Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which water reacts with another substance to split it into two or more new substances. Examples include the conversion of starch to glucose in water under the action of a suitable catalyst; conversion of sucrose to...

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which water reacts with another compound to split it apart. Appropriately, this process takes its name from the Greek expression meaning "breaking up with water." Hydrolysis occurs because water forms negative and...

A chemical reaction in which a compound undergoes chemical change in the presence of water to produce other compounds, such as the change in a salt to form an acid and a...

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction or process in which a chemical compound is broken down by reaction with water.[1][2] This is the type of reaction that is used to break down polymers. Water is added in this reaction. In organic chemistry, hydrolysis...

Despite the poor reputation of cyanide, in part due to its infamy gained in the "B" movies of decades ago, it really is a very useful industrial chemical. It is used in countless industries. Pharmaceutical enterprises use it to make drugs. Household cleaners...

Flavourzyme is an enzyme used to produce protein hydrolysates. Protein hydrolysates are used to add flavor to sauces, soups and seasoning blends. Flavourzyme is capable of producing sodium-free hydrolysates without the usual waste disposal factors associated with acid hydrolysis. It gives a higher degree...
