Vegetable Oil-Based Materials for Drug Delivery Systems and Wound Dressings. [PDF]

open access: yesMacromol Biosci
Renewable resources like vegetable oils are increasingly explored for biomaterial production in biomedical applications. Their monoglycerides and triglycerides inherently possess functions or can be chemically modified to introduce functional groups suitable for polymerization, yielding biomaterials with desirable properties such as flexibility ...

Incorporation of ricinoleic acid into glycerolipids [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1971
Abstract The coenzyme A thiol ester of ricinoleic acid was synthesized and characterized. Ricinoleoyl-CoA has been tested as an acyl donor in several in vitro systems using rat liver microsomal acyltransferases. It is essentially inactive when 1-acyl- or 2-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoryl choline are used as acceptors, however, it can serve as acyl ...

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Peroxisomal β-oxidation and Production of γ-decalactone by the Yeast Rhodotorula aurantiaca

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2010
γ-Decalactone is a fruity aroma compound resulting from the peroxisomal β-oxidation of ricinoleic acid by yeasts. During the β-oxidation of fatty acids, the acyl-CoA oxidase and thioesterase play an important role. In R.

Activation of the Glutamic Acid-Dependent Acid Resistance System in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) Leads to Increase of the Fatty Acid Biotransformation Activity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The biosynthesis of carboxylic acids including fatty acids from biomass is central in envisaged biorefinery concepts. The productivities are often, however, low due to product toxicity that hamper whole-cell biocatalyst performance.

Fatty acid composition of Brunfelsia uniflora (Solanaceae) seed oil

open access: yesGrasas y Aceites, 1995
The seeds of Brunfelsia uniflora contained 30.5% of oil. The oil was analysed and components were identified by infrared (IR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and chemical methods. Linoleic acid predominated (75.5%) followed by oleic (11.8%)
