What is a Acrylamide (C₃H₅NO)?

Acrylamide (C₃H₅NO) is a colorless crystalline solid or liquid with a strong pungent odor. It is primarily used in the polymerization process and the production of adhesives, as well as in chemical experiments and analysis. crylamide is an essential raw material for the production of acrylic acid-based polymers, which are widely used in industries such as water treatment, paper manufacturing, mineral processing, and in the production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Acrylamide is also used in the manufacture of electrical insulators and paints.

However, acrylamide is known to be a potentially carcinogenic substance. It can be generated in foods, especially when they are cooked at high temperatures (such as frying or baking). To reduce acrylamide formation, techniques have been developed in the food industry to minimize its occurrence.

When handling acrylamide, it is recommended to use proper ventilation and protective equipment, and ensure safe disposal after use.
