✦ Synopsis

The extremely red colors of some transneptunian objects and Centaurs are not seen among the Jupiter family comets which supposedly derive from them. Could this mismatch result from sublimation loss of colorless ice? Radiative transfer models show that mixtures of volatile ice and non-volatile organics could be extremely red, but become progressively darker and less red as the ice sublimates away.

Response of cottonseed oil products to the kreis test for rancidity : In the Kreis test a fat or oil is shaken with equal volumes of hydrochloric acid and a solution of phloroglucinol in ether. The development of a red color indicates that the fat or oil is rancid; its formation is probably due to the presence of aldehydes or ketones in the material tested. Chromogenetic substances, which give a positive Kreis reaction, occur in crude cottonseed oil. The researches of W. B. Smith (Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 1920, xii, 764–766)
