    Celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the publication of Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
    The RSC Food Group has produced a Food Related Periodic Table, highlighting the function of selected elements in food chemistry, to celebrate this important milestone. It highlights element occurrences and roles in food and the body and offers an engaging tool for Outreach and educational activities.  See below for this month’s elements and follow the link on our rscfood webpage Food Related Periodic Table for more.

    August elements and their role in food are aluminium and helium
