Iodine: Function of Iodine: Iodine is a mineral found in food. This mineral is needed to make thyroid hormones. The hormones created are used to control the body’s metabolism and lots of other important functions. The thyroid hormones are also used for bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy. This mineral is important for everyone‚ especially infants and women who are pregnant. The amount of Iodine needed for your daily intake recommended of the mineral depends on your age:

It about modified starch Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 2‚ No. 2‚ June 2010 requirements are properties such as viscosity‚ resistant to shear‚ low pH and high temperature. Accordingly‚ varieties of modified starches are used in food industry. Table 1 lists some of the modified starches that can be prepared from different sources to meet the marketing-related requirements. Today‚ modified food starch is a food additive and limits of its modification‚ use and labeling are clearly defined

INTRODUCTION Iodine deficiency disorders are still very much prevalent in the world today. Two billion people‚ estimated by the WHO‚ still lack a sufficient level of iodine in their diets which leads to a range of disorders known as iodine deficiency disorders (IDD). So what is iodine? Iodine is an essential micronutrient in the diet which is used by the thyroid gland (located in the throat) to produce thyroid hormones which help control the body’s metabolism. The two most important thyroid

Resistant starch (RS) is starch and starch degradation products that escape from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals.[1] Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber‚ as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates‚ such as sugars and most starch‚ are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored

Peerless strategy Case Overview The first plant of the Peerless starch industry was started in Blair during the civil war times. It is one of the highest wages paying plants in the region sporting a five story building supported by two massive towers. The other plants in the region have all shut down and currently Peerless starch is the only active plant in the region and it employs 8000 of the 120000 residents of the Blair. Company has three more plants in Illinois‚ Oregon and Texas which

Investigating the effects of changing concentration: iodine clock reaction. Abstract This is an experiment to show the Iodine Clock Reaction. To create a chemical reaction to see how long it takes for solution to change to a dark blue Color. When changing the concentration of the iodide (K1) and adding distill water to make it up to 5cm³ each time. This is to see if the reaction takes less with less concentration or faster with more concentration added to the peroxodisulphatee. So with the solution

compare the amount of reducing sugars and starch in yellow and green bananas. Introduction: Bananas are green in colour and taste flat but after they are harvested and stored for some days‚ they will turn yellow from green and become sweet. Hypothesis: The green banana tasted plain because it contained large amount of starch‚ while the yellow banana tasted sweet since it contained large amount of reducing sugars. Biological principles: Benedict’s test for reducing sugar: Reducing sugars include

CHEMICAL KINETICS: IODINE-CLOCK REACTION DATE SUBMITTED: 14 DECEMBER 2012 DATE PERFORMED: 7 DECEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT Chemical kinetics involving reaction rates and mechanisms is an essential part of our daily life in the modern world. It helps us understand whether particular reactions are favorable and how to save time or prolong time during each reaction. Experiment demonstrated the how concentration‚ temperature and presence of a catalyst can change the rate of a reaction. 5 runs of dilution

An investigation on the activation energy for the iodine clock reaction Introduction: The iodine clock reaction is a presentation of chemical kinetics‚ which are the elements that affect the rate of chemical reactions. When the two colorless solutions are incorporated together‚ no reaction can be spotted. But after a short period of time‚ the solution turns into a dark blue solution. The term rate of reaction is stated as the decrease in the concentration of one of the reactions or the increase
