Separation of monoacylglycerols by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
1992
Abstract Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a thermostated octadecylsilyl column was used to separate complex mixtures of monoacyglycerols formed by chemical deacylation of natural triacyclycerols. Acetonitrile-water mixtures were used for elution of the underivatized monoacylglycerols and a different refractometer was used for their detection. The order of elution of monoacylglycerols in complex mixtures varies as a function of the chain length, unsaturation, positional isomerism, analysis temperature and eluent water concentration. The peak areas were representative of the amounts of monoacylglycerols detected. The method can be applied to compositional analysis and …
Synthèse et formulation de résines photopolymérisables issues de la biomasse : application pour l'impression Braille
2014
The work of the PhD deals with the synthesis of polymerizable monomers derived from biomass, the study of their photopolymerization and the characterization of the resulting materials. The formulated monomers were tested in a printing method of Braille characters.The monomers were prepared in a two-steps reaction that is simple, economic and environmentally friendly. The first step comprised a reaction between glycerol derivatives (glycerol carbonate or glycidol) and fatty acids. In the second step, the obtained [alpha]-monoglycerides were functionalized to obtain photopolymerizable monomers. The different obtained monomers that bear (meth)acrylate and/or epoxy groups were photopolymerized …
Mobilization of late-endosomal cholesterol is inhibited by Rab guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor
2000
AbstractCholesterol entering cells in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) via receptor-mediated endocytosis is transported to organelles of the late endocytic pathway for degradation of the lipoprotein particles. The fate of the free cholesterol released remains poorly understood, however. Recent observations suggest that late-endosomal cholesterol sequestration is regulated by the dynamics of lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA)-rich membranes [1]. Genetic studies have pinpointed a protein, Niemann–Pick C-1 (NPC-1), that is required for the mobilization of late-endosomal/lysosomal cholesterol by an unknown mechanism [2]. Here, we report the removal of accumulated cholesterol by overexpression of the…
Effect of surfactants and drying rate on barrier properties of emulsified edible films
2007
Summary The effects of globule size, nature and concentration of surfactant, and drying duration of water vapour transmission rate and tensile strength of emulsified edible barriers containing methylcellulose and paraffin wax, were measured. of the six surfactants tested, 0.6% purified glycerol monostearate (GMS) produced films with the lowest water vapour transmission rates and the highest mechanical resistance. Longer drying times of film-forming emulsions produced better barrier and mechanical properties. Control of the film forming emulsion stability allowed the reduction of the water vapour transfer rate by an order of magnitude.
Untargeted metabolomics of fresh and heat treatment Tiger nut ( Cyperus esculentus L. ) milks reveals further insight into food quality and nutrition
2017
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is a crop traditionally grown in Valencia Region (Spain) and other temperate and tropical regions in the world, where its tubers are commonly consumed as tiger nut milk (horchata). Because of their nutritive potential and original taste, these products are beginning to spread internationally and, as consequence, analytical procedures to assess nutritional profiles, quality control issues are acquiring increasing relevance. The main objective of this study was to use an advance analytical method and chemometrics tools to determine if the ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment necessary to extend the shelf life of tiger nut milk would affect the profile of nu…
Lipid presentation by the protein C receptor links coagulation with autoimmunity.
2021
A lipid-protein autoimmunity target Several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus and primary antiphospholipid syndrome, are characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). These molecules can activate the complement and coagulation cascades, which contributes to pathologies such as thrombosis, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Müller-Calleja et al. found that endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) in complex with lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) is the cell-surface target for aPL and mediates its internalization (see the Perspective by Kaplan). aPL binding to EPCR-LBPA resulted in the activation of tissue factor–mediated coagulation and interfero…
