caprylic acid/zea mays

The current work was to evaluate the lipase-catalyzed acidolysis of corn oil with caprylic acid (CA) in organic system under bath ultrasonic pretreatment and to analyze the physicochemical properties of structured lipids (SLs). Under optimum conditions (Novozym 40086 lipase, 200 W ultrasound power,

Structured lipids (SLs) having long-chain fatty acids at sn-2 and medium-chain caprylic acid (CA, 8:0) at their sn-1,3-positions from corn oil (CO) were obtained and optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) with a three-level, three-factor face-centered cube design. Compositions of

The present study sought to demonstrate the effect of dietary intake of medium-chain triacylglycerides (MCTs) on the intestinal absorption of a poorly permeable compound of intermediate molecular weight (FITC-dextran 4000 [FD-4]). As a model of MCTs, C8-C12 fatty acid triacylglyceride (COCONADTM ML)

BACKGROUND A low serum albumin concentration < 3.8 g/dL, a marker of malnutrition-inflammation complex syndrome, is observed in approximately half of all maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients in the United States and is strongly associated with increased mortality. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that a

Jejunal infusions of linoleic acid, corn oil, or caprylic acid significantly increased hepatic vagal afferent activity, whereas saline infusions were ineffective. The magnitude of response was greatest with either linoleic acid or corn oil. Hepatic portal infusions of linoleic acid, Liposyn II, or
