Soft corns

Soft corns usually occur between the toes and are softened by the presence of moisture (sweat). 

Hard corns, soft corns and calluses may develop on and between the large and second toe as a result of pressure from shoes. 

Wart or Com Powder. Ivy-leaves dried and ground to fine powder. A popular and useful remedy for warts aud soft corns. Tho part having been moistened with strong vinegar, a pinch of the powder is sprinkled on it, and then bound on wuth a strip of rag. This is sometimes called cos-mcftc readable caustic. A mixturo of equal parts of ravine aud verdigris also make an efficacious wart powder. 

Flour corn—Flour corn, or soft corn as it is sometimes called, has soft, starchy kernels. Because the kernels can be easily ground into flour by hand, flour corn is popular with the Indians of the southwestern United States. Also, it is grown in the warm areas of South America. White and blue are the most common colors, although numerous other colors are found. Flour corn ripens late in the season. 

You may have noticed that most soft drinks contain high fructose corn syrup Corn starch is hy drolyzed to glucose which is then treated with glu cose isomeraseto produce a fructose rich mixture The... 

Xylan occurs in practically all land plants and is said to be present in some marine algae.6 In both wide botanical distribution and abundance in nature it closely follows cellulose and starch. It is most abundant in annual crops, particularly in agricultural residues such as corn cobs, corn stalks, grain hulls and stems. Here it occurs in amounts ranging from 15 to 30%. Hard woods contain 20 to 25% xylan while soft woods contain 7 to 12 %. Spring wood has more pentosan than summer wood. 7 Low strength vegetable fibers of commerce such as jute, sisal, Manila... 

The sweeteners used in soft drinks can be divided into two main categories. These are the natural sweeteners, such as sucrose, invert syrups, corn-derived syrups and honey, and the high-intensity sweeteners (artificial sweeteners) such as saccharin, aspartame and acesulfame K. In most fruit juices and many soft drinks, except diet vaiieties, sugars are a major component of the product. 

The soft drink is initially cooled to 4°C in a fridge. The container is then opened and an aliquot of concentrated sodium hydroxide (40%) is added to quench the carbon dioxide in the product (typically 10 ml of NaOH is added to 284 ml of product). The carbon dioxide is quenched by reaction with the sodium hydroxide to form bicarbonate and carbonate ions. An aliquot (50 /a/) of the quenched product is removed and pipetted into the corning instrument s cell. The cell is closed and the solution acidified to release the carbon dioxide, which is then detected by the change in the thermal conductance of the vapour phase. 

The final method uses ion chromatography and shows comparable results to the Corning method (Haims et al., 2000). Here the carbon dioxide is again converted to carbonate by the addition of sodium hydroxide. The treated sample is then analysed using HPLC linked with conductivity detection. Harms et al., found that the method worked well for both beers and soft drinks and that there were no significant differences between the results produced by this... 

In recent years, the conversion of starch to fructose has become a very important commercial process. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is approximately twice as sweet as sucrose. It is used in soft drinks, canned fruits, lactic acid beverages, juice, bread, ice cream, frozen candies, and so on. HFCS can be obtained from a variety of cereals and vegetables, such as corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, and cassava. Corn is the most important source of HFCS because of low costs and excellent utilities of its by-products, corn meal, oil, gluten, germ, and fiber.

Limited data in animals suggest that chlorobenzene is not teratogenic. Rats were administered chlorobenzene (100 or 300 mg/kg) in corn oil by gavage from days 6-15 of gestation (IBT 1977). Fetal weight, external anomalies, and skeletal and soft tissue abnormalities did not differ from control animals in any of the measured parameters. Further, data on maternal weight and behavioral effects did not reveal evidence for dose-related effects.
