The Brazilian rainforest is a rich source of exotic fats. The physical and chemical properties of such fats are not well-known. This article looks at the physicochemical characterization of two fats from the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest: licuri oil and ucuuba butter.

Mucosal membranes act as a network that provides a connection between the gut and vital organs, like the lungs or the brain, but presumably the entire body. Short-chain fatty acids are formed in the colon through the fermentation of soluble fiber, and researchers are interested in finding out more about their role as signaling compounds. More research is needed to decisively say that one diet is better for the microbiome over another.

Lipid droplets kill pathogens and serve a crucial role in the body’s immune response. Their accumulation inside the kidney cells could protect the renal system from the damaging effects of a high-fat diet. These findings prove that lipid droplets serve a far greater purpose in the body than once imaged, opening the door for further investigations and possible treatment applications.

The progressive reduction of the permitted content of 1,4-dioxane in ethoxy sulphates presents an increased challenge for surfactant producers. This article discusses technical solutions that can be put in place based on the chemistry of the 1,4-dioxane molecule and its formation mechanism during surfactant production. Desmet Ballestra’s “ultra-low dioxane technology” is discussed in detail, with emphasis on the technical features, advantages, and achievable quality. Technologies for 1,4-dioxane degradation and disposal into water effluent streams are also illustrated.

Phospholipids from natural sources can delay liquid-liquid phase separation and improve supersaturation for active pharmaceutical ingredients with poor water-solubility in aqueous media. Researchers have developed oral films containing phospholipids to enhance the dissolution efficiency of hydrophobic pharmaceutical ingredients. Phospholipid-based oral films provide an alternative approach for compounding pharmacies to formulate drugs with poor water solubility.

More than 65 different fatty acids, including positional and geometric fatty acid isomers, have been reported in humans. These isomers have the same molecular mass and very similar chemical structures but can have very different biological functions. The large number of cis- and trans-isomers in human blood pose analytical challenges and require detailed investigations to appropriately determine their effects on health and changes in the amount and composition in people. Silver ion chromatography, a technology used to separate complex fatty acid mixtures, in combination with an expanded version of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS) method for fatty acids can effectively separate cis- and trans-fatty acid isomers. This approach has potential for determining comprehensive trans-fatty acid profiles in people.
