WHAT DOES RACEMIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Racemization

In chemistry, racemization refers to the converting of an enantiomerically pure mixture into a mixture where more than one of the enantiomers are present. If the racemization results in a mixture where the enantiomers are present in equal quantities, the resulting sample is described as racemic or a racemate.

Definition of racemization in the English dictionary

The definition of racemization in the dictionary is the act or process of changing into a mixture of equal amounts of enantiomers and consequently having no optical activity.
