Fatty adds solubilities

Phosphatidylcholine, commonly known as lecithin, is the most commonly occurring in natnre and consists of two fatty add moieties in each molecule. Phosphati-dylethanolamine, also known as cephahn, consists of an amine gronp that can be methylated to form other compounds. This is also one of the abundant phospholipids of animal, plant, and microbial origin. Phosphatidylserine, which has weakly acidic properties and is found in the brain tissues of mammals, is found in small amounts in microorganisms. Recent health claims indicate that phosphatidylserine can be used as a brain food for early Alzheimer s disease patients and for patients with cognitive dysfunctions. Lysophospholipids consist of only one fatty acid moiety attached either to sn-1 or sn-2 position in each molecule, and some of them are quite soluble in water. Lysophosphatidylchohne, lysophosphatidylserine, and lysophos-phatidylethanolamine are found in animal tissues in trace amounts, and they are mainly hydrolytic products of phospholipids. 

Chylomicrons are assembled from dietary triglyceride (containing predominantly the longer-chain fatty adds) and cholesterol esters by intestinal epithelial cells. The core lipid is surrounded by phospholipids similar to those found in cell membranes, which increase the solubility of chylomicrons in lymph and blood. ApoB-48 is attached and required for release from the epithelial cells into the lymphatics. 

The concentration of butanoic add in milk fat is the principle of the widely used criterion for the detection and quantitation of adulteration of butter with other fats, i.e. Reichert Meissl and Polenski numbers, which are measures of the volatile water-soluble and volatile water-insoluble fatty adds, respectively. 

Polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters are produced by the reaction of polyethylene glycols with fatty adds. The commercial products are waxy solids which include Carbowax 4000 (Mono) Stearate. Some of the products act as plasticizers and lubricants for plastics. The polyethylene glycols are soluble in water. 

This is formed of the nitrogenous substances (casein, albumin) and fats contained in milk, separated by coagulation (by rennet or by acidification). As a result of special fermentations which occur during the maturation of the cheese, these give rise to soluble albuminoid substances (albumoses, peptones, etc.), amino-adds (phenylaminopropionic add, tyrosine, leucine, etc.), ammoniacal products, fatty adds (lactic, propionic, caproie), etc. Cheese also contains water and mineral salts, including added sodium chloride.

Table 4.11 li ts the maximum solubilities of various fatty acids in salt water. Butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid with 4 carbons, is quite soluble in water and can be dissolved, in the laboratory, to a concentration of about 600 mM. Octanoic add (8 carbons) slightly soluble and can be dissolved to about 20 mM. Fatty adds containing 8 to ID or 12 carbons arc medium-chain fatty adds. Palmitic (16 Carbons), oleic (18 carbons), and longer fatly adds are long-chain fatty acids. The highest concentration attainable for long-chain fatty acids range from 0.1 jiAf to 0.1 mM. 

The most common phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine, contains two molecules of fatty add and one molecule of choline phosphate attached to a glycerol backbone (see Figure 1.11). Like all other phospholipids, it is amphipathic. The water-soluble end features a phosphate group, an amino group, and two keto groups. 

The hydrocarboxylation of an unsaturated fatty add ester is carried out in a single organic phase. As product, the monoester of a dicarboxylic add is formed. When this produd is treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution this add is converted into a water-soluble sodium salt. In the following separator the water-insoluble palladium catalyst is extracted from the aqueous phase by addition of an organic solvent. When the aqueous product phase is addified with aqueous hydrochloride solution the released carboxylic acid forms a second organic phase and can easily be separated. The catalyst-containing solvent phase passes a distillation step, thus recycling the solvent to the separator and the palladium catalyst to the reactor.

There are several studies investigating the flavor composition of smoked products that gives the products their characteristic flavors. The main components responsible for the smoke flavor are phenol derivatives. In addition to the flavoring compounds arising from wood pyrolysis, flavoring compounds derived from plants are also present. The soluble fraction mostly contains fatty adds and fatty esters, in addition to acids, alcohols, carbonyls, esters, furans, lactones, furans, and many miscellaneous compounds [108]. The phenolic fraction of traditional kiln-smoked Bacon contains phenols, furfuryl alcohol, and cyclotene while different compounds, such as 2,4,5-trimethyl-3(2//)-furanone, have been isolated from cooked Oscar Mayer bacon [109],... 

Tree nuts are highly nutritious and provide macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrate)[l,8], micronutrients (minerals and vitamins)[l], fat-soluble bioactives (monounsaturated fatty adds [MUFA], polyunsaturated fatty acids [PUFA], monoacylglycerols [MAG], diacylglycerols [DAG], tria-cylglycerols [TAG], phospholipids, sterol esters, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols, phytostanols, squalene, terpenoids, sphingolipids, and essential oils, among others) [1,4-6,9-12] (Table 1.2), and phy-... 

In conclusion, for all the healthy effects described, free nuts are considered as natural functional foods and can be used to promote health by their easy incorporation into ihe usual diet of the population. Tree nuts, which are rich in several vitantins, minerals, unsaturated fatty adds, essential amino acids, soluble fiber, and fat-solnble bioactives, among others, contain numerous phytochemicais that contribute to promoting health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the greatest cause of morbidity aud mortality in the world. However, as complete phytochemical profiles are lacking for most free nuts, information is limited regarding their bioacces-... 

In this chapter, we have firstly discussed the general issue of reactions in liposomes from a technical viewpoint. Starting from this basic knowledge, that is general and can be applied to whatever chemical system, we have then discussed some relevant examples of complex biochemical reactions in liposomes and fatty add vesicles. This choice reflects the authors interest, more than representing the large spectrum of possible applications, or the more general field of water-soluble enzymes entrapped inside liposomes (recently reviewed by Walde and Ichikawa ). The use of liposomes as a tool to study membrane-proteins has also been skipped. ... 

Fatty adds are predominantly used as intermediates. Main applieations are water soluble soaps for household eleaning, personal care, industrial and institutional (I I) cleaning and synthetic rubber manufacturing by emulsion polymerization. Soaps are made by reaction of fatty acids with caustic alkalis, alkali carbonate or ammonia or (>90%) by direct saponification of the triglyceride oil. Another important group of fatty add soaps are dry, water-insoluble metal soaps used as lubricants or stabilizers for PVC and other plastics and aqueous calcium stearate dispersions applied as paper coating...
