Infographic on mulled wine, showing the chemical structures of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde. Mulled wine is a seasonal drink made with wine, lemons and oranges, and a range of spices. The spices used include cinnamon, the major flavour component of which is cinnamaldehyde, and cloves, the major flavour component of which is eugenol. Other spices including nutmeg, allspice, and star anise can also be used.

Day 7 of #ChemAdvent24 and it's the perfect afternoon for curling up inside with a warm mug of mulled wine.

Here's a look at two of the key flavour compounds from the spices that flavour it!

Infographic showing the different structures of the anthocyanin compounds in poinsettia plants at different pH values.

Day 2 of #ChemAdvent24 looks at how a colour-changing indicator can be made from festive poinsettia leaves.

This is possible because they contain anthocyanins, which undergo structural changes in acidic and alkaline solutions.

Really interesting new study on worked examples which underlines just how easy it is to get things wrong and end up in lethal mutation territory 🧵

HELP! #chemChat I have a really bright A Level Chemistry student who is Polish, they are finding the language of #chemistry challenging. Any recommendations for support please? We have used a Polish-English, but the tier 3 subject specific terminology doesn’t quite translate.
