Hydantoin, or glycolylurea, is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula CH 2 C(O)NHC(O)NH.It is a colorless solid that arises from the reaction of glycolic acid and urea. It is an oxidized derivative of imidazolidine.In a more general sense, hydantoins can refer to a groups and a class of compounds with the same ring structure as the parent. For example, phenytoin (mentioned below) has two phenyl groups substituted onto the number 5 carbon in a hydantoin molecule.t is an oxidized derivative of imidazolidine.

The pH range of the mouth is 5.6-6.9 slightly acidic, and the average body temp is 37 deg C-this is the environment in which human amylase is most active.
The normal human stomach has a pH which can range from approximately 1-3 but is usually closer to 2. When there is food in the stomach the pH can raise to as high as 4-5. After the food leaves the stomach bicarbonate ions are secreted to neutralize and alkalinize the mixture. The pH of the small intestine is approximately 8. As far as how long food stays in your stomach it depends on what that food is.
