure flames of both methyl pentanoate and methyl hex- anoate, and soft electron-impact ionization was used for atmospheric pressure flames of methyl pentanoate. Mole fraction profiles of stable and intermediate species, as well as temperature profiles, were measured in the flames. A detailed chemical kinetic high temperature reaction mechanism for small alkyl ester oxi- dation was extended to include combustion of methyl pentanoate and methyl hex- anoate, and the resulting model was used to compare computed values with ex- perimentally measured values. Reaction pathways for both fuels were identified, with good agreement between measured and computed species profiles. Implica- tions of these results for future studies of larger alkyl ester fuels are discussed. Keywords: Spectroscopy, Reaction Kinetics.

    Haddad Supp pp 1 Supplementary materials for: Global features of neural activity in the olfactory system form a parallel code that predicts olfactory behavior and perception Rafi Haddad1,2#, Tali Weiss1, Rehan Khan1σ, Boaz Nadler2, Nathalie Mandairon3, 3 1* 1*# Moustafa Bensafi , Elad Schneidman and Noam Sobel . Section 1: PCA analysis We provide a step by step example of how we conducted the PCA analysis. Assume we have 8 odors, each located on the vertexes of a 3 dimensional unit cube. Each odor can thus be represented by the exact binary code of the numbers 0 to 7. We can represent these odors in the following binary code matrix: Odor ID Pattern code: 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 3 0 1 0 4 0 1 1 5 1 0 0 6 1 0 1 7 1 1 0 8 1 1 1 1 Haddad Supp pp 2 Using any available mathematical tool (we used Matlab 'princomp' method) we can calculate the principle components scores of this matrix. In this case the values of the PC1 scores are: [1 0 0]. The PC1 projection value of each row is the projection of each row by the PC1 weight vector. For example the PC1 value of the first row is [0,0,0]X[1,0,0] = 0X1 + 0X0 + 0X0 = 0. (this is a vector multiplication). Thus the PC1 value of each row of this matrix is: 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1. Note that usually the PC1 is calculated on a centered matrix (the columns of the matrix have zero mean) and thus the PC1 value might be shifted by some value.

  • Metabolomic Profiling of Non-Saccharomyces
    Metabolomic profiling of non- Saccharomyces yeasts in wine by Margaret Elizabeth Beckner Whitener Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Stellenbosch University Institute for Wine Biotechnology, Faculty of AgriSciences Supervisor: Prof Maret du Toit Co-supervisor: Dr Urska Vrhovsek Co-supervisor: Dr Benoit Divol March 2016 Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe on any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 14 December 2015 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Summary Recent trends in wine making have led to the commercial production and use of non- Saccharomyces yeasts in wine making. Very little is understood however about how the use of these yeasts affects the final product. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemical and sensory characteristics of wine fermented with non-Saccharomyces yeasts using a sequential inoculation strategy. Targeted and untargeted analysis techniques were developed to help identify and quantify the volatile fraction of the wines produced. By combining this and sensory data we were able to build the most comprehensive picture to date of the volatile wine metabolome as it is influenced by various yeast species. The first step was a literature review dedicated to summarizing the current knowledge surrounding the metabolomics of the yeasts used in the subsequent chapters.

This is in agreement with studies of food psychologists who pointed out that flavor is the essential quality attribute of food for the Until today, there is no valid definition of the ideal flavor pattern decision to consume (ELLROTT , 2012; PUD E L , 2003). In the context in strawberry. Despite numerous investigations of the metabolic of consumers’ choice, characteristics like fruit size, color and vitamin composition of strawberries, the description of the relationship content rank behind flavor B( HAT et al., 2015). between flavor pattern and consumer acceptance is inconsistent. Nevertheless, for decades consumers complain about fruit with poor The aim of the present study was to correlate overall liking (ac- flavor especially those which are offered from supermarkets. Already ceptance), the intensity of important sensory parameters, which ALSTON (1992) pointed out that “most of the flavors appreciated were evaluated by a consumer panel, and data of instrumental today in plant products were recognized many years ago and are often analyses like soluble solids content, titratable acidity and volatile best represented in old varieties unsuited to large scale commercial organic compound patterning.

  • Supplementary Material Automatic Parametrization of Non-Polar Implicit Solvent Models for the Blind Prediction of Solvation Free Energies
    Supplementary Material Automatic parametrization of non-polar implicit solvent models for the blind prediction of solvation free energies Bao Wang1, Zhixiong Zhao1, and Guo-Wei Wei1;2;3 ∗ 1Department of Mathematics Michigan State University, MI 48824, USA 2Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Michigan State University, MI 48824, USA 3Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Michigan State University, MI 48824, USA August 12, 2016 The SAMPL0 molecular information and the predicted solvation free energy with different charge method and atomic radius force field parametrization are listed in Table1-4. The SAMPL1-SAMPL4 results are listed in Tables5-20, respec- tively. For the Sampl0-Sampl2 test sets, the RMS errors that inside and outside the parenthesis denote that when the molecules contain Br atom are included and excluded, respectively. The mean average error (MAE) for different force field parametrization are also included. The information of 668 molecules is given in Table 21. exp pred Table S1: The experimental and predicted solvation free energy for the SAMPL0 test set. ∆G is the experimental solvation free energy, ∆GAM1−BCC, pred pred pred ∆GMulliken, ∆GGasteiger, and ∆GSIESTA are the predicted solvation free energy with four different types of charges.
