|Section2= |Section3= |Section4= |Section7= }} Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 67% nitrogen by mass and, if mixed with resins, has fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred, and has several other industrial uses. Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals that have ingested cyromazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report on cyromazine of the European Medicines Agency )〕 It has been reported that cyromazine can also be converted to melamine in plants.〔(FAO report on cyromazine )〕 Melamine combines with cyanuric acid and related compounds to form melamine cyanurate and related crystal structures, which have been implicated as contaminants or biomarkers in Chinese protein adulterations. == Etymology == The German word ''melamin'' was coined by combining the words: melam (a derivative of ammonium thiocyanate) and amine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate = 2008-09-28 )〕 Melamine is, therefore, unrelated etymologically to the root ''melas'' (μελας, meaning black in Greek), from which the words melanin, a pigment, and melatonin, a hormone, are formed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melamine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
