TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules ( 1 gigacalorie ), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

High-fructose corn syrup ( HFCS ), also known as glucose–fructose, isoglucose and glucose–fructose syrup, [1] [2] is a sweetener made from corn starch. As in the production of conventional corn syrup, the starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes. To make HFCS, the corn syrup is further processed by D-xylose isomerase to convert some of ...
