Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The five unregulated food additives and the type of processed foods which contain this ingredients and the purpose of them has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Food additive:
A chemical added to a particular food for a particular reason during processing or storage which could affect the characteristics of the food, or become part of the food.
Processed foods:
- • They can be otherwise termed as packaged foods.
- • Processed foods are loaded with salts, sweeteners, colourings, chemicals and preservatives etc.
- • Processed foods can cause serious health issues due to the in-take of too much sugar, fat in the diet.
Examples include cheese, bread, tinned vegetables
(b)
Interpretation:
The potential health impacts of the food additives have to be given and also have to evaluate the relaibility of the given health implications based on the presence, or absence of scientific evidence.

- An analysis of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) content in a food chain for an ecological system is given below: Types of samples DDT concentration (mg kg) Water 0.00005 Plankton 0.04 Minnows 0.2 – 0.9 Predatory Fish 1.3 – 2.0 Predatory Bird 6.0 Duck 22.8 Interpret these results.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about heavy metals and their environmental impact? a. Coffee and tea waste could be viable options to rid water of heavy metals. b. Based on the study shown in class, coffee is definitively the best option to rid heavy metals from water. c. Coffee, tea and caffeine all remove heavy metals from contaminated water through absorption. d. Copper is the most prevalent metal found in drinking water that can cause harm to the environment and humans. e. Copper and zinc concentrations in drinking water are significantly higher in areas with human activity.arrow_forwardYou work in a research organization that is looking for markers of various diseases that can be used as a diagnostic for the disease. It has been reported in the past that high levels of Cu are found in the sweat of people with cystic fibrosis. One of the research projects is focused on looking for high levels of Cu in samples that can be obtained non-invasively such as saliva, sweat, hair, nails, etc. The lab will analyze large samples for Cu. What instrument would you recommend purchasing to support this work, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer or an inductively coupled plasma atomic spectrophotometer? Explain the basis for your decision.arrow_forward

A large conglomerate in the United States ships electronic waste to developing countries for disposal. B. A computer company incinerates the electronic waste produced from defective prod- ucts to reduce the cost of landfill disposal. C. A school district uses recycle bins earmarked for the disposal of all electronic waste pro- duced throughout the school year. D. A hospital uses sanitary landfills to discard electronic waste to reduce the cost of recy- cling electronics.arrow_forwardPlease help me fill in the highlighted. I don't know. Please explain how to get the answers. Thank you in advance.arrow_forwardB. Rates of reaction are typically measured as the change of concentration per unit time. Some typical units of concentration are: M, mM, pM, µM, nM. Some typical units of time are: years, days, hr, s, ms, ps, µs, and ns. For each reaction, suggest a reasonable unit of measure for the rate of reaction. a. The combustion of gasoline. b. The transformation of organic material into crude oil. Chemical change involved with memory in the human brain. с. d. The rusting of an iron nail. 9. Why would a scientist use nM/ps instead of M/s? - 112 -arrow_forward
- 2 Please introduce your thoughts and discuss Chemistry and Food. How does Chemistry affect the Food supply, production, storage, transportation, availability, quality, quantity, etc. Are there any issues with Chemistry involved in all stages of food production? Do you think Chemistry is doing more harm than good or it is the other way around? If so, what are the alternatives? Do you think educating general public in the field of Chemistry helps people understand more about Chemistry's impact on food?
