A Study Of Phytosterol Obtained From Cocoa Beans And Cocoa Butter, Norman Anthony Pokorny Jan 1925

A Study Of Phytosterol Obtained From Cocoa Beans And Cocoa Butter, Norman Anthony Pokorny

Bachelors’ Theses

Despite the fact that considerable work has been done on cholesterol, relatively little is known about its isomer, phytosterol. Both cholesterol and phytosterol belong to the general group of sterols. Cholesterol is described as an aromatic sterol, a mono~atomic secondary alcohol, containing an iso-propyl and a vinyl group, with a terpene-like structure. Cholesterol was first discovered by Conradi in 1775, then by Gren (1788) in biliary calculi. In 1785 Fourcroy isolated cholesterol from gall-stones, one variety of which is composed almost wholly of it, but it was confused with adipocere, until Chevreul (1814) discovered its true nature, when he declared …

The Water Supply Of The City Of Milwaukee With Experimental Data, William K. Stumpf

Bachelors’ Theses

All mankind, whether the wandering savage, the isolated pioneer, or the dweller in the congested city, requires a constant supply of water for his needs. This fact is attested to in all the civilizations of the past, and if we go back to biblical times, or to the days of ancient Greece and Rome, we read of the famous wells and aqueducts, from which the inhabitants derived their supplies.


The Systhesis Of Camphor From Pinene, Edwin W. Newbury Jan 1900

The Systhesis Of Camphor From Pinene, Edwin W. Newbury

Bachelors’ Theses

The increasing demand for camphor for use in the manufacture of cellulose plastics has led to a great amount of investigation of the nature of this valuable substance and as to its synthesis from materials which are readily obtainable without the necessity for sending overseas for them. At present most of the camphor used in the manufacture of celluloid and allied compounds is imported from Japan or Borneo, where it is obtained, in a rather crude and wasteful fashion, from a species of laurel. Some scientifically operated camphor plantations have been started in the United States.. In one such plantation …
