Distinct roles of adipose triglyceride lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase in the catabolism of triacylglycerol estolides. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021
International audienceBranched esters of palmitic acid and hydroxy stearic acid are antiinflammatory and antidiabetic lipokines that belong to a family of fatty acid (FA) esters of hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) called FAHFAs.

Lipase‐mediated plant oil hydrolysis—Toward a quantitative glycerol recovery for the synthesis of pure allyl alcohol and acrylonitrile

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 125, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Selection of a suitable lipase provides for quantitative hydrolysis of triacylglycerides without unwanted coproducts. Optimization of the reaction in solely water as sole reaction medium allows for cost efficient conversion of plant oils and and recovery of a highly pure glycerol product as precursor for acrylonitrile synthesis as well as free fatty ...

Toward sustainable production of value‐added bioenergy and industrial oils in oilseed and biomass feedstocks

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 13, Issue 10, Page 1610-1623, October 2021., 2021
Triacylglycerols (TAGs), the principal component of plant vegetable oils, are energy‐dense storage forms of fatty acids that can function as feedstocks for biofuels and bioproducts. The value of TAGs for these non‐food applications can be enhanced by the introduction of unusual fatty acids with structural modifications that expand vegetable oil ...

Synthesis and physical properties of estolide ester using saturated Fatty Acid and ricinoleic Acid. [PDF]

J Autom Methods Manag Chem, 2011
A study was conveyed to produce estolide ester using ricinoleic acid as the backbone. The ricinoleic acid reacted with saturated fatty acid from C8–C18. These reactions were conducted under vacuum at 60°C for 24 h without solvent. The reaction used acid catalyst, sulphuric acid.

Chlorinated Phospholipids and Fatty Acids: (Patho)physiological Relevance, Potential Toxicity, and Analysis of Lipid Chlorohydrins

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Chlorinated phospholipids are formed by the reaction of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), generated by the enzyme myeloperoxidase under inflammatory conditions, and the unsaturated fatty acyl residues or the head group. In the first case the generated chlorohydrins are both proinflammatory and cytotoxic, thus having a significant impact on the structures of ...

The Food Additive Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate (E‐476): Structure, Applications, and Production Methods

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The food additive named polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and identified with the code E‐476 (PGPR) is used as emulsifier in tin‐greasing emulsions for the baking trade and for the production of low‐fat spreads. However, the main application of PGPR is in the chocolate industry, where, besides its action as an emulsifier, it also has important ...
