PICHIA/GLYCERIN/METHYL ALCOHOL/AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE FERMENT EXTRACT FILTRATE

Substance information

Ingredient on the basis of glycerin (1,2,3-propanetriol). The methyl group is one of the simplest arrangements of atoms in organic chemistry which can be found as a moiety of numerous organic molecules. The name „methyl“ is derived from methane, the member of the alkane hydrocarbon group with the lowest molecular weight. The methane molecule contains four hydrogen atoms each one bound to a central carbon atom. The methyl group is not an independent chemical entity and contains only three hydrogen atoms, the fourth binding site is generally used for binding to a larger, mainly organic molecule. Like all alkanes, methyl groups exhibit a particularly low chemical reactivity. "Alcohol" refers generally to the alcohols R-OH derived from the corresponding hydrocarbons R-H. "Ammonium..." refers generally to an ammonium salt. "Ferment extract filtrate" refers to the filtrate of a solvent extract of a fermentation product (mostly vegetable starting material, converted with enzymes, (yeast-) fungi or bacteria).
