The chemical compound nitrogen trichloride(trichloramine) is a chloramine, with chemical formula NCl3. A yellow, oily, pungent-smelling liquid, it is often found as a byproduct of chemical reactions between many nitrogen-containing compounds and chlorine. Nitrogen trichloride was trademarked as Agene and used to artificially bleach and age flour. When purified, it is highly unstable. 8, record 2, English, - nitrogen%20trichloride

Methionine sulfoximine (MSO) is a rare amino acid. It occurs in nature or as a by-product of some forms of food processing. A notable example of the latter was a former method for bleaching wheat flour, using nitrogen trichloride, the "agene process," in use for most of the first 50 years of this century. "Agenized" flour was found to be responsible for various neurological disorders in animals, and MSO was identified as the toxic factor. 9, record 2, English, - nitrogen%20trichloride

In effect, bleach solution is a whitening and disinfecting agent compose of water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, and soda, in a nonuniform manner.

Commonly the most dangerous chemical found in a household, bleach is an inorganic aqueous solution of 5. 25% sodium hypochlorite. Bleach is a clear to yellowish liquid with a distinct chlorine like odor.

Javel water takes its name from the ancient village of Javel, now just one of Paris’ many neighbourhoods. In 1777, Count d’Artois founded the "Manufacture pour les Acides et Sels minéraux" in Javel, where the chemist Claude-Louis Berthollet worked. While searching for a method that would ease the work of washerwomen who had to whiten clothes by exposing them to sunlight, Berthollet came across a water solution that bleached cloth artificially, and he called it "eau de Javel." 12, record 3, English, - Javel%20water

Claude Louis BERTHOLLET [...] étudia également les propriétés du chlore (acide marin déphlogistiqué), ce qui le conduisit à la découverte de l'eau de Javel appelée à l'époque «lessive de BERTHOLLET».

En 1820, le pharmacien Antoine Germain Labarraque étudie les qualités désinfectantes des dérivés chlorés et des hypochlorites de potassium et de sodium. Il met au point une solution de chlorure et d'hypochlorite de sodium qu'il appelle «liqueur de Labarraque». En 1900 on appelait eau de Javel l'hypochlorite de potassium, et eau de Labbaraque, l'hypochlorite de sodium. Plus tard, le procédé de fabrication a remplacé le potassium par le sodium, sans changement de nom. 3, record 3, French, - eau%20de%20Javel
