Product rank

Finance make projections of yearly cash flow on costs and revenues for your design, compute its net present value and internal rate of return. How do the proposed products rank in project return and security, and in corporate risk diversification ... 

Color in food products ranks second in importance to taste in relation to consumer acceptability of a product. Discoloration problems caused by plant-protein products must be solved if these products are to be accepted. Isolation and identification of the pigments producing color is an important step in solving this problem and the methods developed in the studies presented in this chapter with cottonseed flours are applicable to color problems caused by other plant-protein products. 

On a worldwide basis, as of the early 1980s, the various sources of edible oils, in terms of volume of production, rank as follows Soybeans, 50.3% cottonseed, 16.2% groundnuts (peanuts), 11.4%. sunflower seeds,... 

In most cases, a more cost-effective and reliable approach is to undertake a preliminary sorting by reaction orders and, if called for, product ranks and then proceed in either of two ways ... 

Once the identities of the participants in a reaction have been established, a logical next step toward proposing and testing networks is the determination of reaction orders and, in the case of reactions with many products, of product ranks. The present section examines these preliminaries. 

If one considers that soybean is produced for protein, it can be concluded that canola production ranks first in terms of true oilseed production. The United States, Brazil, and Argentina together produced about 75% of all soybean seeds. The world production of soybean oil is in the top position followed by palm and canola/rapeseed among major oils and fats (Figure 4) (75, 151). 

Cleaning products rank at or near the top of chemical mixtures that induce asthma. I5>3>1 These products are almost always mixtures of lipophiles and hydrophiles and are formulated that way to ensure maximum cleaning power. Chemicals contained in cleaning products include chlorine, acids, alkalis, glycol ethers, ammonia, ethanol, isopropanol, d-limonene, ionic and nonionic surfactants, ethanolamines, phenols, and others. 

Propene oxide (PO) is one of the largest propene derivatives in production, ranking second behind polypropene it is used primarily as a chemical intermediate [1]. Worldwide, approximately 8 million tons are produced annually, the major suppliers are Dow (1.9M-tonyr ), Lyondell (2.1-tonyr ) and Shell/BASF (0.9M-tonyr ) other key producers are Sumitomo, Repsol and Huntsman. 

A high ratio concerns newcomers and old-timers alike because a chemist s annual output of target compounds influences his yearly salary. His relative productivity ranking largely determines his pay increase, regardless of whether he holds a doctor s, master s, or bachelor s degree. 

Sparse data are available on the CLA content of meat products, and the reported values ranged from 0.8 to 6.6 mg CLA/g fat. Fermented meat products ranked in the upper middle part of this range, i.e. different types of sausages contained 3.3. 4mg CLA/g fat (Chin, Liu, Strokson, et al., 1992 Fritsche Steinhart, 1998). The CLA content of commercial meat products was reported to be similar to that of the raw material, that is, fermentation and other processing steps did not exert an important effect on its level (Fritsche Steinhart, 1998). 

However, the trend is uneven—production of ammonia has continued to decline in the USA during 1983, dropping from third to sixth place in the production rankings. This picture has been repeated with other compounds such as nitric acid and urea, which are used in fertilizer production. 

Aerosol products popularity with consumers in the U.S. continues to fuel the market with personal care products ranked as one of the highest product categories.
