List of Anti-Oxidants and their usage and properties.

Vitamin C - Vitamin C or Ascorbic acids are found in naturally occurring foods and are prominent in citrus fruits and green leafy
vegetables, altough they are syntheitically consumed as dietry supplements. a six-carbon lactone that is synthesized from glucose
in the
liver of most mammalian species, but not by human . All known physiological and biochemical actions of vitamin C are due to its
action as a reducing agent that is an electron donor. Ascorbic acid donates two electrons from a double bond between the second
and third carbons of the 6-carbon molecule. Vitamin C by donating its electrons, it prevents other compounds from being
oxidized. However, by the very nature of this reaction, vitamin C itself is oxidized in the process. This prevents many highly
unstable and reactive oxygen species from oxidizing nucleic acids . The chemical reaction is RO• + C6H7O−6 →
ROH + C6H6O6-•. The oxidized forms of ascorbic acids are relatively unreactive, and do not cause cellular
damage. They can be converted back to ascorbate by cellular enzymes.

Glutathione- This substance is found upon the creation of it

addition polymerization - polymerization
technique where unsaturated monomer molecules add
on to a growing polymer chain one at a time . monomers are linked together without the
splitting off of water or other simple molecules.

adiabatic - An adjective used to describe a process or transformation in which no heat is added
to or allowed to escape from the system under consideration

absolute Viscosity- Of a fluid, the tangential force on unit area of either of two parallel planes at unit distance apart when the space between the planes is
filled with the fluid in question and one of the planes moves with unit differential velocity in its own plane. The C.G.S unit for absolute (or dynamic)
viscosity is the poise (dyne-sec./sq.cm.). The centipoise (0.01 poise is often used.
