Synopsis
The chemistry of plants—how they make sugars, oils, and minerals—unfolds the living world. This book explains how these building blocks shape growth, health, and the colors of life.
Delving into the composition of plants, it surveys how saccharine matter forms and transforms, how albumen and gluten differ, and how extractive and coloring matters arise. It also explains oils, waxes, and volatile oils, and discusses how alkalies, earths, and metals appear in plant matter, along with the ideas scientists have proposed about their origins and roles.
- How sugars form, respond to light and processing, and underpin sweetness in plants.
- Protein and starch components like albumen and gluten, and their ties to nutrition and structure.
- Oils, waxes, resins, and the distinctive volatile oils found in seeds and fruits.
- Minerals and metals in plant ashes, and theories on where these elements come from.
Ideal for readers curious about the science behind plant foods, textures, and the chemistry of life in the plant world.
