Starch is composed of two molecules: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction of the 1-4 linkages of the α-amylose component when digesting ...

But water cremation — or alkaline hydrolysis — is legal in 28 other states, and its ecological benefits have piqued the interest of a growing number of Texans. So much so that a few years ago ...

The team hoped that sulfatase would catalyse the required hydrolysis reaction, involving the addition of a water molecule, and so break the sulfate bond. Instead, sulfatase was observed to ...

All three steps pose some technical challenges such as incomplete hydrolysis with sodium carryover to the high temperature reaction, and slow kinetics of the hydrogen formation. Several pathways to ...

We have proposed to promote hydrolysis using organic acids, which are low cost, low toxicity, and capable of sequestering ammonia, thereby purifying the generated hydrogen gas stream. Organic acids ...

The complexity of monitoring water resources for the presence of hazardous mono-aromatic pollutants is eliminated with a ...

Soaps play a vital role in keeping clean. They are salts made from the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils (triglycerides). Fat molecules contain three ester links. These can be hydrolysed when ...
