The various fecretions of vegetables, as of odour, fruit, gum, refin, wax, honey, feem brought about in the fame manner as in the glands of animals the taftelefs moifture of the earth is converted by the hop-plant into a bitter juice as by the caterpillar in the nutlhell the fvveet kernel is converted into a bitter powder. While the power of abforption in the roots and barks of vegetables is excited into a Iion by the fluids applied to their mouths like the lafteals and lymphatics of animals. 

Characters.—Fresh corm about the size of a chestnut, flattened where it has an undeveloped bud furnished with an outer brown and an inner yellow coat internally white, solid, and fleshy, yielding, when cut, a milky, acrid, and bitter juice. Dried slices about a tenth of an inch thid , moderately indented on one, rarely on both, sides Arm, flat, whitish, amylaceous. 

Bitterness is a major problem to the citrus industry. It is of economic importance because bitter juices have a lower market value. Bitterness is mainly caused by the accumulation of two different chemical compounds limonin from the limonoid terpine group and naringin from the flavonoid phenolic group in the fruit tissues. The highest concentrations of the bitter compounds are generally found in immature fruits. As the fruits mature, the concentrations of the bitter compounds decrease. 

The chemical responsible for the bitter principle of lemons. It Is contained in the white spongy inner part of the rind. Too much limonin released into the juice during extraction produces bitter juice. 

There are two major products derived from the leaves of Aloe spp. The yellow bitter juice present in specialized cells beneath the thick epidermis yields the drug aloe, which is obtained from all above species. The parenchymatous tissue in the center of the leaf contains a mucilaginous gel that yields aloe gel or Aloe vera gel, which is currently obtained from A. vera. ... 

Aloe is obtained by cutting the leaves at their base and letting the yellow bitter juice drain out. The water is evaporated off from the juice by heat and the resulting light to dark brown mass is the drug aloe. 

In the extraction of citms juices it is desirable to have as gende an extraction pressure as possible. There should be minimal contact time between juice and pulp to reduce the amount of bitter substances expressed from the peel into the juice. The amount of suspended soHds in citms juice is controlled in a subsequent separation in a finisher. A screw action is used to force the juice through a perforated screen and separate the larger pulp particles from the juice. The oil level in the juice is adjusted by vaporizing under a vacuum (10). The separated pulp is washed and finished several times to produce a solution which is then either added back to the juice to increase juice yield, or concentrated to produce pulp wash soHds, also called water extract of orange soHds, which can be used as a cloudy beverage base. 

Chill a 7-ounce Champagne glass. Rinse the glass with the vermouth (reserve the vermouth). Add the lime juice and Chambord. Fill the glass with Champagne. Top with the reserved vermouth cherry juice and bitters. Garnish with a cherry. 

Lemon juice keeps it tart soda water keeps it light orange bitters keeps it smart. 

Esophagitis Inflammation of the esophagus caused by frequent regurgitation of acid and peptic juices from the stomach. The main symptoms are heartburn, regurgitation of bitter fluid, and sometimes difficulty in swallowing. Complications of esophagitis...

Acids and bases are extremely common substances, as are their reactions with each other. At the macroscopic level, acids taste sour (that is, lemon juice) and react with bases to yield salts. Bases taste bitter (that is, tonic water) and react with acids to form salts. 

Tastes sour. (Don t taste anything you don t know is safe )Try tasting lemon juice or even a little vinegar. Tastes bitter. (Don t taste anything you don t know is safe ) Put a tiny bit of baking soda on your tongue. 

The primary advantage of CD complexation is to stabilize and protect sensitive host molecules, such as flavors, odors, or pharmaceuticals. CDs sharply reduce the volatility, chemical, thermal and photo reactivity of guest moleciiles. More recently, CDs have been used for separation of components in solution. For example, CDs can remove reactive components from fhiit juices to prevent oxidation or eUminate bitterness. Attachment of CDs to chromatographic supports provides chiral separation, selective component removal and modified chemical reactivity. A number of modified and pol3nnerized CD materials have gained acceptance as separation media (9). 

A). Cyanide ions (CN ) enter the organism in the form of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) the latter can be inhaled, released from cyanide salts in the acidic stomach juice, or enzymatically liberated from bitter almonds in the gastrointestinal tract The lethal dose of HCN can be as low as 50 mg. CN binds with high affinity to trivalent iron and thereby arrests utilization of oxygen via mitochondrial cytochrome oxidases of the respiratory chain An internal asphyxiation (histotoxic hypoxia) ensues while erythrocytes remain charged with O2 (venous blood colored bright red). 

Oral powder- The oral powder may be mixed with a small amount of water, milk, formula, soy formula, soy milk, or dietary supplement once mixed, the entire contents must be consumed in order to obtain the full dose. Acidic food or juice (eg, orange juice, apple juice, or apple sauce) are not recommended because of bitter taste. Do not reconstitute with water in its original container. Once mixed, store the oral powder for no more than 6 hours. May be refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
