Synthetic chemicals substitution

Dozens of compounds have been used in in vivo fluonne NMR and MRI studies, chosen more for their commercial availability and established biochemistry than for ease of fluonne signal detection [244] Among the more common of these are halothane and other fluormated anesthetics [245, 246], fluorodeoxyglucose [242 243], and perfluormated synthetic blood substitutes, such as Fluosol [246], a mixture of perfluorotnpropylamine and perfluorodecahn Results have been Imut-ed by chemical shift effects (multiple signals spread over a wide spectral range) and long acquisition times... 

HPLC has been applied for the separation of synthetic C8 substituted bacteriochloro-phyll-d analogues. The chemical structures of analytes are shown in Fig. 2.136. 

But why are NP-rich plants more expensive than commodity or crops Simply because, in contrast to the easily substitutable staple foods, the plants that produce highly attractive NPs usually have a much more limited geographical distribution. Consequently, there is less competition in the market place and substitution remains very difficult in most cases (e.g., there is no satisfactory synthetic coffee, tea or chocolate). Some of the NPs used in scents and flavours have been substituted with synthetic chemicals but even then many consumers were prepared to pay a premium for plant-derived flavouring (e.g., natural vs. synthetic vanilla). 

Chemical substitution, where chemists devise synthetic routes to make commercial production of the chemical economical— vanillin is one example. 

Sulfonamides are synthetic compounds whose common chemical nucleus, which is essential for the exhibited antibacterial activity, comes from sulfanilamide, the simpler member of the sulfonamide group. In this nucleus, the sulfonamide ( SO2NH2 ) nitrogen has been designated as and the amino ( NH2) nitrogen as M. Most sulfonamides have been synthesized by chemical substitution at the M position since substitution at the TV position results, with certain exceptions, in compounds with greatly reduced antibacterial activity compared to their unsubstituted counterparts.

Impuritiesand the a P-quartz tranition. The a- 3-quartz transition was the basis for one of the earliest systematic investigations of the variation of transition temperatures in response to impurities. Pure a-quartz undergoes a first-order transition to a microtwinned incommensurate structure at 573°C, and this modulated phase transforms to P-quartz at 574.3°C with second-order behavior (Van Tendeloo et al. 1976, Bachheimer 1980, Dolino 1990). Tuttle (1949) and Keith and Tuttle (1952) investigated 250 quartz crystals and observed that Tc for natural samples varied over a 38°C range. In their examination of synthetic specimens, substitution of Ge for Si raised the critical temperature by as much as 40°C, whereas the coupled exchange of Ar +Li o Si depressed Tc by 120°C. They concluded from their analyses that the departure of the a-P-quartz inversion temperature from 573°C could be used to assess the chemical environ-ment and the growth conditions for natural quartz. 

This chapter outlines the compositional variations of the apatite-group minerals, with emphasis on the chemical substitutions that appear to be responsible for these variations. We purposely include data from the large number of synthetic apatites, which may or may not... 

Available data from natural occurrences and synthetic materials have shown that apatites are capable of accommodating a large number of elements and molecules because of the remarkable tolerance of these phases to structural distortion and chemical substitution. The chemistry of apatites is further complicated by nonstoichiometry, order-disorder in all of the c-axis anion channel, tetrahedral and Ca sites, and the presence of elements with multiple valences (e.g., Cr, Eu, Mn, and S). The example on the uptake of REEs in FAp, OHAp, and ClAp showed that the complex compositional variation in apatites is controlled by both crystal-chemical and external factors. 

Fischer-Tropsch Gasification Process Catalyzed chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen are converted into liquid hydrocarbons of various forms, typically used to produce synthetic petroleum substitute for use as lubrication oil or as fuel. Named for German chemists Hans Fischer and Franz Tropsch. 

In addition to the direct antioxidant property, it is anticipated to have beneficial effects in human nutrition. Although this latter aspect is to some extent disputed, the idea is still valid to use a natural ingredient as a substitute for a synthetic chemical component that would otherwise be applied. 

The preceding sections on sensory characters of organics cover only the major organic groupings widely encountered in flavor work and is by no means exhaustive. Discussing each compound class in detail would require a book in itself. It is intended merely to draw attention to the enormous range of aromatic effects that can be derived from synthetic chemicals and in no way is a substitute for practical exposure to the odor and flavor characteristics of the chemicals permitted for use in foods. 

Because many people like their tea and coffee sweetened, and to replace the sugar in lemonades etc., there is a range of sugar substitutes. These are synthetic chemicals that are very much sweeter than sugar but are not metabolized as metabolic fuels. Even those that can be metabolized (for example aspartame, which is an amino acid derivative) are taken in such small amounts that they make no significant contribution to intake. All of these compounds have been extensively tested for safety, but as a result of concerns about possible hazards some are not permitted in some countries although they are widely used elsewhere.
