Polyglycerol Esters of Fatty Acids: Physicochemical Properties and Application to Foods

Fatty acids profile and physicochemical properties of various shortenings formulated with palm oil

Shortenings are a mixture of one or more vegetable edible oil with partial hydrogenation in mixed with or without animal fat. In this study, three formulations of shortenings, with the best commercial and technological properties were prepared. Increasing consumption of shortenings at the human daily diet, with low adverse coronary effects in human daily diet, three formulations prepared using ...

Preparation and characterization of β-carotene nanodispersions stabilized by polyglycerol esters of fatty acids using solvent displacement technique

The effects of six different polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGEs) as nonionic emulsi fiers on the physicochemical properties and stability of β-carotene nanoparticles in oil-in-water dispersions prepared by solvent displacement technique were investigated. The β-carotene particle size was measured by a laser diffraction technique, and the stability and retention of β-carotene during storag...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Esters of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Synthesis of fatty acyl CoA and other thiol esters using N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of fatty acids.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide esters of long-chain fatty acids have been used to synthesize the CoA and thioglycolic acid thiol esters of palmitic and 3-ketopalmitic acids in high yield and with a minimum of untoward side reactions.
