| chemistry book sri lanka: Cinnamon Ranjith Senaratne, Ranjith Pathirana, 2021-01-25 Cinnamon is the common name for the spice obtained from the dried inner bark of several species of the genus Cinnamomum in the Lauraceae family. In world trade, Cinnamomum cassia (L.) J. Presl Cinnamomum burmannii dominate, but it is of a different quality to ‘true’ or ‘Ceylon’ cinnamon produced from Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (C. verum J. Presl), with the latter much easier to process, giving a more delicate, sweeter flavor with nuances of clove, but more importantly with only traces (often below detection thresholds) of coumarin, compared with 5–7 g/kg in other species. Cinnamon has been a popular and expensive spice in many civilizations, including ancient Egypt, Rome and in 14th and 15th century Europe, where it was used primarily to preserve meat for its antibacterial properties, fine aroma and flavor. Ancient Egyptians used cinnamon in mummification process due to its antibacterial properties and fragrance. The quest for cinnamon brought many explorers to Ceylon, whose ancient history is intertwined with the cinnamon trade. Ancient Egyptians and Romans used cinnamon as a valued spice and as an incense. In recent years, much research has been conducted in crop improvement, processing and value addition in cinnamon. In addition to direct use as a condiment/spice, cinnamon has found a multitude of uses in the food and beverage, traditional medicine, pharmacology, nutraceutical and cosmetics industries. Ceylon cinnamon is unique in that oils distilled from the bark (major constituents are cinnamaldehyde and oleoresins), leaf (eugenol is the major constituent used in dentistry, perfumes, flavorings and as an antioxidant) and roots (camphor) have different industrial uses. Cinnamaldehyde is now a proven natural bactericide widely used in food and beverage industry, effective against Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli. Thus, it has become an important natural component of organic fruit and vegetable juices to enhance microbial safety of these nutritious beverages. Because of its manifold uses, cinnamon is an important crop. There have been many recent publications on its ethnobotany, genetics, crop improvement, agronomy, processing, biotechnology, chemistry, food and medicinal uses, and industrial applications. However, one book condensing all these findings is lacking. Our publication, with chapters devoted to all these aspects of cinnamon written by experts in these fields, condenses current knowledge into a single source and contribute to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge and technology. Contributors to the book constitute internationally renowned senior scientists and academics with hands-on experience as well as movers and shakers of industry, thereby striking a right balance between theory and practice. Therefore it is a valuable source for students, teachers, scientists, planners policy makers, practicing agriculturists and industrialists, and a prized acquisition to any library in higher education institutions, R & D institutions and public and private sector institutions in agriculture and allied fields. |

| chemistry book sri lanka: Follow the Chemistry Lai Yoong Goh, 2010 This autobiography presents a personal account of the life of a woman academic, over a span of 60 years, from incidents in her childhood, through the education process from primary to pre-university education in British Malaya to two doctorates from University College London. As the story unfolds, it is immediately apparent that her journey in academia has been far from ordinary. She gives credit to the excellent early education she received in Ipoh - a medium-sized town in Malaya - from highly qualified and dedicated nuns and teachers in the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus. Hers was a career carved out by Providence, as she drifted to various international centers of learning, depending on the sponsorship of scholarships available at the time. Her drive and passion for chemistry (actually with other attributes as well) allowed her to rub shoulders with some of the best minds in the field. Her association with numerous colleagues, mentors and scientists, unintentionally and unknowingly, laid the groundwork for a sort of global networking, which in turn influenced her career path in subtle yet significant ways.This proved immensely useful later as she balanced the rigorous demands of teaching, research and family. She has shown that it is not impossible for a woman to make a success of family and life in academia. Indeed, her story will encourage young women venturing into science and academia. It also shows that developing countries - more than their developed counterparts - have a good deal to gain from their professional citizens by removing obstacles such as unduly early mandatory retirement and poor support for active researchers. It is a refreshing glimpse into the author's generation in science and academia and a repository of important insights for students and scientists in developing and emerging economies. |

| chemistry book sri lanka: Green Chemistry – I Dr. M. Umayavalli, Dr. S. Parvathy, Dr. Bhavani Boddeda, Mr. S Ganesan, 2024-01-22 The concept of green chemistry, which is often referred to as sustainable chemistry, is a chemical philosophy that promotes the development of products and processes that minimize or eliminate the use of hazardous compounds and the production of such substances. Green chemistry is an approach to chemistry that aims to minimize and avoid pollution at its source, in contrast to environmental chemistry, which is the study of chemistry that includes the natural environment and the substances that cause pollution in nature. Within the United States of America, the Pollution Prevention Act was enacted in the year 1990. With the aid of this legislation, a method of operation was developed for addressing pollution in a manner that was both creative and inventive. It aims to prevent issues from occurring in the first place. Companies have been able to reach commercial and social objectives while simultaneously benefiting the environment as a result of innovations and uses of green chemistry brought about by the field of education. Given that education is the precursor to implementation, a student must get training to apply chemistry in a more environmentally friendly manner. To serve as a textbook for a discipline-specific elective source, this book on green chemistry has been developed. This book was prepared with the intention of introducing the idea of green chemistry to students who are enrolled in college-level courses. |

| chemistry book sri lanka: Advanced Research Methodology: Methods And Techniques Dr. S. Parvathy, Dr. M. Umayavalli, Dr. P. Ramu, Mrs. V. Manjula, 2023-07-28 The researcher's inner world is formed by his or her choice of research methodology, which considers the nature of the study and the researcher's philosophy, time frame, and other contextual factors. Furthermore, the research methodology works as the central nervous system since it limits the scope of the investigation and because proper research work necessitates that both the internal and exterior surroundings adhere to the correct research methodology procedure. Research methodologies refer to the procedures used to assemble information for studies. The data might be used for theoretical or applied studies, such as the strategic conceptualization of management research, operational planning methodologies, and change management. Most of your work will be done when you complete the data analysis. However, before you start, you need to consider specific crucial issues in research technique, such as the validity of research data, ethics, and dependability. After this comes the research plan, which might be either purely experimental or include some elements of experimentation. The last two steps are analyzing the data and producing the research report. The data is meticulously sorted into graphs & tables, and only the most relevant information is presented. A researcher must develop a research approach appropriate to the study's subject matter. It is essential to remember that even if two topics need the same study approach, the research technique might differ. |

| chemistry book sri lanka: Food Adulteration and Role of Hygiene Dr. S. Parvathy, Dr. M. Umayavalli, Dr. J. Dharmaraja, Mrs.V. Manjula, 2023-06-26 The purpose of this book is to put out the knowledge of understanding and to identify a few common culinary adulterants. Food is essential for life's sustenance and nourishment. Food adulteration defrauds the consumer and can pose grave health risks in certain instances. In accordance with the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act of 1954 and the rules promulgated thereunder, food adulteration is a punishable offence. Hygiene is a concept associated with medicine as well as personal and professional care practices related to most aspects of daily life, although it is most commonly associated with sanitation and preventative measures. Personal hygiene can prevent food borne illness. Food-poisoning-causing bacteria can be found on everyone, including healthy individuals. Due to the significance of food, contemporary society views food adulteration as a grievous and unforgivable socioeconomic transgression. In fact, The Adulteration of Food Stuffs and Other Food is a concurrent list item in the Indian Constitution. In order to prevent this food adulteration, the Indian government has enacted The Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 as a piece of consumer legislation. |
