    Summary: This is a book about the science behind whisky: its production, its measurement, and its flavor. The main purpose of this book is to review the current state of whisky science in the open literature. The focus is principally on chemistry, which describes molecular structures and their interactions, and chemical engineering which is concerned with realizing chemical processes on an industrial scale. Biochemistry, the branch of chemistry concerned with living things, helps to understand the role of grains, yeast, bacteria, and oak. Thermodynamics, common to chemistry and chemical engineering, describes the energetics of transformation and the state that substances assume when in equilibrium. This book contains a taste of flavor chemistry and of sensory science, which connect the chemistry of a food or beverage to the flavor and pleasure experienced by a consumer. There is also a dusting of history, a social science.

    The incidence of cardiovascular risk factors was studied in 83 renal transplant recipients: 84.3% showed at least one cardiovascular risk factor, hyperuricaemia was found in 42.2%, hypertension in 39.7%, hypercholesterolaemia in 31.3%, hypertriglyceridaemia in 27.7%, diabetes mellitus in 19.3%, obesity in 14% and nicotine abuse in 13.2% of the patients. Patients aged from 30 to 39 and 40 to 49 showed a mean incidence of 2.7 and 2.9, respectively out of the 7 investigated cardiovascular risk factors. The results demonstrate that renal transplant patients are a high-risk group for the development of degenerative cardiovascular diseases.
