Download or read book Oils and Fats as Raw Materials for Industry written by Divya Bajpai Tripathy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vegetable oils are the tri-esters on hydrolysis yield fatty acids and glycerol. Vegetable oils themselves or their fatty acids obtained after hydrolysis can be exploited as a raw material for various industries. Fatty acids due to owing active carboxylic avid group reacts easily with alcohols, acids and amines and gives products with ester and amide linkages. In addition, long alkyl chains incorporate hydrophobicity into products, enabling them for use in various industrial applications. In addition, these fatty acids are used to make various cyclic compounds with heteroatoms like imidazolines and ammonium quats. Oils and fats can be used as raw materials in many industries including food and agriculture, as surfactants in laundry detergents and cosmetics, as well as in pharmaceuticals. Moreover, unsaturated vegetable oils are also suitable to form epoxides and hence, are important in the manufacturing of paints and adhesives. Limited sources of petrochemicals and their harmful effects on health and the environment also promote the use of naturally occurring oils and fats as biodiesel after some chemical modification. Moreover, a vast variety of nonedible oils that can be obtained from easily cultivable plant species are receiving great interest from researchers because they not only yield cost-effective products but are also proven as a substrate to promote sustainable research. In this book, the editors will cover all possible industrial applications of the products that are formed using edible and non-edible vegetable oils. Vegetable oils are not a new research area, although they are considered an evergreen or long-lasting topic as most of the research in synthetic chemistry has been carried out on vegetable oils.

Download or read book Spectroscopic Methods in Food Analysis written by Adriana S. Franca and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the inherent complexity of food products, most instrumental techniques employed for quality and authenticity evaluation (e.g., chromatographic methods) are time demanding, expensive, and involve a considerable amount of manual labor. Therefore, there has been an increasing interest in simpler, faster, and reliable analytical methods for assessing food quality attributes. Spectroscopic Methods in Food Analysis presents the basic concepts of spectroscopic methods, together with a discussion on the most important applications in food analysis. The determination of product quality and authenticity and the detection of adulteration are major issues in the food industry, causing concern among consumers and special attention among food manufacturers. As such, this book explains why spectroscopic methods have been extensively employed to the analysis of food products as they often require minimal or no sample preparation, provide rapid and on-line analysis, and have the potential to run multiple tests on a single sample (i.e., non-destructive). This book consists of concepts related to food quality and authenticity, that are quite broad, given the different demands of the manufacturer, the consumer, the surveillance and the legislative bodies that ultimately provide healthy and safe products.

Download or read book Membrane Hydration written by E. Anibal Disalvo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the importance of water in determining the structure, stability and responsive behavior of biological membranes. Water confers to lipid membranes unique features in terms of surface and mechanical properties. The analysis of the hydration forces, plasticiser effects, controlled hydration, formation of microdomains of confined water suggests that water is an active constituent in a water-lipid system. The chapters describe water organization at the lipid membrane–water interphase, the water penetration, the long range water structure in the presence of lipid membranes by means of X-ray and neutron scattering, general polarization, fluorescent probes, ATR-FTIR and near infrared spectroscopies, piezo electric methods, computer simulation and surface thermodynamics. Permeation, percolation, osmotic stress, polarization, protrusion, sorption, hydrophobicity, density fluctuations are treated in detail in self-assembled bilayers. Studies in lipid monolayers show the correlation of surface pressure with water activity and its role in peptide and enzyme interactions. The book concludes with a discussion on anhydrobiosis and the effect of water replacement in microdomains and its consequence for cell function. New definitions of lipid/water interphases consider water not only as a structural-making solvent but as a mediator in signalling metabolic activity, modulating protein insertion and enzymatic activity, triggering oscillatory reactions and functioning of membrane bound receptors. Since these effects occur at the molecular level, membrane hydration appears fundamental to understand the behavior of nano systems and confined environments mimicking biological systems. These insights in structural, thermodynamical and mechanical water properties give a base for new paradigms in membrane structure and function for those interested in biophysics, physical chemistry, biology, bio and nano medicine, biochemistry, biotechnology and nano sciences searching for biotechnological inputs in human health, food industry, plant growing and energy conversion.
Download or read book The Semiconductive Properties of Lipids and Their Relation to the Electrical Conductivity of Lipid Bilayers written by Gordon Lee Jendrasiak and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made showing that lipid films in the dry state behave as electrical semiconductors with high activation energies. For phospholipids, these activation energies range from 4.8 to 6.3 e.v. Upon hydration, the activation energies decrease whereas the conductivities increase. An effect parallel to that of water is found with exposure of lipids to iodine vapor; here the activation energies range from 2.7 to 3.2 e.v. With the adsorption of either water or iodine, the dielectric constant, frequency dispersion and dissipation factor of the lipids increased over the dry state values. Lipid bilayers were found to exhibit an increase of 1000 to 100000 in their electrical conductivity with exposure of the bilayer to iodine solution. Spectroscopic evidence was obtained indicating that lipids form charge-transfer complexes with iodine. This charge transfer evidence is taken as suggestive of a possible electronic conduction mechanism, not only in the lipid films, but also in the lipid bilayers.
