The only proven health risk of diacetyl is its inhalation over time. If you simply MUST have your butter flavoured microwave popcorn, then be sure to avoid inhaling the fumes, especially when it is fresh and steaming. Make freshly popped popcorn and add your own butter instead to completely avoid the risk. There is very little evidence that eating diacetyl is a health concern. Further research is required to be sure. The simplest way to avoid diacetyl exposure is to avoid processed foods that contain artificial butter flavouring, and fermented alcoholic beverages like beer and wine that have not been fully fermented to remove excess diacetyl.

The buttery smell in your steak could be attributed to the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction that occurs when proteins and sugars are heated together. This reaction produces a range of flavorful compounds, including diacetyl, which is a compound found in butter and responsible for its characteristic aroma. The presence of diacetyl in your steak could be due to the specific cooking method used, the type of beef, or even the aging process.

Popcorn has a natural freshness of 3-to-5 years and needs no preservatives in its unpopped kernal form. However, that doesn't stop the large distributors from extending shelflife by adding tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) to unpopped popcorn.

Another unhealthy additive found in some microwave varieties is diacetyl. Both TBHQ and diacetyl are dangerous to humans and pets.

Nitrogen is what is generally used to fill the bags of pre-popped popcorn instead of normal "air" which contains oxygen. Oxygen causes the popped popcorn to go stale. Unlike TBHQ and diacetyl, nitrogen is not harmful--it makes up most of the "air" you breathe!

Truly healthy popcorn has no preservatives. Back in the good ol' days of the Cold War, preservatives were touted as the God-sent solution to how we were going to keep our food supplies from rotting in our bomb shelters as we waited for the half-life of nuclear radiation to wear off.

If you are looking for preservative free food, you should not have difficulty finding it on your grocer's shelves. Stay away from the big brands that sell nationwide and select a local grower's product. The larger the distributor's market, the longer their food stays in warehouses or gets shipped back-and-forth across the US. If you see preservatives in food, its probably a good sign that the food has been sitting for YEARS!

Biocetyl C4H6O2 is likely a straight-chain ester molecule derived from butyric acid, with a ketone functional group. Its structure may resemble butyl acetate, with the formula CH3(CH2)2COOCH3. This configuration is consistent with its butter-like aroma, as esters are commonly associated with fruity or sweet smells.

Yes indeed it is. Heroin [diacetyl morphine] is a partially synthetic opiate compound produced when acetyl molecules are are bonded to morphine [morphine sulfate] molecules. Morphine is a naturally occurring opiate produced by and from the poppy plant. In fact the body changes heroin into morphine. The purpose of bonding acetyl molecules to morphine is that it allows the new compound, heroin, to enter the brain 300% faster than morphine alone; That in turn makes heroin three times (3X) more potent than standard morphine on a molecule to molecule basis. All opiates are depressants and Heroin is the most frequently used illegal depressant.
No, it's a narcotic.

In terms of recreational use, there is no best kind of heroin. Obviously the purest stuff would be more suitable than adulterated heroin. "Black tar" heroin uses a less precise manufacturing method than pharmaceutical grade diacetyl morphine, and should be the least preferred. But addicts use that form of it because it is cheapest and the easiest to obtain.

Heroin is classified as an illegal opioid drug. It belongs to the category of narcotics, which are substances that affect mood or behavior and are used to manage pain. Heroin is a highly addictive drug with severe health risks.

2 answers


Yes; heroin belongs to class of drugs called opiates. In fact, its chemical name is diacetyl-morphine. Heroin provides higher pain-relief than morphine, although less than that of intravenously injected fentanyl (which is a stronger opiate, or synthetic opiate to be more specific, but it is usually only used for injection during surgery to induce anesthesia and for post-operative pain while the patient is still hospitalized).

Heroin is a morphine-derivative, and therefore provides the same relief and acts in the exact same area of the brain (acting as a mu-opioid receptor agonist); albeit being more potent than morphine itself since it penetrates the brain more quickly. Heroin's analgesic effects are identical to high-potency opiates, semi-synthetic opiates, & opioids (it is most similar in its duration of action and potency to fentanyl and hydromorphone). Its adverse effects are mainly due to the additives found in heroin due its unregulated sale on the black-market--potentially causing stroke, heart attack, infection, and/or liver-damage when injected. Additionally, the lifestyle of black-market, illicit drug users also may attribute to some of the indirect adverse effects associated with heroin use.

