Fruit juice infused chocolate to reduce fat consumption | Chemistry World

Fruit juice infused chocolate to reduce fat consumption | Chemistry World - Fruit juice has been used by scientists in the UK to replace up to half of the fat content from cocoa butter and milk fats in milk and white chocolate. Stefan Bon and his colleagues at the University of Warwick made a water-in-oil emulsion to replace the fat by adding fruit juices, water with added vitamin C or flat coke to chocolate formulations.(10.1039/c2jm34233b)

Glass offers improved means of storing UK’s nuclear waste

Glass offers improved means of storing UK's nuclear waste - University of Sheffield researchers have shown, for the first time, that a method of storing nuclear waste normally used only for high level waste, could provide a safer, more efficient, and potentially cheaper, solution for the storage and ultimate disposal of intermediate level waste.(10.1016/j.jnucmat.2012.04.007)

Fluoroborates without the etch Soxhlet

Fluoroborates without the etch Soxhlet - A simple, practical method for making popular trifluoroborate reagents without etching glassware or tedious purification procedures has been developed by chemists in the UK. The method should make trifluoroborates more readily available, especially those containing more delicate functionality.(10.1002/anie.201203930)
