This growth retardant is a system ic compound which is distributed throughout the fruit matrix. Thermal processing of fruit containing daminozide produces a hydrolysis product, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), which is a cancer suspect agent. Daminozide was added to a 50 mM NaH2P04-24% sucrose solution at 12.5 ppm (w/w) to determine the influence of heating, pH and processing conditions on hydrolysis of daminozide to UDMH.

China. * [email protected] (Received on 19th September 2011, accepted in revised form 15th February 2012) Summary: A novel slow-release nitrogen fertilizer poly(carbonyl urea)oligomer (PCUO) was prepared by the condensation polymerization of urea and dipropyl carbonate (DPrC) at normal pressure, in which anhydrous potassium carbonate was as a catalyst. The oligomer was characterized by FT-IR, 1H- NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, which showed that the number average degree of PCUO was 1 to 5. The effects of the molar ratio of urea to DPrC, reaction time as well as the temperature on the yields were investigated and optimized. In addition, the slow-release behaviour of PCUO was evaluated in distilled water and the results showed that the product with good slow-release properties could be expected to have wide potential applications in modern agriculture and horticulture. Introduction The consumption of synthetic nitrogen methods for poly(carbonyl urea)oligomer have some fertilizer in agriculture has increased over the past drawbacks: the raw materials (e.g. sulfurisocyanatidic several decades, and it might continue to rise in order chloride, phosgene) and by-products (e.g. to meet the food demand of the growing global chlorinegas, hydrogen chloride and so forth) were population [1].
