Phase Behavior and Polymorphism of Saturated and Unsaturated Phytosterol Esters [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 This study investigated how the physicochemical characteristics of phytosterol esters are influenced by the chain length and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid ester moiety. Saturated and unsaturated phytosterol esters (PEs) were synthesized by the

Early and diverse lipid consumption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae: an extensive targeted lipidomics approach and new perspectives for managing wine fermentation [PDF]
npj Science of FoodLipids play pivotal roles in yeast stress resistance, fermentation performance, and aroma formation. While fatty acid and sterol metabolism are documented, the fate of the broader lipidome during wine fermentation has been less investigated.
