Facts on File Food Chemistry
Facts On File Food Chemistry is written by David E. Newton and published by Facts On File, Inc. in 2007. Over the past two centuries, chemists have continued to push forward the frontiers of food design and development. Today, virtually every technique that is available to the industrial or research chemist is employed by the food chemist to modify the […]

The Colour Chemistry of Gemstones – Precious Stones [Infographic]
A gemstone or gem (also called as precious stone or semi-precious stone, a fine gem, or jewel) is a piece of mineral, which, in cut and polish form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments. The colours of Gemstones – Precious Stones are affected by differences in chemical and atomic structure, leading to the absorption […]
Food Chemistry By Owen R. Fennema
Food Chemistry (third edition) is edited by Owen R. Fennema (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin) and published by Marcel Dekker, Inc. in 1996. For many years, an acute need has existed for a food chemistry textbook that is suitable for food science students with backgrounds in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This book is designed primarily to fill the aforementioned […]
Testing for Cations By Sodium Hydroxide & Ammonia Precipitates [Infographic]
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution or aqueous Ammonia solution can be added to the solutions containing metal ions in order to discern their identity. The colour precipitate from by the reaction can be used to determine the metal identity. In some cases, the precipitate dissolves in excess NaOH and Ammonia. In the following Test for Cations […]

Metal Ion Flame Test Colours [Infographic]
A flame test is an analytical procedure used by chemists to detect the presence of particular metal ions, based on the colour of the flame produce. When heated, the electrons in the metal ion gain energy and can jump into higher levels. Because this is energetically unstable, the electrons tend to fall back down to […]
