The exposure of materials to these can therefore accelerate degradation reactions.

Usually its degradation reactions, being very slow, are neglected.

In organic chemistry, the Krafft degradation reaction is named after him.

This results in chain breaking, carboxylic acid formation, and a host of other degradation reaction products.

Polyesters are also susceptible to similar polymer degradation reactions.

Destruction results from irreversible hydrolysis of the ester bond, with additional degradation reactions following.

The two major direct methods of protein sequencing are mass spectrometry and the Edman degradation reaction.

The structure of psoralen was originally deduced by identifying the products of its degradation reactions.

The degradation reaction is the reverse of the synthesis reaction of the polymer:

The polymer degradation reaction produces aldehydes and ketones, which are the further oxidised to carboxylic acids.

They slow down the photochemically initiated degradation reactions, to some extent in a similar way to antioxidants (visit the Antioxidants Center).

When oils or fats are heated in a pan, multiple degradation reactions occur, including: autoxidation, thermal oxidation, polymerization, cyclization and fission.

All these degradation reactions limit the polymer backbone chemistries and the cations that can be incorporated for developing AEM.

The main heat related degradation reaction of the β-cryptoxanthin pigment found in cashew apple fruit juice is isomerization of trans to cis-configuration.

Piperidine is also commonly used in chemical degradation reactions, such as the sequencing of DNA in the cleavage of particular modified nucleotides.

An important class of minor compounds, recently investigated, is that known as melanoidins, an heterogeneous mixture of polymers arising from sugar degradation reactions activated during cooking of the grape must.

It dissolved in the fuel cells of a ship or lifeboat and produced electricity by a complicated displacement degradation reaction which yielded energy and ultimately a waxy substance that floated on fuel cell surfaces.
