Thiamin: Production, Reactions and Biochemical Functions
Thiamin chloride hydrochloride (Vitamin B1) is a white crystalline material. It crystallizes as colorless monoclinic needles. It has a characteristic odor and a slightly bitter taste.
-
Terephthalic acid: production and uses
Terephthalic acid is an organic diacid with the chemical formula C6H4(CO2H)2. It is a white crystalline solid classified as commodity chemical, Terephthalic acid exists commercially in a free-flowing powder form that comprises rounded crystals. When recrystallized slowly, it forms needles.

Gelatin: Properties, Production and Uses
Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless, edible, multifunctional protein polymer, hot-water extracted from “collagens” obtained from various animal and fish byproducts.
-
Citric acid: production, reactions and uses
Citric acid is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits, especially lemons and limes. It is a colorless, crystalline solid at room temperature with the formula C6H8O7.
-
Benzoic Acid: production, reactions and uses
Benzoic acid is a white crystalline solid organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5COOH. The name “benzoic acid” is derived from gum benzoin, a resinous substance obtained from the styrax plant indigenous to South Asia.
-
Acetone: production, reactions and uses
Acetone, also known as 2-propanone, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a pungent odor and low viscosity. It is the simplest ketone, with the formula C3H6O. Acetone is miscible with water, meaning it mixes readily with water in any proportion.
-
Oxalic acid: production, reactions and uses
Oxalic acid is the simplest saturated dicarboxylic acid with the formula C2H2O4. It is a white solid that occurs naturally in the form of a dihydrate. Anhydrous compound must be produced from the dihydrate even when manufactured industrially.
