What's the difference between adipocere and adipocire?

Adipocere


Definition:

  • (n.) A soft, unctuous, or waxy substance, of a light brown color, into which the fat and muscle tissue of dead bodies sometimes are converted, by long immersion in water or by burial in moist places. It is a result of fatty degeneration.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Two homologs of 9-chloro-10-methoxy(9-methoxy-10-chloro) fatty acids were found in adipocere from the human neonate, and identified as 9-chloro-10-methoxy(9-methoxy-10-chloro)hexadecanoic acid and 9-chloro-10-methoxy(9-methoxy-10-chloro)-octadecanoic acid.
  • (2) 78.5 degrees -79.0 degrees C, was optically inactive and the adipocere contained about 3 to 20% hydroxy fatty acid of the total fatty acids.
  • (3) The adipocere contained approximately 7.2% 9-chloro-10-methoxy(9-methoxy-10-chloro) fatty acids in the total fatty acids.
  • (4) The melting point of the hydroxy fatty acid was nearly identical with that of the 10-D, L-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid synthesized organically, suggesting that the hydroxy fatty acid in the adipocere appears to be converted non-enzymatically.
  • (5) The adipocere contained about 1.3 to 1.6% oxo fatty acid of total fatty acids.
  • (6) The process of saponification, whereby after death the body's tissue turns to a soap-like substance called adipocere, also called grave-wax, has been slowed.
  • (7) A proposed mechanism for formation of adipocere is described.
  • (8) The relationship of adipocere formation to the postmortem interval and the problems of injury interpretation are discussed.
  • (9) In the adipocere two hydroxy fatty acid components were detected by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).
  • (10) Two kinds of oxo fatty acids were found to be present in the adipocere.
  • (11) These hydroxy fatty acids found in the adipocere appear to play an important role on the formation of adipocere.
  • (12) Some varieties of aerobic or anaerobic microorganisms from the human stool and adipocere were separated and identified.
  • (13) Immersion occurred at the time of the year when water temperature was highest (70 degrees F [21 degrees C]) facilitating the rapid formation of adipocere.
  • (14) Extensive adipocere formation resulted in remarkable preservation of gross anatomic features of internal organs.
  • (15) It is suggested that some ancient CaCO(3) concretions, especially those enclosing fossils of soft-bodied organisms, may have formed rapidly after death in the form of natural Ca soap (adipocere) which was later converted to CaCO(3).
  • (16) Aerobic bacteria as well as anaerobic microorganisms were found to be involved in the formation of adipocere.
  • (17) The analyses of bone marrow and body tissue (adipocere) from a severely decomposed body for the presence of paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene (Distalgesic) are described, and the levels of drugs found are presented.
  • (18) It is suggested that the autopsy should be supplemented by chemical analysis in order to describe the state of adipocere correctly.
  • (19) The hydroxy fatty acid purified from the adipocere, m.p.
  • (20) Microbial synthesis of hydroxy and oxo fatty acids was studied as one of the model of experimental adipocere formation.
