Completely negative results on the formation of liver glycogen were obtained when the sodium salts of caproic or caprylic acid61 60 were fed, as well as after the administration of the ethyl esters of caproic, caprylic, capric, myristic or oleic acids or methyl laurate.81 Caproic acid was found to be ineffective as a D-glucose-former in the phlorizinized dog.89... 

Other acids (often as esters) have been found in fermented molasses. Usually these substances are products of bacteriological action and they are not normal constituents of unfermented molasses. Bauer" oil from the yeast fermentation of Cuban blackstrap consists chiefly of the ethyl esters of capric, lauric, myristic and palmitic acids.122 The fat from the scums of hot-room Louisiana molasses contained hexanoic (caproic) and octanoic (caprylic) acids.10 The occurrence of such volatile acids as propionic,128 butyric128 124 and valeric acids124 requires more adequate establishment. 

Ascorbic acid was used to prevent the oxidation of olive oil, milk, arachis nut oil, lard, ethyl ester of lard, cottonseed oil, pork, and beef fat (4) data showing activity alone and as a synergist are reviewed. Ascorbyl laurate, myristate, palmitate, and stearate were similarly active, although only AP is listed as a preservative in GFR. Ascorbic acid synergy with tocopherol was also reviewed.

Esters constituted the largest family and included acetates (ethyl, propyl, isobutyl, butyl, isoamyl, and phenethyl), ethyl esters of fatty acids (propanoate, isobutanoate, butanoate, hexanoate, octanoate, 3-hydroxybutanoate, 3-hydroxyhexanoate and furcate), ethyl esters of organic acids (pyruvate, lactate, ethyl myristate, diethyl malate and, mono- and diethyl succinate) and various other esters, such as methyl butanoate, isobutyl lactate and phenylethyl octanoate. The acids quantified included isobutanoic, butanoic, hexanoic, octanoic, decanoic, lauiic and 3-methylbutanoic. The lactones included y-butyrolactone, pantolactone, y-decalactone and E- and Z-oak lactone and the terpenes included neral d-terpineol, P-dtronellol and Z-nerolidol. The aldehyde family comprised acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, furfural, 5-methylfurfural and octanal, and the phenol family included eugenol, 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol. Finally, 1,1-diethoxyethane, acetoin, sotolon, 2, 3-butanedione, p-cymene and methionol were also determined. 

Fruits obtained from this species of palm are very rich in fats, including oleic, lauric, myristic, capric, palmitic, stearic (all saturated) and linoleic fatty acids as well as ethyl esters of these fatty acids. The lipophilic constituents also include numerous sterols, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes, triterpenes, carotenoids and high-molecular-weight alcohols (Winston 1999). Water-soluble polysaccharides with high molecular weights are also found in the seed, but not in the widely used liposterolic extracts. 

For plasticized PVC the most commonly employed lubricants are normal and dibasic salts of stearic acid. Myristic acids, parafftn and other waxes, low molecular weight polyethylene and certain esters such as ethyl palmitate could also be used.

As with conventional emulsions the nature of the oil can affect the behaviour of the system. For pharmaceutical uses, oils used include the refined hydrocarbon oils such as light liquid paraffin and esters of long-chain fatty acids including vegetable oils, for example, ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate, olive oil and sesame oil. Frankenfeld et al (SO used mixtures of Solvent 100 Neutral (an isoparaffinic, dewaxed oil of high viscosity) and Norpar 13 (a non-viscous, normal paraffinic solvent) to vary the viscosity of the oil phase in attempts to control the transfer of solutes across the oil membrane. 

More recently Webb et al. (1952) reported no isopropyl alcohol in a wine fusel oil sample. They did find 4.1% n-propyl, 1.9% n-butyl, 4.9% ( — )-sec-butyl, 18.3% isobutyl, 9.6% ( —)-2-methyl-l-butanol, 54% isoamyl, trace of n-amyl, 1.5% n-hexyl, 5.6% esters, and traces of acetic and butyric acids and acetal. The esters included 0.19% ethyl caproate, 0.60% ethyl caprylate, 0.52% isoamyl caprylate, 1.32% ethyl caprate, 0.38% isobutyl caprate, 0.58% ethyl laurate, 0.25% ethyl palmitate, a trace of butyrate ester, 0.06% myristate ester. Probably present were methyl salicylate, isoamyl caprate, active amyl caproate, isoamyl caproate, active amyl caprylate, isobutyl caprylate, active amyl caprate, active amyl laurate, and isoamyl laurate. 

Waxes are esters of higher fatty acids and fatty alcohols. Pharmaceutically important examples are the liquid Decyl oleate (unsaturated Cetiol V ), the semisolid Wool fat (Adeps lanae) and the solids Yellow wax (Cera flava). Bees wax, white (Cera alba, white wax) and Cetyl palmitate (Cetaceum). The solid waxes are mainly used to increase the consistency of semisolid skin preparations (see Sect. 12.5.2). Waxy liquid compounds are ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate and benzyl benzoate. In the first two cases the fatty acid is esterified with a short-chain alcohol.
