Importance of the Laws of Thermodynamics in the Field of Chemical Sciences
Abstract: The Laws of Thermodynamics are important because they control interactions of everything in the universe - regardless of scale. These rules stretch across every form of science known to humankind. Classical physics is, from a certain perspective, entirely based on Newton's Laws of motion. The first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. The second law …

Thermodynamic Techniques in Food Chemistry – A Review
Abstract: The thermal activities of food strongly depend on its composition. The aims of food processing are to inactivate spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms and to sustain this condition in storage. Using calorimetric techniques, many physicochemical effects can be detected in the temperature range between -50°C and 300°C. Biophysical techniques viz., isothermal titration (ITC) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) are used to characterize the structure and properties of food materials before and …
