Introduction Food chemistry refers to all the chemical processes occurring in food. It majorly focuses on the composition and functional properties of foods and food products during various stages. Though food serves essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, lipids, and minerals. It should be made sure to have food with the necessary nutrients. Food is produced from sources like plants or animals. This food provides abundant energy to the body due to its biological action. For example, sugar, a simple form of carbohydrates, is broken down by the body during respiration, it converts into the form of energy. ... Read More

Introduction Drugs are chemical compounds that are used to treat various ailments. The classification of drugs is the way to organise medicines into different categories based on their use, structure, and mechanism of action. Despite the chemical similarities these are classified based on their impact on the body. Some drugs are sold without a prescription and some only after a prescription. The drugs are classified on two main bases pharmacologically and therapeutically. The pharmacological classification is based on chemical similarities and has the same effect on the treatment of diseases. Examples are alcohol, opioids, cannabinoids, barbiturates, etc. The ...

Introduction Chemical preservation ensures that the food will be fresh and edible longer. Food preservation can be a challenging task, especially under different environmental circumstances. Chemical components commonly preserve foods by slowing decomposition and preventing microbial growth in stored foods. Chemical preservation involves using different chemical components capable of physically maintaining the stored foods under different climatic circumstances. Figure1 − Structure of Benzoic acid, a commonly used food preservative What is food preservation with chemicals? Food preservation with the help of different chemical compounds is a process widely accepted by the food industry. It restricts the spoilage of organisms ... Read More

Introduction Whenever a patient takes several drugs at once for one or more diseases, drug interactions could arise. Drug interactions can cause unanticipated reactions, adverse side effects, or in rare cases, a lack of therapeutic efficacy when used concurrently with other medications. Drug-drug interactions are the term used to describe these unwanted effects (DDIs). Drug manufacturers must comprehend how pharmaceuticals interact with each other since the global polypharmacy problem (people taking numerous medications at once) keeps growing. To determine if a DDI might occur and whether it might be serious enough to call for a dosage modification, precaution, or contraindication, ... Read More
