It is noteworthy that research on various species of hairy animals has established that the nutrients which might be helpful in the prevention of excessive hair loss are amino acids, particularly those which contain sulfur (cystine and methionine) the essential, polyunsaturated fatty acids iodine and zinc many members of the vitamin B complex and vitamins A, C, and E. The E)est way to obtain these nutrients is from a wide variety of nutritious foods such tis dairy products, eggs, fish and seafood, fruits and vegetables, meats and poultry, vegetable oils, and whole-grain breads and cereal products.

Well-planned vegetarian and vegan diets are nutritionally adequate for all people in all stages of life, so long as care is taken to include adequate protein, iron, vitamin Bi2> omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, calcium, iron, and zinc—nutrients sometimes lacking In animal-free diets. 

Infrared spectra of fats and oils are similar regardless of their composition. The principal absorption seen is the carbonyl stretching peak which is virtually identical for all triglyceride oils. The most common appHcation of infrared spectroscopy is the determination of trans fatty acids occurring in a partially hydrogenated fat (58,59). Absorption at 965 - 975 cm is unique to the trans functionaHty. Near infrared spectroscopy has been utilized for simultaneous quantitation of fat, protein, and moisture in grain samples (60). The technique has also been reported to be useful for instmmental determination of iodine value (61). 

Measurement of Unsaturation. The presence of double bonds in a fatty acid side chain can be detected chemically or through use of instmmentation. Iodine value (IV) (74) is a measure of extent of the reaction of iodine with double bonds the higher the IV, the more unsaturated the oil. IV may also be calculated from fatty acid composition. The cis—trans configuration of double bonds may be deterrnined by infrared (59) or nmr spectroscopy. Naturally occurring oils have methylene-intermpted double bonds that do not absorb in the uv however, conjugated dienes maybe deterrnined in an appropriate solvent at 233 nm.

C-21 dicarboxyhc acids are produced by Westvaco Corporation in Charleston, South Carolina in multimillion kg quantities. The process involves reaction of tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) (containing about 50% oleic acid and 50% hnoleic acid) with acryhc acid [79-10-7] and iodine at 220—250°C for about 2 hours (90). A yield of C-21 as high as 42% was reported. The function of the iodine is apparendy to conjugate the double bond in linoleic acid, after which the acryhc acid adds via a Diels-Alder type reaction to form the cycHc reaction product. Other catalysts have been described and include clay (91), palladium, and sulfur dioxide (92). After the reaction is complete, the unreacted oleic acid is removed by distillation, and the cmde C-21 diacid can be further purified by thin film distillation or molecular distillation. 

Molecular Interactions. Various polysaccharides readily associate with other substances, including bile acids and cholesterol, proteins, small organic molecules, inorganic salts, and ions. Anionic polysaccharides form salts and chelate complexes with cations some neutral polysaccharides form complexes with inorganic salts and some interactions are stmcture specific. Starch amylose and the linear branches of amylopectin form inclusion complexes with several classes of polar molecules, including fatty acids, glycerides, alcohols, esters, ketones, and iodine/iodide. The absorbed molecule occupies the cavity of the amylose helix, which has the capacity to expand somewhat to accommodate larger molecules. The starch—Hpid complex is important in food systems. Whether similar inclusion complexes can form with any of the dietary fiber components is not known.

A purified fatty acid is recommended for the preparation of a pure a-sulfo acid. Purified palmitic acid (m.p. 60.8-61.4°, neutralization equivalent 256.2) is prepared by twice recrystallizing a good commercial grade of palmitic acid from acetone at 0°, using a solvent ratio of 10 ml. to 1 g. However, the reaction may be applied to commercial saturated higher fatty acids, if the iodine number is sufficiently low. The checkers obtained similar results with recrystaUized Neo-Fat 1-56 (Armour and Company, Chicago, 111.) or Eastman white label palmitic acid.

Polycrystalline and well-oriented specimens of pure amylose have been trapped both in the A- and B-forms of starch, and their diffraction patterns84-85 are suitable for detailed structure analysis. Further, amylose can be regenerated in the presence of solvents or complexed with such molecules as alcohols, fatty acids, and iodine the molecular structures and crystalline arrangements in these materials are classified under V-amylose. When amylose complexes with alkali or such salts as KBr, the resulting structures86 are surprisingly far from those of V-amyloses. 

An excellent example of PLC applications in the indirect coupling version is provided by the works of Miwa et al. [12]. These researchers separated eight phospholipid standards and platelet phospholipids from the other lipids on a silica gel plate. The mobile phase was composed of methylacetate-propanol-chloro-form-methanol-0.2% (w/v) potassium chloride (25 30 20 10 10, v/v). After detection with iodine vapor (Figure 9.2), each phospholipid class was scraped off and extracted with 5 ml of methanol. The solvent was removed under a stream of nitrogen, and the fatty acids of each phospholipid class were analyzed (as their hydrazides) by HPLC. The aim of this study was to establish a standardized... 

The major fatty acids present in plant-derived fatty substances are oleic acid (9-octadecenoic, C18 l), linoleic acid (9,12-octadecadienoic, C18 2) and the conjugated isomers thereof and linolenic acid (9,12,15-octadecatrienoic, C18 3) (Scheme 31.1). Their rates of oxygen absorption are 100 40 1, respectively, hence partial hydrogenation with consequent lowering of the iodine number would lead to a significant increase in oxidative stabihty, particularly when C18 3 is reduced. 

We focused our attention on Tall oil, a by-product of the paper industry, whenever this is prepared according to the KRAFT process. Said material consists of a mixture of highly unsaturated fatty acids (many of which with conjugated diene systems) and terpene derived rosin acids. The rosin acids have the molecular formula C20H30O2 and thus belong to the diterpenes (pimaric and abietic acids). Tall Oil has an iodine number equal to approximately 170 gl2/100 g. 

The acid obtained contains a small percentage of arachidic acid and other higher saturated fatty acids, and has an iodine number of 66.9 (instead of about 75). If not entirely colorless, the product may be distilled under reduced pressure, when it boils at 24t-243°/5 mm. or 252-2540/12 mm. there is practically...
