Existing liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry method for the analysis of short chain carboxylic acids was expanded and validated to cover also the measurement of glycerol from oils and fats. The method employs chloride anion attachment and two ions, [glycerol+Cl] and [glycerol+Cl], as alternative quantifiers for improved selectivity of glycerol measurement. The averaged within run precision, between run precision and accuracy ranged between 0.3-7%, 0.4-6% and 94-99%, respectively, depending on the analyte ion and sample matrix. Selected renewable diesel feedstocks were analyzed with the method.

The formation of metal soaps or carboxylates in oil paintings is a widely studied topic. Expanding upon the extant research on the subject, this work investigates the formation of metal soaps as pertaining to alkyd-based media. Especially popular in modern and contemporary art, alkyd paints are complex commercial formulations mainly containing a polyester backbone obtained by the condensation of glycerol and phthalic acids, where the third free alcoholic function is esterified with a blend of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) and surface-coated microspheres to improve the oral bioavailability of niclosamide.
Methods: A solubility screening study showed that liquid SNEDDS, prepared using an optimized volume ratio of corn oil, Cremophor RH40, and Tween 80 (20:24:56), formed nanoemulsions with the smallest droplet size. Niclosamide was incorporated into this liquid SNEDDS and spray-dried with calcium silicate to produce solid SNEDDS.

The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, causing substantial economic losses due to its resistance to conventional acaricides. There is an urgent need to identify safe and effective new acaricidal agents. Essential oils and their volatile compounds are promising alternatives.

Monochloropropanol esters (MCPDE) might pose a risk to human health are often present in thermally processed foods. The effect of 20 amino acids on the formation of MCPDE was examined in a palm oil model reaction. The findings indicated that glutamic and aminoadipic acids markedly enhance formation of MCPDE.

Glycerol core aldehydes (GCAs) are significant nonvolatile aldehyde compounds generated in heated edible oils, which may pose potential health risks. Utilizing the complementary CID and EAD mass spectrometry data, this study introduced a predict-to-hit strategy, identifying 42 types of GCAs from oxidized OOO, LLL, and LnLnLn. Structural analysis revealed that oxidation occurred at both the sn-2 and sn-1/3 positions of triglyceride (TG), with the Sn-1/3 position exhibiting greater susceptibility as the degree of TG unsaturation increased.
