  2. Vipeholm experiments - Wikipedia

    The sugar experiment lasted until 1949 when the trials were revised again, now to test a more "normal" carbohydrate-rich diet. By then, the teeth of about fifty of the 660 subjects in the experiment had been completely damaged. [8] Nonetheless, the researchers felt that, scientifically speaking, the experiment was a success.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_snake

    A column of porous black graphite formed during the experiment. Carbon snake experiment. The carbon snake is a demonstration of the dehydration reaction of sugar by concentrated sulfuric acid. With concentrated sulfuric acid, granulated table sugar performs a degradation reaction which changes its form to a black solid-liquid mixture. [1]

  4. Triboluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

    In the late 1790s, sugar production began to produce more refined sugar crystals. These crystals were formed into a large solid cone for transport and sale. This solid sugar cone had to be broken into usable chunks using a sugar nips device. People began to notice that tiny bursts of light were visible as sugar was "nipped" in low light, an ...

    Brown sugar comes either from the late stages of cane sugar refining, when sugar forms fine crystals with significant molasses content, or from coating white refined sugar with a cane molasses syrup (blackstrap molasses). Brown sugar's color and taste become stronger with increasing molasses content, as do its moisture-retaining properties.

  6. Blue bottle experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_bottle_experiment

    The chemical reactions and mechanism in the blue bottle experiment rely on the oxidation of a sugar with the aid of air and a redox dye in a basic solution. Other variations of this reaction have been reported that use four families of redox dyes: thiazines , oxazines , azines , and indigo carmine have all been reported to work with glucose and ...

    Hospitals with limited technical accessibility can exploit this diagnostic tool since it requires resources that may be easily attainable. In order to perform the experiment, a patient's skin is first dried with 70% alcohol; with the iodine solution added, subsequently.

  8. Rock candy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_candy

    Rock candy or sugar candy, [1] also called rock sugar, or crystal sugar, is a type of confection composed of relatively large sugar crystals. In some parts of the world, local variations are called Misri , nabat [ 2 ] or navat .

  9. MacConkey agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacConkey_agar

    Lactose fermenters turn red or pink on MacConkey agar, and nonfermenters do not change color. The media inhibits growth of gram-positive organisms with crystal violet and bile salts, allowing for the selection and isolation of gram-negative bacteria. The media detects lactose fermentation by enteric bacteria with the pH indicator neutral red. [2]
