Very fatty acids

Aluminum complex greases, obtained by the reaction of aluminum isopropylate with a mixture of benzoic acid and fatty acids. These greases have a remarkable resistance to water, very good adhesion to metallic surfaces, good mechanical stability properties and resistance to temperature. They are less common than the first two types. [Pg.281]

Some fairly typical results, obtained by LaMer and co-workers [275] are shown in Fig. IV-24. At the higher film pressures, the reduction in evaporation rate may be 60-90%—a very substantial effect. Similar results have been reported for the various fatty acids and their esters [276,277]. Films of biological materials may offer little resistance, as is the case for cholesterol [278] and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (except if present as a bilayer) [279]. [Pg.147]

The effect is more than just a matter of pH. As shown in Fig. XV-14, phospholipid monolayers can be expanded at low pH values by the presence of phosphotungstate ions [123], which disrupt the stmctival order in the lipid film [124]. Uranyl ions, by contrast, contract the low-pH expanded phase presumably because of a type of counterion condensation [123]. These effects caution against using these ions as stains in electron microscopy. Clearly the nature of the counterion is very important. It is dramatically so with fatty acids that form an insoluble salt with the ion here quite low concentrations (10 M) of divalent ions lead to the formation of the metal salt unless the pH is quite low. Such films are much more condensed than the fatty-acid monolayers themselves [125-127]. [Pg.557]

Most LB-forming amphiphiles have hydrophobic tails, leaving a very hydrophobic surface. In order to introduce polarity to the final surface, one needs to incorporate bipolar components that would not normally form LB films on their own. Berg and co-workers have partly surmounted this problem with two- and three-component mixtures of fatty acids, amines, and bipolar alcohols [175, 176]. Interestingly, the type of deposition depends on the contact angle of the substrate, and, thus, when relatively polar monolayers are formed, they are deposited as Z-type multilayers. Phase-separated LB films of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon mixtures provide selective adsorption sites for macromolecules, due to the formation of a step site at the domain boundary [177]. [Pg.560]

Although extraction of lipids from membranes can be induced in atomic force apparatus (Leckband et al., 1994) and biomembrane force probe (Evans et al., 1991) experiments, spontaneous dissociation of a lipid from a membrane occurs very rarely because it involves an energy barrier of about 20 kcal/mol (Cevc and Marsh, 1987). However, lipids are known to be extracted from membranes by various enzymes. One such enzyme is phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which complexes with membrane surfaces, destabilizes a phospholipid, extracts it from the membrane, and catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction of the srir2-acyl chain of the lipid, producing lysophospholipids and fatty acids (Slotboom et al., 1982 Dennis, 1983 Jain et al., 1995). SMD simulations were employed to investigate the extraction of a lipid molecule from a DLPE monolayer by human synovial PLA2 (see Eig. 6b), and to compare this process to the extraction of a lipid from a lipid monolayer into the aqueous phase (Stepaniants et al., 1997). [Pg.50]

Once formed cholesterol undergoes a number of biochemical transformations A very common one is acylation of its C 3 hydroxyl group by reaction with coenzyme A derivatives of fatty acids Other processes convert cholesterol to the biologically impor tant steroids described m the following sections... [Pg.1096]

The higher alcohols occur in minor quantities primarily as the wax ester (ester of a fatty alcohol and a fatty acid) in many oilseed and marine sources. Free alcohols octacosanol [557-61-9] C2gH gO, and triacontanol [28351-05-5] have been isolated in very small amounts from sugarcane and its... [Pg.440]

There are physical—chemical differences between fats of the same fatty acid composition, depending on the placement of the fatty acids. For example, cocoa butter and mutton tallow share the same fatty acid composition, but fatty acid placement on the glycerin backbone yields products of very different physical properties. [Pg.117]

Aldehydes, enals, dienals, ketones, and hydrocarbons, which are responsible for disagreeable odors, generally bok at lower temperatures than fatty acids. Analysis showkig a free fatty acid concentration of less than 0.05% is an kidication that deodorization is sufficientiy complete. Some of the dienals have very low odor thresholds and sensory evaluation of the finished ok is a judicious quaHty assurance step. [Pg.127]

Historically, many attempts have been made to systematize the arrangement of fatty acids in the glyceride molecule. The even (34), random (35), restricted random (36), and 1,3-random (37) hypotheses were developed to explain the methods nature utilized to arrange fatty acids in fats. Invariably, exceptions to these theories were encountered. Plants and animals were found to biosynthesize fats and oils very differently. This realization has led to closer examination of biosynthetic pathways, such as chain elongation and desaturation, in individual genera and species. [Pg.129]

