Key raw materials

Raw materials are the main means of carrying spoilage yeasts into the factory. Materials include liquid sugars, juice concentrates, comminutes and natural colors and flavours. Sample size is 250 ml (minimum). 

Groups Fermentation YM broth or product YM YMS YM1 YM60 ACT Sexual 

YM5YM + 0.5% acetic acid (add just before pouring plate). 

Sexual states ascospores for Zygosaccharomyces, Saccharomyces, Torulaspora, Schizo-saccharomyces, Pichia, Debaromyces, Geotrichum (very rare), Kluveromyces and Dekkera (rare). 

The purity of the starting materials needs to be determined in order to ensure the purity of the final compound and to avoid any undesired secondary reactions that may carry forward in the downstream chemistry. Starting materials can be classified as raw materials or key raw materials. The latter are raw materials in which some part of the raw material structure is incorporated into the final structure of the drug substance. For the raw materials, usually an identification test and concentration of the reagent suffices although the purity of these materials is sometimes also deemed as a necessity. However, for key raw materials the purity of this reagent must be known. The analysis of the key raw materials depends on the nature of the substance (i.e., volatility) and a 

This emphasizes that appropriate control of the starting material is needed. If the purity of the starting material is not controlled adequately, then recrys-talUzation steps may be needed in later steps to remove synthetic by-products in the API that are above a qualified level which may result in decreased yield of the synthesis. Chromatographic analysis of the key raw material should be employed to determine the limits of the impurities in 3,4,5-trimethoxyben-

In general, the detection and identification of impurities present in API and formulations play an integral role in the drug development process and methods need to be developed to adequately resolve these species and quantitate them. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) [3] has published a guidehnes on impurities in new drug substances and new drug products (see Table 8-1). The acceptable limit of the impurities in drug substances is dependent upon the maximum daily dose and the quahfication threshold however, lower thresholds are sometimes deemed necessary if the

Industrial ethanol is one of the largest-volume organic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products. The main uses for ethanol are as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals (Table 8) and as a solvent. As a solvent, ethanol is second only to water. Ethanol is a key raw material in the manufacture of dmgs, plastics, lacquers, poHshes, plasticizers, perfumes, and cosmetics. Around 1960, manufacture of ethanol was the top consumer of ethylene in the United States, but since 1965 it has rated below manufacture of ethylene oxide and polyethylene.

Hydroxylamine (hyam) is used in the production of caprolactam, a key raw material for the manufacture of Nylon-6. Several technologies exist for the production of caprolactam with a key difference being the amount of byproduct ammonium sulfate, a low cost fertilizer, formed. The hyam used in the process is produced by... 

Kanegafuchi Chemical Industries produce D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine, which is a key raw material for the semisynthetic penicillins ampicillin and amoxycillin. Here, an enantioselective hydantoinase is applied to convert the hydantoin to the D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine. The quantitative conversion of the amide hydrolysis is achieved because of the in situ racemization of the unreacted hydantoins. Under the conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis, the starting material readily racemizes. Therefore, this process enables the stereospecific preparation of various amino acids at a conversion of 100% [38]. 

For key raw materials that can create significant hazards if overcharged the maximum possible charge should be physically limited by sizing the feed tanks to hold no more than the required quantity. 

Finally, we compare procurement price scenarios for key raw materials from low to high raw material prices. The results shown in fig. 97 are the mirror of the sales price experiments conducted before. 

Linear paraffins are key raw materials for the production of LAB as well as for long chain alcohols, which in turn are transformed into a group of... 

In practice, most industrial processes are staged with multiple reaction processes and separation units as sketched in Figure 4-15. A is the key raw material and is the key product, it is clear that many factors must be included in designing the process to maximize the yield of E. The effectiveness of the separations are obviously critical as well as the kinetics of the reactions and the choice of reactor type and conversion in each reactor. If separations are perfect, then the yields are equal to the selectivities, so that the overall... 

The cost of manufacture includes all fixed and variable operating costs for the facility, including the cost for raw materials. The cost of manufacture should be cast in the form of dollars per pound ( /lb) of a key raw material. Another number that is readily available is the product selling price in dollars per pound of product. Depending on the state of the business—excess capacity or sold out— one of these two numbers can be used to determine the incentive for pollution prevention. 

Methyl fatty esters, derived from oils and fats or fatty acids, are another key raw material for surfactant production and this is illustrated in Figure 1.4. 

Epichlorohydrin, or l-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, is the key raw material in the manufacture of the most widely used epoxy resins known as glycidyl ethers, amines, and esters. The most... 

Epoxides are a very versatile class of compounds and the interest in catalytic epoxidation reactions is very high.70,71 They are the key raw materials in the syntheses of a wide variety of chemicals. A number of compounds have been shown to be catalytically active, but the regular laboratory reagents for epoxidations are generally methyl trioxorhenium(VII)72-81 and the Jacobsen-Katsuki-catalysts82-94 which can even introduce chirality. They are also theoretically well investigated95-106 and are described below. 

Knowledge of pKa for the target analyte and related impurities is particularly useful for commencement of method development of HPLC methods for key raw materials, reaction monitoring, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. This practice leads to faster method development, rugged methods, and an accurate description of the analyte retention as a function of pH at varying organic compositions. Relationship of the analyte retention as function of mobile-phase pH (spH) is very useful to determine the pK of the particular... 

Impurity 1 and Impurity 2, were identified as 2,4-diamino-5-(-4-ethoxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine and 2,4-diamino-5-(3-bromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine, respectively (structures shown in Figure 8-3), using LC/MS, MS/MS, and NMR. Both these synthetic by-products were presumed to come from the starting key raw material 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde. 

Vertical fit between partners. Olefines, such as ethylene and propylene, are the key raw materials for most petrochemical products. No fully efficient and liquid merchant markets for olefines exist yet in Europe, because of the traditional integration of petrochemical players and also because of transportation difficulties, which are worsened by the absence in Europe of an extensive pipeline network like that on the Gulf Coast of the United States. Such markets probably wiU not be developed in the short to medium term, especially for ethylene which is relatively hard to transport...
