P. Ferstl, S. Gillig, C. Kaufmann, C. Dürr, C. Eder, A. Wierschem, W. Ruß, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 2010, 1189, 62-67 The melting point of triacylglycerides (TAGs) under atmospheric pressure depends on both the fatty acid composition and crystalline structure … Continue reading →

Bloom Formation on Poorly-Tempered Chocolate and Effects of Seed Addition

Y. Kinta, R.W. Hartel, J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc., 2010, 87, 19–27 Bloom on chocolate with different levels of cocoa butter seed addition was investigated. When insufficient cocoa butter seed crystals were added to give proper temper, the chocolate developed … Continue reading →

Effect of surfactant surface coverage on formation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN)

T. Helgason, T.S. Awad, K. Kristbergsson, D.J. McClements, J. Weiss, 2009, 334, 75-81 The effect of surfactant surface coverage on formation and stability of Tween 20 stabilized tripalmitin solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) was investigated. A lipid phase (10% w/w tripalmitin) … Continue reading →

Solid-Liquid Equilibrium Modelling and Stability Tests for Triacylglycerols Mixtures

M.T. dos Santos, G.A.C. Le Roux, X. Joulia, V. Gerbaud, Comp. Aided Chem. Eng., 2009, 27, 885-890 Computer-Aided Mixture Design for product development can take advantage from equilibrium modelling. Systems composed by triacylglycerols (TAG) mixtures are widely used for many … Continue reading →
