"Sulphured" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Treated with sulphur, especially to preserve and stabilize fruits, particularly apples and potatoes, or to prevent inks from drying too quickly.
Sulforaphane is a compound that is produced when glucoraphanin, a glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, is broken down. It has been studied for its potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of certain cancers and improving cardiovascular health. Sulforaphane has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and has also been found to have potential anti-cancer properties, particularly in the prevention of breast, colon, and prostate cancers.
A sulphosalt is a type of chemical compound that contains a sulphur atom bonded to a metal atom (such as a salt form of an element like calcium or sodium) and a halogen or pseudohalogen atom (such as chlorine or iodine).
A yellow, brittle, nonmetallic element (chemical symbol S). Sulphur appears as yellow, gritty crystals or powder (native) or as a bluish-gray, brittle solid (allotrope, monoclinic form). It is a key component of gunpowder (with potassium nitrate or saltpeter).
Sulphurate is a variant of sulfite or sulphite. It refers to a salt or ester containing the sulfite functional group (-SO3-).<br><br>More specifically:<br><br>1. Sulphurate can be a salt of sulfurous acid (H2SO3), often used as a preservative or in photographic developing agents.<br>2. In inorganic chemistry, sulphuratation is the process of introducing a sulfite group (SO32-) into a compound.<br><br>The term "sulphurate" is occasionally employed in various contexts, although it is less common in modern usage compared to its variants "sulfate" or "sulfite."
Sulphuretted refers to something that contains or is characterized by sulfur, often with a pronounced or unpleasant odor, similar to the smell of hydrogen sulfide. This word is not as commonly used in modern English as it once was, but it's still found in some contexts, particularly in chemistry and old-fashioned writing.<br><br>It can be a synonym of "sulfuric" or "sulfurous", but with a more archaic or literary tone.
