Abstract: In the present work, a surfactant-assisted convenient extraction method was developed for the isolation of trimyristin from nutmeg. Commercially available monomeric surfactants and novel readily synthesized cationic dimeric surfactants were used as auxiliary chemicals. The improved isolation method herein revealed that the combination of dimeric surfactant with n-hexane allows selective extraction (without colored polar components of nutmeg) and maximum yield of triglyceride. Besides, the developed method is more practical than existing protocols and provides higher yields of trimyristin in a short period. Keywords: Nutmeg, triglycerides, surfactant-assisted extraction, renewable materials. Submitted: August 16, 2019. Accepted: May 18, 2020.

For this purpose, three different vegetables oils were chosen (soybean oil, canola and olive) and their TAG's profiles were estimated using the ECN 42 generalized method. The ECF methodology estimates the properties of TAG's from their fragment composition and spe- cific parameters of each property, which are adjusted using experimental information available in literature. The average relative errors of calculated properties were between 1 and 32% depending on the oil and the property. These errors were significantly lower than those obtained using the Aspen HYSYS commercial software, which oscillates between 70 and 100%. Additionally, by extrapolating the constituent fragments methodology a method for calculating boiling temperatures of TAG's with average relative errors of ~1% was proposed. The calculations of properties for the ECF method were performed using the OIL-CALPROP software developed specifically for this purpose.

    448 Indo. J. Chem., 2008, 8 (3), 448 - 453 PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LIPASE FROM COCOA BEANS (Theobroma cacao. L.) OF CLONE PBC 159 Ratna Agung Samsumaharto Faculty of Biology, Setia Budi University, Jl. Let. Jend. Sutoyo Mojosongo – Surakarta 57127 Received 3 April 2008; Accepted 15 October 2008 ABSTRACT A study was carried out to characterize the cocoa lipase from cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao, L.) of clone PBC 159. The optimum temperature of cocoa lipase was 30-40 °C and the pH optimum was 7.0-8.0. The moleculer weight of the lipase enzyme was in between 45-66 kDa. The results indicate that Km value for cocoa bean lipase was 2.63 mM, when trimyristin was used as a substrate. The incubation of cocoa bean lipase with triolein and tributyrin (as substrate) yielded Km of 11.24 and 35.71 mM, respectively. The Vmax value obtained from the incubation of the lipase with a wide range of substrates, including tributyrin, trimyristin and triolein, are expressed as µmole acid/min/mg protein for cocoa lipase. Vmax values decreased with the increase in the triacylglycerol chain-length, with Vmax values of 27.78, 13.16 and 11.63 µmole acid/min/mg protein when incubated with tributyrin, trimyristin and triolein, respectively. Inhibition of lipase occurred in the presence of diisopropyl flourophosphate, N- bromosuccinimide and 5,5-dithiobis-(-2-nitrobenzoic acid). Keywords: characterization, lipase, cocoa beans INTRODUCTION According to Hassan [8] the lipase showed that the optimum temperature for oil palm mesocarp lipase Lipases are ester hydrolases or esterases since activity range between 20.0 to 32.5 °C.

  • Lipid Insights Encapsulation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Esters with Solid Lipid Particles
    Lipid Insights OPEN ACCESS Full open access to this and thousands of other papers at SHORT REPORT http://www.la-press.com. Encapsulation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Esters with Solid Lipid Particles Ronald Holser Russell Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Athens, Georgia, USA. Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: Encapsulation of structurally sensitive compounds within a solid lipid matrix provides a barrier to prooxidant compounds and effectively limits the extent of oxidative degradation. This offers a simple approach to preserve the bioactivity of labile structures. The technology was developed for cosmetic and pharmaceutical products but may be applied to additives used in food and feed formulations. The encapsulation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) was examined as model compounds of current interest in functional foods and feeds. Solid lipid particles were prepared from triglycerides containing saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. The thermal characteristics of the lipids used to form the particle were related to molecular structure and could be adjusted by selection of the appropriate component fatty acids. Encapsulation by solid lipid particles provides a method to inhibit oxidation and improve shelf life of products formulated with DHA and ALA.

Saturated monoacid TAGs, like trilaurin, are considered as models for TAG crystallization; however, there is still debate about the number of their polymorphs that exist. In this study, we characterized a set of novel polymorphs, β forms of saturated monoacid TAGs, which were obtained via different pathways depending on the crystallization history, by polarized light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. Saturated monoacid TAGs were crystallized as the unstable polymorphs, the α or β’ forms first, and then they were transformed into β forms by solid–solid transformations.

It could be relevant for the uptake and metabolism of triacylglycerol-derived metabolites by extrahepatic tissues. Design: Patients were assigned to the diets in a random-order sequence. Subjects: The participants were 24 hypertensive patients recruited from a religious community. Interventions: The study was conducted over two four week periods with a four week washout period between both MUFA diets. Results: Dietary olive oil kept in balance the content of saturated fatty acids and decreased the content of arachidonic acid in VLDL triacylglycerols. HOSO diet reduced the content of palmitic acid and increased the content of linoleic acid. There was also a decrease in trioleate-glycerol and an increase in tripalmitate-glycerol of VLDL after the MUFA diets, but these effects were more pronounced in the HOSO group. Intake of olive oil decreased the content of disaturated triacylglycerols and increased the content of dioleate-containing triacylgly- cerols. A decrease in palmitate-dioleate-glycerol after dietary HOSO was observed.

  • TRIMYRISTIN EXTRACTION from NUTMEG Douglas G. Balmer
    NATURAL PRODUCT ISOLATION: TRIMYRISTIN EXTRACTION FROM NUTMEG Douglas G. Balmer (T.A. Mike Hall) Dr. Dailey Submitted 15 August 2007 Balmer 1 Introduction : The purpose of this experiment is to isolate trimyristin from nutmeg. This is an atypical natural product extraction. Most extractions are more complex, since a variety of products are extracted in the solvent. In this experiment, relatively pure trimyristin will be isolated. Nutmeg spice comes from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree in the East Indies. Trimyristin is found in the fixed oil of nutmeg. The fixed oil comprises approximately 24-40% of the nutmeg seed. Trimyristin comprises 73% of the fixed oil. Overall, trimyristin should have a percent recovery of 18-29%. 1 Figure 1 shows how trimyristin is triester formed from the dehydration reaction between glycerol and myristic acid.

Experimental Procedure : A reflux apparatus was assembled. A 3.99g sample of nutmeg was placed in the 100mL round-bottom flask with a stirbar. Diethyl ether (20.52mL) was added to the round-bottom flask. The Thermowell heater was set to 30V and the flask was refluxed at a rate of 1drop/2seconds for 30 minutes. The mixture was gravity filtered with fluted, 11cm filter 1 "Nutmeg and derivatives." Sept.
