The membrane is a dynamic assembly and things are diffusing rapidly in the plane of the bilayer. The middle of the bilayer has been likened to olive oil. As with oil, cooling the lipid bilayer will cause the hydrocarbons to become more ordered (structured). The side chains pack closer to each other, and the fluidity of the membrane is lower. Things that disrupt the ability of the side chains to pack in a regular fashion make the membrane more fluid (Fig. 3-4). These include high temperature, lipids with shorter chains (double bonds. The shorter lipids and the m-double bonds cause the occurrence of holes (packing defects).

The use of capillary columns rather than packed column GC has improved resolution and sensitivity and shortened the analysis time (Washall and Wampler 1988). However, more stringent sample clean-up procedures are required for capillary column GC (Oliver and Nicol 1982b). The development of methods using whole column cryotrapping (Pankow and Rosen 1988 Pankow et al. 1988) and cryogenic refocusing (Washall and Wampler 1988) provide even greater sensitivity and resolution for GC analysis. 

Figure 26 shows the separation of a synthetic mixture of TG standards and an olive oil sample using two 3-//m C18 columns connected in series with NARP conditions. The mobile phase used was 7 3 acetone/acetonitrile at a flow rate of 2.5 ml/min. The analysis time was ca. 8 min. Attempts to duplicate this separation on several 5-/rmC18 columns packed with different packing materials were not successful. 

El-Fizga (108) developed a simple, rapid method for the detection of oils high in linoleic acid in olive oil by RP-HPLC and a simple authenticity factor and a derived equation to determine the extent of adulteration with a one short chromatographic step, completed in less than 15 min. They used two 150 X 4.5-mm ID stainless steel columns packed with an octyl-bonded silica stationary phase (Supelcosil-LC 8) (Supelco. Bellefonte, PA, USA) and a differential reffactometric detector. The isocratic mobile phase was acetone-acetonitrile (70 30, v/v) (Table 5). 

For online coupling to GC, GPC columns must be smaller than those currently used. A column packed with polystirene PSS SDV was used to measure chlorinated pesticides in olive oil, fat extracts of chicken and fish, and lettuce (75). GPC can be used for the automated online cleanup and determination of 22 OPPs in various fruits, such as apples, grapes, and kiwi fruit (80). 

The preparation of oil samples for the determination of pesticides by GC requires the complete removal of fat. The online combination of GPC and the GC method allowed trace-level determination of 17 OPPs in olive oil samples. Sample preparation was negligible when a column packed with PLGel for GPC and UV detector was used (70).

First, we measured thermodynamic and mass transfer data of the multicomponent system olive 0U/CO2 (3,4). The phase equilibria was modulated by correlating the partition coefficients (Kj = y /x ) of each component present in the mixture as a function of the mole fraction of the FFA fraction in the liquid phase (3). Mass transfer studies were performed in a lab-scale countercurrent packed column. The experimental measured mass transfer coefficients were...

When a lipid is unsaturated, as in Figure 23, the molecule bends wherever there is a double bond. This prevents the chains from packing close together, so these lipids tend to be liquid oHs such as olive or corn oH.

Chlorophylls. Chlorophyll pigments are responsible for the greenish hues in virgin olive oil. Their content may range from 10 to 30 mg/kg. The main chlorophyll present in packed oil is pheophytin a. Chlorophyll a occurs in the oil just after production. Minguez-Mosquera and co-workers (1990) reported the presence of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, pheophytin a and pheophytin b in fresh oils. Psomiadou and Tsimidou (2001) found no chlorophyll a and only... 

Liquid triacylglycerols are called oils. Oils typically come from plant products such as com, soybeans, olives, and peanuts. They are composed primarily of triacylglycerols with unsaturated fatty acids that cannot pack tightly together. Consequently, they have relatively low melting points, causing them to be liquids at room temperature. The approximate fatty acid compositions of some common fats and oils are shown in Table 26.2.
