Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a natural component of edible oils with metabolic characteristics distinct from those of triacylglycerol (TAG). Consumption of DAG oil (containing > 80% DAG) induces greater fat oxidation than consumption of TAG oil. We compared the effects of 4 days of DAG oil consumption with those of TAG oil consumption on total and dietary fat oxidation over 24 h in overweight women using a whole-room respiratory chamber. Overweight (BMI (kg/m²) ≥ 25) females participated in this double-blind, crossover-controlled trial. The subjects consumed test diets containing either TAG or DAG oil as 15% of their total caloric intake (mean test oil intake was 33.0 ± 3.1 g/day) during each 4-day treatment. Fat oxidation and energy expenditure were measured in a respiratory chamber on the 4th day of each treatment. Compared with TAG oil, DAG oil consumption significantly increased total fat oxidation and dietary fat oxidation in overweight subjects. Total energy expenditure (TEE) and carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation did not significantly differ between DAG oil and TAG oil consumption in overweight subjects. Compared with TAG oil, DAG oil consumption enhanced total fat oxidation and dietary fat oxidation in overweight subjects. The enhanced fat metabolism in overweight subjects that consumed DAG oil partly explains the greater loss of body weight and body fat related to DAG oil consumption in weight-loss studies.

Compared to lard-based shortenings, diacylglycerol (DAG)-based shortenings have demonstrated beneficial effects, such as lowering blood lipids, and reducing postprandial blood glucose levels. In this study, different chain-length DAG oils were blended with lower melting point peanut oil DAG oil (PO-DAG-oil). The blend ratios for the three types of DAG-based shortenings were determined based on the solid fat content (SFC) of lard.

Acetyl-TAG (3-acetyl-1,2-diacylglycerol), unique triacylglycerols (TAG) possessing an acetate group at the -3 position, exhibit valuable properties, such as reduced viscosity and freezing points. Previous attempts to engineer acetyl-TAG production in oilseed crops did not achieve the high levels found in naturally producing seeds. Here, we demonstrate the successful generation of camelina and pennycress transgenic lines accumulating nearly pure acetyl-TAG at 93 mol% and 98 mol%, respectively.

Virgin olive oil (VOO) quality is defined by both chemical and sensory parameters. While the chemical parameters are objective and measured using instrument-based methods, sensory quality evaluation is based upon human panels, which can be subjective, have less repeatability, suffer from fatigue, and require long and costly training. Tasting biases could be minimized by a trained panel, but using humans as a testing instrument is inevitably prone to various psychological biases, stimulus-related factors, and carry-over effects.
