gluttonousness

[Eng. gluttonous; -ne .] The quality or state of being gluttonous; gluttony; insatiable rapacity. ( Lit. & fig.) "Penny-a-lining gluttonousne is doing a great deal of harm."-London Echo . *glut-ton-ry, *glu-ten-er-ie, s. [Eng. glut ton ; -ry.] Gluttony. glut-ton-ỹ, *glot-on-ie, *glot-on-y, *glot glout on nie : Fr. glutonnie .] Exce in eating or on-ye, *glot-en-y, *glot-un-ye, s. [O. Fr. glotonie , drinking; exce ive or extravagant indulgence of the appetite for food; voracity; gormandizing. "Their sumptuous gluttonies and gorgeous feasts." Milton: P. R., iv. 114. glu-ỹ, a. [GLUEY.] by the action of concentrated hydriodic acid it yields beta iodopropionic acid. By the action of PC15 it is converted into dichloropropionyl chloride, CH2CI CHCI-CO-CI. Glyceric-acid yields crystalline salts called glycerates. Glyceric-acid heated to 105° for ten hours yields an anhydride which crystallizes out of water in thin needles, which are insoluble in cold alcohol. They decompose at 250° without melting. glýç-er-ide, s. [Eng., ., glycer ( in ); -ide.] Chem.: A name given to ethers of the triatomic alcohol glycerol, C3H5(OH)3. They have generally the termination -in. One, two, or three hydroxyls (OH) can be replaced by acid radicals. Thus acetic acid forms with glycerin ethers called acetins. One molecule of acetic acid + one molecule of glycerol yields mono-acetin+H2O. Two molecules of lacetic acid and one molecule of glycerol yield di-acetin + 2H2O, and three molecules of acetic acid and one molecule of glycerol yield tri-acetin+3H2O. Glycer ides occur in the fat of animals as tri-stearin. C3H5(O.C8H350)3, and in vegetable fixed oils, as tri-olein, C3H5 (OC18H330)3, . Glycerides are insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and more soluble in ether. Glycerides are saponified by heating them with alkalies, with calcium oxide, or lead oxide, yielding glycerin and salts of the respective acids. [FATS, OILS.] Glycerides are also decomposed into their acids and glycerin by distillation in a current of steam, the temperature being kept between 550° and 600° F. Mixed ethers of glycerin and alcoholic radicals are obtained by heating mono and di-chlorhydrine with sodium alcohol ates.
