Is rice a chemical?
no rice is food. Rice is a mixture of chemicals - mainly proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The proteins include around fifteen amino-acids, the most abundant being glutamic acid, chemical formula C5H9NO4.
Another name for a composition reaction is?
Formation reaction.
What are nucleophilic reaction?
A reaction in which a negative ion (nucleophile) attacks on a partially positive carbon atom then reaction is known as nucleophilic reaction, it may be substitution reaction or addition reaction.
What is a sentence with the word reaction?
The chemical reaction was pretty violent.He had a bad reaction to the peanuts.The road conditions influence your reaction times.He waited for her reaction.
Is sucrose a hydrolysis reaction or a condensation reaction?

Account for the development of alkalinity in cultures capable of using citrate as their sole carbon source?
Citrate is acted on by the enzyme citrase, which produces oxaloacetic acid and acetate. These products are then enzymatically converted to pyruvic acid and carbon dioxide. During this reaction the meduim becomes alkaline (the carbon dioxide that is generated combines with sodium and water to form sodium carbonate, and alkaline product.

Is monosodium glutamate prepared from pig products?
The answer to your question is yes and no, with a heavy emphasis on no. Monosodium glutamate is the sodium salt of the non-essential amino acid; non essential refers to the lack of ability for the organism, that organism being humans, to synthesize the amino acid de novo (or in the body). As you are probably aware Monosodium Glutamate is used in food as a flavor enhancer. Predominately MSG was made from wheat gluten, but the Japanese often used Seaweed which is high in glutamic acid. As for today an overwhelming majority of the commercially produced MSG comes from bacterial fermentaion, Micrococcus glutamicus is most commonly used. Micrococcus glutamicus is placed in an environment containing; a carbon source such as dextrose or citrate, a nitrogen source such as urea, mineral ions and other growth factors. Micrococcus glutamicus consumes these compounds from the broth that it is submersed in; then excretes MSG as a product amongst other compounds. After collecting the broth that emerges after a set period, around 72 hours, is then suctioned off and through a process of filtration, concentration, acidification, and crystallization, followed by conversion to its monosodium salt [monosodium glutamate].With that being said there are numerous other ways to refine MSG from other naturally occurring sources, or it may be directly synthesized. Creating processed free glutamic acid (MSG) by bacterial fermentation is not openly discussed by the glutamate industry, and it is not generally discussed in detail in food encyclopedias. It seems strange to us that when Ajinomoto discusses the way in which "monosodium glutamate" is manufactured, they talk about it being made from beets, corn, or some other crop, instead of describing their use of bacteria (which may be genetically engineered) and their process of bacterial fermentation.It used to be that when any ingredient contained 78%-79% processed free glutamic acid (MSG), and the balance was made up of salt, moisture, and up to 1 per cent impurities, the product had to be called "monosodium glutamate" and had to be labeled as such. The FDA required that other MSG-containing ingredients be identified by names other than "monosodium glutamate." Never has the FDA required mention of the fact that an ingredient contains processed free glutamic acid (MSG). Presently, the FDA refers to the 6th edition of the Food Chemical Codex for their definition of "monosodium glutamate." While the glutamic acid in "monosodium glutamate" is generally produced through bacterial fermentation, the glutamic acid in the other MSG-containing ingredients is made through use of chemicals (hydrolysis or autolysis), enzymes (enzymolysis), fermentation, or a complex cooking process wherein reaction flavors are produced from a combination of specific amino acids, reducing sugars, animal or vegetable fats or oils, and optional ingredients including hydrolyzed vegetable protein. In acid hydrolysis, crude gluten or other proteinaceous starting materials are generally hydrolyzed by heating with hydrochloric acid. The chemical hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid is said to be efficient, but almost any organic substance in the raw material is hydrolyzed, resulting in desired reactions such as hydrolysis of proteins, carbohydrates, fats (triglycerides), and the unwanted formation of mono and dichloro propanols, which are carcinogenic. The FDA has admitted, and even pretended to address the fact, that processed free glutamic acid created by acid hydrolysis contains carcinogenic mono and dichloro propanol ( Food Chemical News, December 2, 1996. Pp.24-25). The FDA has also admitted that processed free glutamic acid found in reaction flavors which are produced from a combination of specific amino acids, reducing sugars, and animal or vegetable fats or oils, and optional ingredients including hydrolyzed vegetable protein is also carcinogenic (Lin, L.J. Regulatory status of Maillard reaction flavors. Division of Food and Color Additives, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA. August 24, 1992; Food Chemical News. May 31, 1993, p 16). Processed free glutamic acid (MSG) carries with it material not found with unprocessed glutamic acid. Unprocessed glutamic acid in higher organisms is L-glutamic acid, only. Processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is both L-glutamic acid and D-glutamic acid, and is accompanied by pyroglutamic acid and other impurities. The impurities differ according to the materials and methods used to produce the glutamic acid. Under certain circumstances, processed free glutamic acid is accompanied by mono and dichloro propanols (which are carcinogenic) or heterocyclic amines (which are also carcinogenic). By FDA definition, processed free glutamic acid (MSG) is "naturally occurring," because the basic ingredient is found in nature. "Naturally occurring" does not mean that a food additive is being used in its natural state. "Naturally occurring" only means that the food additive began with something found in nature. By FDA definition, the ingredient "monosodium glutamate" is natural. So is hydrochloric acid. So is arsenic. "Natural" doesn't mean "safe."There are a number of straight forward bold faced lies used by the glutamate industry in defending its contention that exposure to free glutamic acid found in processed food does not cause adverse reactions including hives, asthma, seizures, and migraine headache; could not possibly cause brain damage, learning disorders, or endocrine disturbances; and could not possibly be relevant to diverse diseases of the central nervous system such as addiction, stroke, epilepsy, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and degenerative disorders such as ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Central to their argument is the lie that the processed free glutamic acid used in processed food is identical to the glutamic acid found in unprocessed, unadulterated food and in the human body.I used http://www.truthinlabeling.org/HowIsItManufactured.html as a source hope this helps.
What is the difference between normal reaction and abnormal reaction?
Normal reaction happens when the reaction is normal. Abnormal reaction happens when the reaction is abnormal.
What reaction is opposite of a synthesis reaction?
It would be a catabolic reaction or decomposition reaction.
Why initial reaction is required to minus from final reaction?
The initial reaction is required to be subtracted from the final reaction to get the net reaction.
