Composition of cottonseed soapstock fats

The compositions of cottonseed soapstocks from first-grade and low-grade cotton seeds have been studied by the methods of CC on polyamide and on silica gel, TLC, GLC, ESR, and UV, IR, and mass spectrometry. It has been found that saturated, and also oxygenated, fatty acids, nonpolar acylglycerols, glycolipids, sterols, arylalkanes, gossypol pigments, and ions of metals of variable valence are concentrated in the acid fat of the soapstock from low-grade seeds. The soapstock contains a very small amount of tocopherols and phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylinositols. The combined gossypol pigments of the soapstocks include stabilized gossypol radical ions.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Kinetics of the β → δ solid-solid phase transition of HMX, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine

We apply differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure the kinetics of the β→δ solid-solid phase transition of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine, HMX. Integration of the DSC signal gives a direct measurement of degree of conversion. Data is analyzed by first-order kinetics, the Ozawa method, and isoconversional analysis. The range of activation energies found in this work, centering around 500 kJ/mol, is much higher than previously reported values by Brill and co-workers [AIAA J. (1982)], 204 kJ/mol [1], and Henson et al. and Henson and co-workers [B. Henson, L. Smilowitz, B. Asay, P.

Flavonoids of the cotton plant and plants close to it

This review gives information on the distribution of flavonoids (flavonol and anthocyanin glycosides, catechins, and proanthocyanidins in plants of the family Malvaceae, namely the various species of the genera Gossypium, Hibiscus, Altheae, etc. It is shown that the flavonols are represented by glycosides of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, herbacetin. gossypetin, and hibiscetin, the most widespread being glycosides of quercetin and kaempferol. Characteristic for the majority of representatives of the families that were studied are flavonols having a hydroxy group in the C-8 position. Anthocyanins are represented by glycosides of cyanidin and of delphinidin. However, together with these, glycosides of methoxylated anthocyanins have also been detected — peonidin, petinidin, and malvidin. Sources of a food dye have been revealed among representatives of the family. Literature sources up to 1991 have been included.A. S.

The Acid-Base Properties and Chemical Composition of the Surface of the InSb-ZnTe System

The acid-base properties and chemical composition of the surface of solid solutions and binary components of the InSb-ZnTe system were studied by the hydrolytic adsorption, nonaqueous conductometric titration, mechanochemistry, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry methods. The strength, nature, and concentration of acid centers were determined. Changes in the concentration of acid centers caused by surface exposure to CO and changes in the composition of the system were also studied. The mechanism of acid-base interactions was established. The chemical composition of the surface of system components exposed to air included adsorbed H₂O molecules, OH⁻ groups, hydrocarbon and oxocarbon compounds, and the products of surface atom oxidation. After thermal treatment in a vacuum, the composition of the surface approached the stoichiometric composition. Original Russian Text ? I.A. Kirovskaya, E.G. Shubenkova, O.T. Timoshenko, T.N.

Influence of encapsulation on the mechanism of thermal decomposition of hexacyanotransition metal complexes

It has been established that, in contrast to the pure substances, the thermal decomposition of hexacyanotransition metal complexes, encapsulated in the large cavities of faujasite, occurs by a hydrolytic mechanism. The composition of the gaseous products of the thermal decomposition depend on the characteristics of the localization of the cations in the inclusion compounds. L. V.
