Detailed study of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) oil micro-compounds : Phospholipids, tocopherols and sterols [PDF]
The oil of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) was studied for its composition in fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols and phospholipids. The fatty acids composition of phospholipids was also studied.

Synthesis of Rhamnose‐Modified Lewis‐X‐Containing Saponins
The synthesis of triterpenoid saponins bearing a Lewis‐X trisaccharide analogue, in which the fucose residue is replaced by a rhamnose, is presented. These saponins, designed as negative controls in dendritic cell‐specific intercellular adhesion molecule‐3‐grabbing nonintegrin‐targeted therapeutic applications, are prepared through iterative and ...

Influência da saponificação na determinação de carotenoides em maracujás do cerrado
This work describes the evaluation of the effect of saponification process in the carotenoid's content of three species of passion fruit. The results indicated the saponification of the extract was necessary to obtain cis-violaxanthin, trans-violaxanthin

Total Synthesis of Ectocarpin A
A fully enantioselective total synthesis of ectocarpin A, a new oxylipin, has been achieved in 12 steps starting from tetrahydro‐1H‐cyclopentafuranone. Key steps include the formation of the chiral core, diastereoselective epoxidation, enzymatic desymmetrization of a 1,4‐diol, epimerization, and strategic Wittig and Julia‐Kocienski olefinations to ...

A copolymer analysis approach to estimate the neutral sugar distribution of sugar beet pectin using size exclusion chromatography [PDF]
Partially degraded sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) pectins were characterised in terms of galacturonic acid, neutral sugar and ferulic acids contents. It was shown that the total neutral sugar content is correlated with the ferulic acid content. One pectin (C)

Experimental Investigation and Characterization of Biodiesel From Aregmone ocheroleuca
The experimental investigation and characterization of biodiesel derived from Aregmone ochroleuca, a plant known for its oil‐rich seeds. The production of biodiesel from argemone oil, methanol, and potassium hydroxide catalysis through transesterification methods, and then characterized their properties, like the Effect of Reaction Temperature on ...

A new combined approach to improved lipid production using a strictly aerobic and oleaginous yeast [PDF]
Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, and food industry, because most of those lipids are triacylglycerol with long-chain fatty-acids that are comparable to conventional vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.
