Cmmbles are formed by grinding pellets to the desired sizes. Specialty feeds such as flakes can be made by mnning newly manufactured pellets through a press or through use of a double dmm dryer. The latter type of flakes begin as a slurry of feed ingredients and water. When the slurry is pressed between the hot rollers of the double dmm dryer, wafer thin sheets of dry feed are produced that are then broken into small pieces. The different colors observed in some tropical fish foods represent a mixture of flakes, each of which contains one or more different additives that impart color. 

The final product is a fine powder that is shown to be Co304 by FTIR. The paler color observed at the top of the particle in Figure 1.6g arises because the sample is heated from below. 

The colors are characteristic of the ions themselves and are due to transitions between the partly filled d orbitals of transition metals (d-d transitions) or the partly filled / orbitals of lanthanides (f-f transitions). In the 3d transition-metal ions, the 3d orbitals contain one or more electrons. When these ions are introduced into a solid, the orbital energies are split by interactions with the surrounding anions. The color observed is due to transitions between these split energy levels. The color observed varies considerably as the interactions are dependent upon the...

The seven major flavonoids in these flours were isolated and identified as 3-0-glycosides of kaempferol and quercetin. The marked brown discoloration observed when LCP glanded cottonseed flour is used in a food product is caused by bound gossypol and at least two bound gossypol-like pigments. The brown color observed when glandless cottonseed flour is used in food is believed to be due to other phenolic constituents that are either insoluble polymers or are bound to the insoluble plant polysaccharides.

Rutile derives its name from the Latin rutiius, red, in reference to the deep red color observed ill some specimens when viewed by transmitted light.

There has been a growing interest in the food industry for a color space based on a polar model. In 1976 when CIELAB was adopted, the CIE recommended an alternative color scale known as CIELCH or L C H. Of the three dimensions of color, the hue is the most critical in terms of perceptibility and acceptability for normal color observers. The L C H color space identifies the hue as one of the three dimensions. A color is located using cylindrical coordinates with L being the same as in CIELAB and C and H computed from a and b. The coordinates of CIELCH (also see Fig. F5.1.11) are ... 

Use the Color Observation activity in eChapter 20.10 to predict the color a solution would appear if it absorbed blue, orange, red, or violet light. Does the Color Wheel activity in that same section confirm your predictions ... 

Visible white light is a source of color. The color observed for an object is a function of the light source and the reflective and absorbing properties of the surface that the light strikes. 

Consider the colors observed during the demonstration and record your emotional response to the colors. 

Vanillin-potassium hydroxide A 2% solution of vanillin in n-propanol is sprayed on the plate, which is heated (100°C, 10 min) and sprayed again with 1% ethanolic potassium hydroxide. Reheating yields a variety of colors observed under daylight.
