The enhancement of the tinctorial strength of caustic caramel was successfuly attempted by means of magnesium oxide applied in a catalytic amount. Also other catalysts were tested. Other changes occuring on the improving procedure were checked. Some enhancement of the tinctorial strength could be achieved by passing caramel through columns packed with anion exchangers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
