Biocatalysts synthesis and deposition in microfluidics flow system by Ling, Fiona Wang Ming

“…The immobilized lipase demonstrated a maximum degree of esterification of 97.3% under reaction conditions of 2.5 mg/ml catalyst loading; molar ratio of β-sitosterol to sunflower seed oil: 1:2; 150 rpm; 50 °C; 4 hours. This present work showed the feasibility of microreactors in synthesizing smaller and uniform nanoparticles to be applicable in different fields such as reactions and drug delivery.…”

Acharacterization, Antioxidant Properties And Authentication Of Virgin Coconut Oil by Abdul Manaf, Marina

“…Discriminant analysis was also capable to distinguish between VCO and other vegetable oils.Another rapid method, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was also used to determine adulteration of VCO with selected vegetable oils, namely soybean oil (SBO) from linolenic acid group, sunflower oil (SFO) from oleic-linoleic acid group and palm kernel oil (PKO) from lauric acid group. …”

Pine pollen for molecular encapsulation and oral delivery applications by Prabhakar, Arun Kumar

“…Processed pollen namely, sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs), where pollen/spores are subject chemical treatment to remove sporoplasmic contents and the intine layer, were favoured due to lower allergenicity and more loading space, with most of the work focused on singlecompartmental non-saccate pollen (Lycopodium, Sunflower etc.). Here we show that multi-compartmental pine pollen is also an effective vehicle to encapsulate and deliver molecules of interest. …”

Microstructure, rheological properties and stability of oleogels derived from palm olein, palm mid fraction and soybean oil blends by Saw, Mei Huey

“…Polyglycerol behenice acid ester (PBA), sunflower wax (SFW) and fully hydrogenated palm-based monoacylglycerol with high stearic (MGHO) were selected, whereas fully hydrogenated palm stearin iodine value of 2 (PSIV2), hard palm stearin iodine value of 14 (PSIV14) and fully hydrogenated palm-based monoacylglycerol with high palmitic (MGHP) were removed from further investigation due to their low effectiveness in gelling palm superolein. …”

Synthesis of several bisabolane sesquiterpenoids from xanthorrhizol isolated from C. Xanthorrhiza by Ngai, Mun Hong

“…Cleavage of the diacetate esters by reduction with lithium borohydride furnished helibisabonol A, an allelopathic agent isolated from Helianthus annuus (sunflowers). The unexpected difficulty in deprotection of helibisabonol A diacetate was due to acidic, basic and air-sensitive natures of helibisabonol A. …”
