Four glycoglycerolipids with different head groups have been synthesized and their physicochemical properties studied. The lengths of the head groups from a mono-saccharide to a trisaccharide, in addition to the anomeric stereochemistry for the smaller glycoglycerolipids, have been modified. The synthesis has been optimized to avoid glycerol epimerization and to allow up-scaling. The physicoche...

Oxidative esterification of benzylic alcohols with a catalytic amount of HBr-H2O2 in aqueous medium under mild conditions is reported with a wide range of substrate scope for both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols. The conditions are also suitable for selective mono-esterification of ethylene glycol and glycerol. With catalytic amounts of HBr (20 mol%) and H2O2, the generation of reactive interme...

Måløy, Department of Physics, University of Oslo, PO Box 1048 Blindern, NO-0316 Oslo, Norway e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] We present an experimental study of two-phase flow in a quasi-two-dimensional porous medium. The two phases, a water-glycerol solution and a commercial food grade rapeseed/canola oil, having an oil to water-gly...

1. The activities of tri-, diand mono-glyceride lipase and carnitine palmitoyttransferase were measured in homogenates of a variety of muscles. These activities were used to estimate the rate of utilization of glycerides and fatty acids by muscle. In muscles whose estimated rates offat utilization can be compared with rates calculated for the intact muscle from such information as 02 uptake, th...

The guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) was purified to apparent homogeneity from postribosomal supernatants of rabbit reticulocytes by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose, fractionation by glycerol gradients, and chromatography on Mono S and Mono Q (Pharmacia). At the Mono S step GEF is isolated as a complex with the eukaryotic polypeptide chain initiation factor 2 (eIF-...

Cold 10% trichloroacetic acid was used to extract antigens from purified cell walls of Streptococcus mutans BHT. Column chromatography on Biogel P-100 resolved two serologically reactive fractions (B and C). These fractions were ascertained to be relatively pure by recycling on Biogel P-100, Ouchterlony double-diffusion analysis, and immunoelectrophoresis. Fractions B and C demonstrated bands o...

Currently monoglyceride and diglyceride are representing important products, as they have numerous applications such as modifying agents in food and pharmaceutical industries. In this work, the production of these economically value added compounds by estrifying the fatty acids with the glycerol is presented. Effects of various reaction parameters were optimized to obtain high yield of mono, di...
