High-chlorine foods

A dry food diet may be helpful in taking care of edema or water-related obesity. The following foods should be used in connection with high-chlorine foods, such as celery, okra, whey, and dulce. 

PCB mixtures were once used for a variety of purposes, and came to cause widespread environmental pollution. Over 100 different congeners are present in commercial products such as Aroclor 1248 and Aroclor 1254. PCBs are lipophilic, stable, and of low vapor pressure. Many of the more highly chlorinated PCBs are refractory, showing very strong biomagnification with movement along food chains. 

If you breathe air that contains CDDs, the CDDs can enter your body through your lungs and pass into the blood stream, but we do not know how fast or how much of the CDDs will enter the blood stream. If you swallow food or water containing CDDs, most of the CDDs will enter your body and pass from the intestines to the blood stream. Smaller amounts of highly chlorinated CDDs will enter your body compared to the less chlorinated 2,3,7,8-TCDD. If you swallow soil containing CDDs, a small amount of the CDDs will pass through the intestines into the blood stream. If soil contaminated with CDDs comes into contact with your skin, some of the CDDs will enter the body but we do not know how fast they will enter the blood stream.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has recommended methods for the determination of mercury in pesticides. The method selected depends on the other constituents of the formulation and in the presence of copper the method of Brookes and Solomon (see p. 419) is most suitable. In the presence of most other constituents the selected method is one in which the sample is refluxed with concentrated sulphuric acid and potassium nitrate before determining the mercury volumetrically with thiocyanate. When large amounts of calcium carbonate or highly chlorinated compounds e,g, benzene hexachloride) are present, the mercury is isolated as a sulphide before conversion to the ionic form with strong acid. 

A chlorination process (20,21,44—46) converts sucrose into sucralose [56038-13-2] (4,l, 6 -trichloro-4,l, 6 -trideoxy-galactosucrose), a heat-stable, noncariogenic, noncaloric, high intensity sweetener. Sucralose is approved for food use in Canada, Australia, and Russia. It is not yet approved for use in the United States. 

Calcium Hypochlorite. High assay calcium hypochlorite [7778-54-3] was first commercialized in the United States in 1928 by Mathieson Alkali Works, Inc. (now Olin Corp.) under the trade name HTH. It is now produced by two additional manufacturers in North America (Table 5). Historically, it usually contained about 1% water and 70—74% av CI2, so-called anhydrous product, but in 1970, a hydrated product was introduced (234). It is similar in composition to anhydrous Ca(OCl)2 except for its higher water content of about 6—12% and a slightly lower available chlorine content. This product has improved resistance to accidental initiation of self-sustained decomposition by a Ht match, a Ht cigarette, or a small amount of organic contamination. U.S. production in the 1990s consists primarily of partially hydrated Ca(OCl)2, which is sold as a 65% av CI2 product mainly for swimming pool use. Calcium hypochlorite is also sold as a 50% av CI2 product as a sanitizer used by dairy and food industries and in the home, and as a 32% product for mildew control. 

Polyethylene can be chlorinated in solution in carbon tetrachloride or in suspension in the piescnce ot a catalyst. Below 55-60% chlorine, it is more stable and more compatible with many polymers, especially polyvinyl chloride, to which it gives increased impact strength. The low pressure process copolymerizes polyethylene with propylene and butylene to increase its resistance to stress cracking. Copolymerization with vinyl acetate at high pressure increases flexibility, resistance to stress cracking, and seal ability of value to the food industry. 

Ionic compounds have chemical properties very different from those of the neutral atoms from which they form. Sodium metal reacts very violently with water, and chlorine gas is poisonous and highly corrosive. In contrast, sodium chloride simply dissolves in water and is a substance that most people use to season their food. 

Titanium dioxide (E171, Cl white 6) is a white, opaque mineral occurring naturally in three main forms rutile, anatase, and brookite. More than 4 million tons of titanium dioxide are produced per year and it is widely used for industrial applications (paints, inks, plastics, textiles) and in small amounts as a food colorant. ° "° Production and properties — Titanium oxide is mainly produced from ilmenite, a titaniferous ore (FeTiOj). Rutile and anatase are relatively pure titanium dioxide (Ti02) forms. Titanium oxide pigment is produced via chloride or sulfate processes via the treatment of the titanium oxide ore with chlorine gas or sulfuric acid, followed by a series of purification steps. High-purity anatase is preferred for utilization in the food industry. It may be coated with small amounts of alumina or silica to improve technological properties.
