Sterol Forest

Roller Coasters (an up and a down roller coaster, for fiitty acid biosynthesis and degradation), and a musical review by the Ketones in the Ketone Playhouse. In the East, progressing through Channel 5, one arrives at the dark and mysterious Sterol Forest, where one may search for sex, but must beware of falling into Bile Bog. 

Now don t let your imagination run away with you. The Conjugation Area is not an illicit area of Carbohydrate-land. If you want that sort of thing you had best visit the sexual zone of Sterol Forest in Lipidland. The Conjugation Area produces glucuronate, one of the important...

Surface-active compounds can be produced from all wood constituents. For instance, water-soluble cellulose derivatives and lignin, in the form of lignosulfonates, can be used as dispersing agents in many applications. This chapter focuses on the production of resin and fatty acids as well as sterols and sterol ethoxylates as forest-industry by-products, and their use as surface-active components. Moreover, the potential production of hemi-celluloses and their possible utilization as steric stabilizers of oil-in-water emulsions is also outlined.
