     Rule eleven –     do not be haughty          make way. How to remember the formulas of chromones?   Chromones are derivatives of 9,10–benzogamma–pyrone. The Latin letter “gamma” indicates that the carbonyl group is located opposite the heteroatom of oxygen (in the para position).       9,10–Benzogamma–pyrone (= Chromone)   Among simple chromones, 3-methylchromone…

SUNFLOWER SEEDS           Sunflower seeds are a very high-calorie product. They are characterized by a high content of many vitamins (especially biotin, alpha-tocopherol, and B vitamins), minerals, unsaturated fatty acids (especially polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids, in particular linoleic acid), phytosterols, and purine bases.      Sunflower seeds are extremely rich in…

WALNUT        Walnuts, like all nuts, are a very high-calorie product. Their seeds (nuts) are characterized by a fairly high content of a number of minerals, vitamins, proteins, unsaturated fatty acids (especially polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, in particular alpha-linolenic acid), as well as phytosterols.      Walnuts are rich in gamma-tocopherol (100 g…
