Generalised compound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

A generalized compound is a mixture of chemical compounds of constant composition, despite possible changes in the total amount.[1] The concept is used in the Dynamic Energy Budget theory, where biomass is partitioned into a limited set of generalised compounds, which contain a high percentage of organic compounds.[2] The amount of generalized compound can be quantified in terms of weight, but more conveniently in terms of C-moles. The concept of strong homeostasis has an intimate relationship with that of generalised compound.[3]
