Stomach or compound racemose resembling the duodenal Brunner's glands The "fundic glands", are found in the fundus and body of the stomach. They are simple almost straight tubes, two or more of which open into a single duct. They secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor. The "pyloric glands" are located in the antrum of the pylorus. They secrete gastrin produced by their G cells. About 20,000 protein coding genes are expressed in human cells and nearly 70% of these genes are expressed in the normal stomach. Just over 150 of these genes are more specifically expressed in the stomach compared
2-Furoic acid 88% from 2-furanaldehyde. Oxidation with "N. corallina" is unique because most other microorganisms produce two products from the oxidation, the acid and the alcohol. Furthermore, aromatic ring destruction does not occur. In industrial use, 2-furoic acid is a preservative, acting as a bactericide and fungicide. It is also considered an acceptable flavoring ingredient and achieved a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status in 1995 by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA). 2-Furoic acid is characterized as a white to off-white crystalline solid and has a distinct odor described in the Encyclopedia of Food and Color Additives as sweet, oily,