Proton chemical shift data from nuclear magnetic resonance has historically not been very informative because the methylene groups in the hydrocarbon chain are not easily differentiated. However, this can be turned to advantage if a polar group is present on the side chain causing the shift of adjacent hydrogens downfteld. High resolution C-nmr has been able to determine position and stereochemistry of double bonds in the fatty acid chain (62). Broad band nmr has also been shown useful for determination of soHd fat content. [Pg.132]

The sweet water from continuous and batch autoclave processes for splitting fats contains tittle or no mineral acids and salts and requires very tittle in the way of purification, as compared to spent lye from kettle soapmaking (9). The sweet water should be processed promptly after splitting to avoid degradation and loss of glycerol by fermentation. Any fatty acids that rise to the top of the sweet water are skimmed. A small amount of alkali is added to precipitate the dissolved fatty acids and neutralize the liquor. The alkaline liquor is then filtered and evaporated to an 88% cmde glycerol. Sweet water from modem noncatalytic, continuous hydrolysis may be evaporated to ca 88% without chemical treatment. [Pg.347]

Very Htfle data are available regarding effects of anaboHc steroid implants on the Hpid metaboHsm in growing mminants. Lipogenic enzyme activity and fatty acid synthesis in vitro were elevated in subcutaneous adipose tissue from bulls implanted with estradiol (44), which may account for the increase in fat content of carcasses reported in some studies. TBA implants have no effect on Hpogenesis in intact heifers, and only tend to reduce Hpogenic enzyme activities in ovariectomized heifers (45). [Pg.409]

Phosphorus. Eighty-five percent of the phosphoms, the second most abundant element in the human body, is located in bones and teeth (24,35). Whereas there is constant exchange of calcium and phosphoms between bones and blood, there is very Httle turnover in teeth (25). The Ca P ratio in bones is constant at about 2 1. Every tissue and cell contains phosphoms, generally as a salt or ester of mono-, di-, or tribasic phosphoric acid, as phosphoHpids, or as phosphorylated sugars (24). Phosphoms is involved in a large number and wide variety of metaboHc functions. Examples are carbohydrate metaboHsm (36,37), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from fatty acid metaboHsm (38), and oxidative phosphorylation (36,39). Common food sources rich in phosphoms are Hsted in Table 5 (see also Phosphorus compounds). [Pg.377]

Lignites and lignosulfonates can act as o/w emulsifiers, but generally are added for other purposes. Various anionic surfactants, including alkylarylsulfonates and alkylaryl sulfates and poly(ethylene oxide) derivatives of fatty acids, esters, and others, are used. Very Httle oil is added to water-base muds in use offshore for environmental reasons. A nonionic poly(ethylene oxide) derivative of nonylphenol [9016-45-9] is used in calcium-treated muds (126). [Pg.182]

More frequentiy, alkyd resias are described by a combiaed classification ia terms of thek oil length, the type of fatty acids, and any unusual kigredients. Such descriptions as an isophthaUc, very long tall oil alkyd a medium oil dehydrated castor-PE ( pentaerythritol, not polyethylene) alkyd or a short oil lauric-ben2oic alkyd, immediately project the general properties of the reski. [Pg.32]

Emulsions of fatty- and petroleum-based substances, both oils and waxes, of the o/w type are made by using blends of sorbitan fatty esters and their poly(oxyethylene) derivatives. Mixtures of poly(oxyethylene(20)) sorbitan monostearate (Polysorbate 60) and sorbitan monostearate are typical examples of blends used for lotions and creams. Both sorbitan fatty acid esters and their poly(oxyethylene) derivatives are particularly advantageous in cosmetic uses because of their very low skin irritant properties. Sorbitan fatty ester emulsifiers for w/o emulsions of mineral oil are used in hair preparations of both the lotion and cream type. Poly(oxyethylene(20)) sorbitan monolaurate is useflil in shampoo formulations (see Hairpreparations). Poly(oxyethylene) sorbitan surfactants are also used for solubilization of essential oils in the preparation of colognes and after-shave lotions. [Pg.54]

Fats and Oils. Fats and oils (6) are traditionally sulfated using concentrated sulfuric acid. These are produced by the sulfation of hydroxyl groups and/or double bonds on the fatty acid portion of the triglyceride. Reactions across a double bond are very fast, whereas sulfation of the hydroxyl group is much slower. Yet 12-hydroxyoleic acid sulfates almost exclusively at the hydroxyl group. The product is generally a complex mixture of sulfated di-and monoglycerides, and even free fatty acids. Other feeds are castor oil, fish oil, tallow, and sperm oil. [Pg.84]

Substitution of some of the alkoxy groups on the polytitanoxanes with glycols, P-diketones or P-ketoesters, fatty acids, diester phosphates or pyrophosphates, and sulfonic acids gives a group of products that are very effective surface-treating agents for carbon black, graphite, or fibers (32). [Pg.142]
