Abstract

Abstract A series of symmetrical (ABA) and non-symmetrical (AAB) triacylglycerol (TAG) isomers containing “A,” palmitic (P; 16: 0) acid, and “B,” either oleic (O; 9c-18: 1), elaidic (E; 9t-18: 1), linoleic (L; 9c, 12c-18: 2) or linolenic (Ln; 9c, 12c, 15c-18: 3) fatty acids were synthesized by esterification of the thermodynamically more-stable 1, 3-di-or 1 (3)- monoacylglycerols [1, 3-DAG or 1 (3)-MAG], respectively. 1, 3-dipalmitoylglycerol (1, 3P- ...