Heroin is still legal for use in pain relief in a few countries. Although due to increased abuse (due to its "rush" effect when injected), heroin was perceived as being of higher abuse potential than other opiates; even though new opiates, especially fentanyl, have higher euphoric and analgesic potency than heroin.

Heroin is the diacetyl salt of morphine C17H17NO or (C3H302)2. It is white, odorless and highly addictive. heroin is an illegal substance in the US, Europe and many other countries. Owning, selling, or producing heroin in any form is against the law. The information supplied below is intended to provide a scientific understanding of the biochemical changes involved in transforming opium to heroine.

Heroine is made in several different ways but they all come back to a single base- Morphine. Morphine comes from Opium, the resinous substance found inside the fruit of the opium poppy. Once the opium is harvested, its three main alkaloids (alkaloids are basically a biochemical found in plants) are separated into:

  1. Morphine
  2. Codeine
  3. Thebaine.

Morphine and Codeine are the only two alkaloids which can be converted into Heroin. Thebaine is the base for bupenephrine which is a very strong narcotic pharmacologically and is mostly used in the treatment of opiate/opiod addiction.

While Codeine cannot be directly converted into heroin it can be converted into morphine sulfate. These sulfates are then removed making a morphine freebase and then converted into heroin. The actual conversion process of morphine to heroine is not for amateurs and must only be conducted in a laboratory setting.

Heroin is not a category of drugs, but a specific drug The name "Heroin" actually originated as a brand name for diacetylmorphine (also known as diamorphine), an opiate analgesic chemically derived from morphine. The drug, marketed as "Heroin", was used widely enough in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that the brand name eventually passed into common usage as the name for all diacetlymorphine manufactured, such as tissues are often referred to as Kleenex regardless of band Other opiates are morphine, hydrocodone(Vicodin), oxycodone(OxyContin or Percocet), fentanly, hydromorhone, and methadone

The word morphine is derived from 'Morpheus' the god of dreams in Greek mythology. Chemical name for morphine is: (5 alpha, 6 alpha) 7,8 didehydro-4,5 epoxy-17methylmorphinan-3,5diol. It is an opiate alkaloid and a constituent of opium which is the name given to the dried juice of the unripe seedpods of poppy flower (Papaveretum somniferum). Codeine and heroin are derivatives of morphine. Codeine is methylmorphine and is well-known for its analgesic, anti-tussive and anti-diarrhoeal properties. Heroin is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from morphine and is chemically known as diamorphine or diacetylmorphine. Heroin is highly addictive and its abuse has disastrous implications both for the individual and the society. Morphine is a controlled drug from prescription point of view and is usually prescribed as morphine sulphate or under different trade names e.g. MST, MXL, Oramorph and Sevredol etc.

Yes, almost. Buprenorphine is sold in two forms: Suboxone and Subutex. The difference between them is that Suboxone has naloxone added to it. Naloxone is a partial opiate antagonist, meaning that it blocks the opiate receptors in your brain, so you cannot get high from either taking too much Suboxone, or from taking other opiates on top of the Suboxone. Subutex does not have the naloxone in it, so it is possible to take a lot of it and get high on it (it's going to be a crappy high, though...you're really better off taking hydrocodone or oxycodone, if you wanna get an opiate high), or to take other opiates like heroin or oxycodone on top of the Subutex, and get high from them.

All of the butanediones have this empirical formula, and there may be other compounds also.

This answer was wrong:

Butadione: first of all: there is only one possible butadion: CH3-C(=O)-C(=O)-CH3 (also named diacetyl)

and secondly butadion is with 6 H atoms (C4H6O2). An alkanon being --C(=O)--, double bonded =O to one 'middle' C atom!.

