Answer to Poll: RIGHT structure is the proper structure for "1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-yl palmitate"

The naming of molecules can be rather confusing. This can be made even worse due to the fact that a 2-d image of these structures require a bit of perspective. Note that the more wordy name for these two molecules make mention of either "1,3-dihydroxy" or "2,3-dihydroxy". This part of the naming tells us where the hydroxyl (-OH) groups are on the molecule. In this case, the former has -OH groups on the 1st and 3rd carbons, whereas the latter molecule has it on the 2nd and 3rd carbons.

The palmitate tells us the structure for the fatty tail (in this case being derived from palmitic acid). You'll notice that it has an -ate ending. -ate endings are seen with acids, with the anionic form of carboxylic acid being named "carboxylate". This just tells us that the functional group is either an acid or ester- in this case palmitate is bound to the glycerol backbone by why of an ester bond.

The critical phrase here is the "propan-2-yl" as this tells us that the original structure has 3 carbons (i.e. the "propane"- note that glycerol is not used in the naming here) with the "2-yl" describing where the ester is on the molecule. Altogether, this tells us that the palmitate should exist on the 2nd carbon of this molecule, with the 1st and 3rd carbons having -OH groups.

THE MOLECULE ON THE RIGHT shows this orientation. Note that more common names for these molecules, which are used in the addition studies provided with respect to diseased states, use a naming method that details where the palmitate is. For instance, the common name "1-Monopalmitin" tells us that the palmitate exists on the 1st carbon, and there's only one of them. It's a much easier method of naming, and is the name that should be used when looking up information on this monoglyceride in particular as more complex names may come up empty.

Also, for those curious there is no "1,2-dihydroxypropyl palmitate", because this molecule would look the same as "2,3-dihydroxypropyl palmitate". This is due to the fact that the glycerol backbone lacks chirality, and so the structure of a hypothetical "1,2" molecule would end up being organized the same as "2,3".

"In that regard, the actual rate of decay for these produce will be unknown, especially given the fact that evolutionary visual cues used to determine a produce’s freshness will no longer be an effective method.":

This has been my principal concern since learning about Apeel. "Looks fresh" is not the same as "fresh". I just pulled a couple of garlic bulbs out of the pot where they had been growing, in the back yard. That is "fresh"!

Very well done - thanks for showing us how to dig deeper (biochem wasn’t my forte). On a funny note Apeel reminds me of this (only for fruit rather than cereal) - and maybe you’ll appreciate the Christmas movie reference: https://youtu.be/5DdqIaOhpJg

Fantastic explanation.

Thank you.

Thank you! you saved me hrs. I do wonder though -- how do they possibly get enough grape seeds to make enough to coat all these products? I'm very suspicious of that - could they be using just a wee bit of grape seeds and the rest.... ?

What you don't know: they also said that mRNA vaccines didn't have DNA and now it's proven they even have DNA rings, which means bio-engineering our genome!

Who's behind Apeel? Bill Gates, who's obsessed with reducing the population no mater how many he should murder:

Gates-WHO: vaccines can’t reduce population, except by murdering

Proof: they were never for reducing mortality, only for murdering!

Wake up!

There's a plan to murder 95% of the global population.

Start taking some redpills and doing your own homework by searching the following in duckduckgo.com or presearch.com:

- Both Churchill and Roosevelt were masons and plotted to get the reluctant USA into the war by provoking the Japs and letting Pearl Harbor (all fleet defenseless in there, no radar warning from outer islands)

- 9/11: 2 "planes", yet all 7 World Trade Center towers destroyed, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center, and the owner with his 2 grown up siblings failed to show up for work (never skipped work before)...

- J6: The fake riot was mason-planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!!

https://scientificprogress.substack.com/p/j6-what-you-need-to-know

It's such a mason manual that they organized the same play in Brazil when it was proven that the voting machines owned by mason Soros, were rigged:

- At least since the 90s, vaccines were weaponized to reduce the population, for example:

1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries

2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)

- COVID was designed as a primer for lethal COVID haccines:
