Methyl Ketones in Evaporated Milk

Heterotrophic Production of Methyl Ketones

Precursors of Methyl Ketones in Butter.

Eighteen-month follow-up of infants fed evaporated milk formula.

In parts of Canada including Newfoundland and Labrador and among Aboriginal peoples, infants still consume evaporated milk (EM) formulas for cultural and economic reasons. At 3 and 6 months, full-term infants fed EM (n = 30) received low intakes of iron, thiamine, selenium and had higher weight velocity than breastfed (BF, n = 29) infants. EM infants had greater anemia, lowered transketolase ac...

Fat Separation in Evaporated Milk II. Age-Thinning Of Concentrated, Sterilized Milk

Oxidation of Secondary Methyl Ethers to Ketones

We present a mild way of converting secondary methyl ethers into ketones using calcium hypochlorite in aqueous acetonitrile with acetic acid as activator. The reaction is compatible with various oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups and afforded the corresponding ketones in up to 98% yield. The use of this methodology could expand the application of the methyl group as a useful prot...