Right SIX answers or possibilities are (plus 3 enantiomers):

  • 2-hydroxybutanal and 3-hydroxybutanal (actually both have enantiomers: R- and S-forms on C'HOH)

    HC(=O)-C'HOH-CH2-CH3 and

    HC(=O)-CH2-C'HOH-CH3

  • 1-hydroxybuton and 3-(R- or S-)hydroxybutanon and 4-hydroxybuton

    CH2OH-C(=O)-CH2-CH3 and

    CH3-C(=O)-C'HOH-CH3 and

    CH3-C(=O)-CH2-CH2OH

  • Butanoic acid

    CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH

Improved answer: There are more possibilities:

Esters: Ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, propyl formate and isopropyl formate

Another acid: 2-methylpropanoic acid

Enediols: 3,4-dihydroxy-1-butene (R and S), 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butene (E and Z)

Ether carbonyl compounds: 3-methoxypropanal, 2-methoxypropanal, 2-ethoxyethanal, methoxypropanone

More hydroxy aldehydes: 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal, 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanal

Cyclic compounds: Dioxane, 1,3-dioxacyclohexane, 2-methyl-1,3-dioxacyclopentane, 4-methyl-1,3-dioxacyclopentane (R and S) (and a series of dimethyl-1,3-dioxacyclobutanes if they are viable). There are also cyclic diols such as cyclobutane-1,2-diol (RR, SS and meso) and other cyclobutane isomers, and methylcyclopropanediol isomers. Then there are cyclic and non-cyclic peroxides with O-O bonds.

In short, there are many molecules with the formula: C4H8O2

Yes, heroin was originally developed by doctors to be used as a pain medication, for which purpose it works extremely well, and it is still sometimes prescribed for terminally ill patients who are in severe pain - although there are now other, equally powerful pain killers such as dilaudid which may be prescribed instead. It was only later that heroin came into use as a recreational drug and became a controlled substance.

The "ingredients" in heroin is merely the drug, heroin (although its chemical name is diacetyl-morphine); the drug got its renown trade name (heroin) shortly after it's discovery/development and it has stuck (for example, in opposition we call morphine by its chemical name; which is morphine, and not by its trade name, or brand name it was sold under when it was first developed). In regards to other added substances in black-market heroin, this varies.. and they generally do not contribute to any of the psychoactive effects (unless an antihistamine is used as a cutting agent, this will cause added sedation and will minorly potentiate the opiate-effects). Quinine is also a common ingredient in black-market heroin. But in general, added substances to heroin vary greatly and are more likely to consist of "fillers" cheaply and readily available to the drug dealer and are therefore impossible to identify without a lab analysis.

But calling added substances "ingredients" is somewhat of a misnomer. They are only found in black-market grade heroin (and not "medical grade" heroin, as available in some western countries, although not in the U.S.); and can be seen more as a "contaminant" than an "ingredient", and in fact, a lot of these added substances and the impurity of black-market quality heroin contribute to its major health effects when injected. Since not all substances are meant for injection and can cause complications, or if handling of the drug caused bacterial contamination--regular intravenous use can lead to: stroke, heart attack, gangrene, limb amputation, infection, and/or organ damage (these would not be normal side effects if pure or medical grade heroin were being used, and injected in a safe fashion). To repeat myself, the only ingredient that is supposed to technically be in heroin; is diacteylmorphine.

In some instances, if heroin is improperly, inadequately, or poorly synthesized from morphine and opium some left over, unreacted opiate alkaloids or plant matter (originally found in opium, the base material from which heroin is made) may remain in the final product. And in some rare cases, black marketheroin will not actually contain diacetylmorphine at all, but will rather contain a different opiate or opiates. The most common of these substitutes are: morphine, the-more-potent drug fentanyl, other fentanyl derivatives (alfentanil, sufentanil, remifentanil, carfentanil), or the specific fenantyl derivative alpha-methylfentanyl which was the active ingredient in the drug sold as "china white heroin." Because most all opiates are cross tolerant with each other, the user will notice little to no difference in the substitution if the strength is kept relatively stable and if a short-acting opiate is used (if a longer acting opiate is used, the user will notice a less profound "rush"). And of course at some other times, the drug presented as "heroin" wont contain any diacetylmorphine or any opiate at all. (i.e., the user got ripped off!)
