Triglycerides tempering

Medium-chain triglycerides are stable over the wide range of storage temperatures that can be experienced in tropical and temperate climates. Ideally, however, they should be stored at temperatures not exceeding 25°C and not exposed to temperatures above 40°C for long periods. 

Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are compounds in which the three OF groups of glycerol are esterified with fatty acids. Triacylglycerols that are solids or semisolids at room temper-... 

Soybeans are legumes, the seeds of a low-growing field vine. These vines are ancient in culture the written record of their domestication in China dates back almost 5000 years [15]. From that time until now, soybeans have remained a very important agricultural crop for almost every temperate-climate civilization because of their unusually high content of both triglyceride oil and edible protein. 

The eight methylene units in sebacic acid, plus the numerous methylene units in the triglyceride all contribute to the low glass transition temperature, Tg, of the final product. The ten-second modulus vs. temper-...
