Chemical Information
FooDB Namehydrogen peroxide
DescriptionHydrogen peroxide, also known as oxydol or h2o2, is a member of the class of compounds known as homogeneous other non-metal compounds. Homogeneous other non-metal compounds are inorganic non-metallic compounds in which the largest atom belongs to the class of 'other nonmetals'. Hydrogen peroxide is a bitter tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as celeriac, oat, cowpea, and ginger, which makes hydrogen peroxide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hydrogen peroxide can be found primarily in blood. Hydrogen peroxide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, hydrogen peroxide is involved in several metabolic pathways, some of which include nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, thioguanine action pathway, beta-alanine metabolism, and caffeine metabolism. Hydrogen peroxide is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include hyperornithinemia with gyrate atrophy (HOGA), tyrosinemia type 2 (or richner-hanhart syndrome), gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase deficiency, and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRT). Moreover, hydrogen peroxide is found to be associated with coronary heart disease. Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2O 2. In its pure form, it is a pale blue, clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Hydrogen peroxide is the simplest peroxide (a compound with an oxygen–oxygen single bond). It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent and antiseptic. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or "high-test peroxide", is a reactive oxygen species and has been used as a propellant in rocketry. Its chemistry is dominated by the nature of its unstable peroxide bond .
