Lipases were employed under solvent-free conditions to conjugate oligo-ricinoleic acid derivatives with 10-undecenoic acid, incorporate a reactive terminal double bond into the resultant product. First, undecenoic was covalently attached using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase (CAL) at 30% yield. Thirty percent conversion also occurred for CAL-catalyzed esterification between and biocatalytically-prepared polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), attachment of occurring primarily free...
<abstract> <bold><sc>Abstract.</sc></bold> Understanding the hydration characteristics of different cereals and legumes is important for gaining insights into their processability determining seed dormancy. Hydration kinetics can also provide valuable information on rate extent volume weight uptake. In this study, a analysis system was developed application in research industry, where there need to understand rates seeds. The able simultaneously soak seeds measure volume, weight, density....
Food Science is a relatively small yet critical field of science that covers wide array topic areas, ranging from food chemistry to microbiology processing sensory product development, just name few. Accordingly, it can often be difficult for instructors connect with other who teach similar courses and locate teaching resources the specific areas they teach. This especially challenging wish utilize realistic industry case studies in their courses, but do not have prior work experience....
