31. Conventional rockets must carry both fuel and an oxidant . 32. More aggressive oxidants convert cysteine to the corresponding sulfinic acid and sulfonic acid. 33. Nitrogen dioxide is formed in most combustion processes using air as the oxidant . 34. Potassium permanganate ( KMnO 4 ) is most commonly used as the oxidant . 35. It is a strong anti-oxidant and astringent. 36. For the best quality, tannins and anthocyanins ( anti-oxidants ). 37. The greater reactivity of chlorate is typical perchlorates are kinetically poorer oxidants . 38. In contrast, some related oxidants such as chromate are considered environmentally hazardous. 39. Ratios vary depending upon formation pressure, depth of coal and oxidant balance. 40. This nuclear gene encodes a oxidant -induced apoptosis.
