acrolein

A 2011 study concluded a health risk from acrolein in food is unlikely.

The "acrolein test" is for the presence of glycerin or fats.

He is credited with the discoveries of acrolein and acrylic acid.

A number of useful compounds are made from acrolein, exploiting its bifunctionality.

It is the presence of the acrolein that causes the smoke to be extremely irritating to the eyes and throat.

The smoke, which contains acrolein, is an eye irritant and asphixiant.

Connections exist between acrolein gas in the smoke from tobacco cigarettes and the risk of lung cancer.

As such, the molecule can be viewed as a derivative of acrolein.

Although acrolein occurs in French fries, the levels are only a few micrograms per kilogram.

The glycerol is then further broken down to acrolein which is a component of the smoke.

Additionally, all acrylic acid is produced via the transient formation of acrolein.

The main metabolic pathway for acrolein is the alkylation of glutathione.

A small proportion of aldophosphamide is converted into phosphoramide mustard and acrolein.

The reaction of it with acrolein is the first step in the commercial synthesis of glutaraldehyde.

When glycerol (also called glycerin) is heated to 280 C, it decomposes into acrolein.

Alternatively, propylene can be oxidized to acrolein, which upon hydrogenation gives the alcohol.

First, acrolein is formed in a Knoevenagel condensation from the acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.

Acrolein condenses with acetaldehyde and amines to give methyl pyridines.

Propane represents a promising but challenging feedstock for the synthesis of acrolein (and acrylic acid).

These two anticancer agents, in vivo, may be converted to urotoxic metabolites, such as acrolein.

Dehydration of glycerol gives acrolein which condenses with the amine followed by a cyclization.

Major pollutants reported by the study included acrolein, manganese compounds, sulfuric acid, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde.

The original industrial route to acrolein, developed by Degussa, involves condensation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

A sample is heated with potassium bisulfate, and acrolein is released if the test is positive.

Overheated cooking oils emit acrolein and formaldehyde.
