There is so much spoken about spices and condiments like cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and tamarind, but we hardly hear about kokum. Kokum is a very good antioxidant [combats free radicals]. It is also rich in citric acid, hydroxicitric acid [HCA], malic acid, polyphenols and acetic acid.The seeds have between 23 â 25 per cent oil, which solidifies on room temperature and becomes like butterâ kokum butter, which also has healing properties.here is so much spoken about spices and condiments like cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, and tamarind, but we hardly hear about kokum.

The activation energy diagram is drawn as a hill because there is a large amount of energy needed to form the unstable transition state (viewed as the upward slope on the diagram). The difference between this peak energy and the rectants' energy is the activation energy.
Lesson Summary. The activation energy is the energy required to start a reaction. Enzymes are proteins that bind to a molecule (substrate) to modify it and lower the energy required to make it react. The rate of reaction is given by the Arrhenius equation.
