Oleogels and emulgels were developed with winterized algal oil from Schizochytrium spp. rich in ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) to overcome physical limitations of using a highly unsaturated lipid source food applications. Both gel types monolaurin or combination mono- diacylglycerols (MAG/DAG) as the gelator at concentrations 8%, 10%, 12% (w/w) emulsion. A 30-day oxidation study was conducted peroxide v...

The antimicrobial activity of fatty acids, monolaurin, citric, succinic, fumaric, malic and lactic acid was determined in cultures of two strains of Escherichia coli, three strains of Salmonella sp. and two strains of Clostridium perfringens. Antimicrobial activity was expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) that prevented growth and glucose utilization in treated cultures. Caprylic...

Four different lipolytic preparations have been isolated from rat skeletal muscle. Two of these, provisionally designated monopalmitin lipase (MPL) and monomyristin lipase (MML), are associated with insoluble cellular particulate fractions. The other two enzymes, provisionally designated tricaproin lipase (TCL) and monolaurin lipase (MLL), are found in the high-speed supernatant fraction. Taken...

Artificial cells, which are engineered particles that mimic one or many functions of biological cells, have attracted much attention in recent decades as a new technology. In a previous study, artificial cells were prepared using chicken eggs and sphingosine-DNA. The resulting DNA crown cells were surrounded by a membrane containing lipid and DNA, which was formed with egg white components. The...
