Straight Chain

Examples of straight-chain molecules are methane, ethane, propane, and butane (gases containing from one to four carbon atoms), and pentane and hexane (liquids with five to six carbon atoms). ❋ Unknown (2007)

The lighter, straight-chain paraffin molecules are found in gases and paraffin waxes. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Fats composed of straight-chain saturated fatty acids fall into an ordered solid structure— the process has been described as “zippering”—more readily than do kinked unsaturated fats. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

The initial firming of the freshly baked bread loaf, which improves its ability to be sliced, is caused by the retrogradation of the simple straight-chain amylose molecules, and is essentially complete within a day of baking. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

The firmest noodles are made from starches high in the straight-chain amylose form p. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)

The esters are composed almost entirely of straight-chain acids and alcohols. ❋ Unknown (1985)

Its chemical structure is that of a long straight-chain ester, whereas the others are triglycerides - branched esters based on the molecule glycerol. ❋ Unknown (1985)

By the same procedure, but with acetylene mixed with a certain proportion of hydrogen, an intermediate product, consisting of both straight-chain and cycle hydrocarbons, resembling Rumanian petroleum, is obtained. ❋ Unknown (1966)

Jojoba oil has a negative carbon footprint due to its chemical structure (40 carbon straight-chain wax ester) and extremely low rate of degradation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Ethanol is a straight-chain [[alcohol]], and its [[chemical formula]] is C ❋ Unknown (2008)
