Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids - Investigatory Project Liquid Crystals from Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant

1. Omega 3 fatty acids and Alzheimer’s disease Omega 3 fatty acids and Alzheimer’s disease how do they relate to one another? I have found in my research that omega 3 has been proven to show a delay in the process of Alzheimer’s disease and also has many other health benefits. This is my findings in doing my research. Although no one knows what causes Alzheimer ’s disease‚ many research studies indicate that those who regularly eat fatty fish or who supplement with fish oil have a lower

calculation of ATP yield due to the complete oxidation of different types of fatty acids Banda Venkat Reddy1‚ (Published In Indian Journal of Biochemistry And Biophysics) Abstract During complete oxidation of fatty acids‚ the electrons removed from fatty acids in different forms (FADH2 and NADH2) pass through the respiratory chain‚ driving the ATP synthesis. Generally‚ the total ATP yield due to the complete oxidation of fatty acids is calculated by sum of the ATPs obtained due to oxidation of FADH2 and

PFAD MANUFACTURING PROCESS Crude Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the palm Elaeis guineensis. Crude palm oil (CPO) is refined by physical refining to get Refined‚ Bleached and Deodourised Palm oil. Palm Fatty acid distillate is produced as by product. The method of manufacturing of PFAD is as follows: The initial temperature of CPO is raised to 60 – 90°C. . After that‚ there is about 20% of the CPO feed to into the slurry and mix with the bleaching earth (6

three fatty acid chains (carboxylic-acids). These undergo a condensation reaction to form a triglyceride-molecule and the by-product‚ three molecules of water [1]. The general structure of triglyceride can be presented below: Where R‚ R’ and R’’ represent particular carbon fatty acid chains. The fatty acid composition is the most important characteristic of the triglyceride. The physical and chemical properties of particular triglycerides depend on the nature and arrangement of these fatty acid

Lauric Acid Lauric acid‚ also known as Dodecanoic Acid‚ was discovered in 1849 by Marrsson T. It was first discovered in Lauraceae seeds‚ but it is also commonly found in soaps‚ vegetable oil‚ coconut oil‚ and breast milk. Lauric Acid is a clear‚ solid compound that is insoluble in water. It also comes in the form of a white powdery substance. The chemical formula is C12H24O2. It has a molecular weight of 200.32 g/mol. Lauric Acid also has a melting point of 44 C and a boiling point of 289.9
