TAG (MLM) with medium-chain FA (MCFA) at the 1,3-positions and long-chain FA (LCFA) at the 2-position, and TAG (LMM) with
LCFA at the 1(3)-position and MCFA at 2,3(1)-positions are a pair of TAG regioisomers. Large-scale preparation of the two
TAG regioisomers was attempted. A commercially available FFA mixture (FFA-CLA) containing 9-cis, 11-trans (9c, 11t)- and 10t,12c-CLA was selected as LCFA, and caprylic acid (C8FA) was selected as MCFA. The MLM isomer was synthesized by acidolysis of acyglycerols (AG) containing two CLA isomers with
C8FA: A mixture of AG-CLA/C8 FA (1∶10, mol/mol) and 4 wt% immobilized Rhizomucor miehei lipase was agitated at 30°C for 72 h. The ratio of MLM to total AG was 51.1 wt%. Meanwhile, LMM isomer was synthesized by
acidolysis of tricaprylin with FFA-CLA: A mixture of tricaprylin/FFA-CLA (1∶2, mol/mol) and 4 wt% immobilized R. miehei lipase was agitated at 30°C for 24 h. The ratio of LMM to total AG was 51.8 wt%. MLM and LMM were purified from 1,968 and
813 g reaction mixtures by stepwise short-path distillation, respectively. Consequently, MLM was purified to 92.3% with 49.1%
recovery, and LMM was purified to 93.2% with 52.3% recovery. Regiospecific analyses of MLM and LMM indicated that the 2-positions
of MLM and LMM were 95.1 mol% LCFA and 98.3 mol% C8 FA, respectively. The results showed that a process comprising lipase reaction and short-path distillation is effective for
large-scale preparation of high-purity regiospecific TAG isomers. 相似文献
Thraustochytrids, marine protists whose dominant genera are Thraustochytrium and Schizochytrium, belong to the kingdom Chromista and are known as an industrial source of DHA. We describe here that thraustochytrid strain
KH105, isolated as a DHA producer, also accumulates significant levels of β-carotene and xanthophylls including canthaxanthin
and astaxanthin. A4-d cultivation using a medium composed of 10% glucose and less than 0.3% of nitrogen sources in a half-concentration
of seawater gave an astaxanthin production up to 6.1 mg/L, and canthaxanthin content reached more than 10 mg/L under conditions
where a higher concentration of nitrogen sources (6%) was employed. It might be advantageous in mass production systems for
these carotenoids to be extracted readily by simply suspending the cells with organic solvents such as acetone and chloroform.
Analyses on the morphological and life history features of the KH105 strain revealed that it belongs to the genus Schizochytrium. This particular species of thraustochytrids is thus considered to be a promising source of xanthophylls as well as DHA for
use in the food industry. 相似文献
Thermal decomposition of titanium(IV) tetra-tert-butoxide (TTB) in inert organic solvents at 573 K yielded microcrystalline
anatase (titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2) powders with a crystallite size of ca. 9 nm and a surface area of <100 m2 g-1. Primary and secondary alkoxides of titanium(IV), however, were not decomposed under similar conditions, indicating that
the thermal stability of C-O bonds in the alkoxides was a decisive factor for their decomposition. The TiO2 prepared from TTB by this manner was thermally stable upon calcination in air and retained high surface area of ca. 100 m2 g-1 even after calcination at 823 K. The as-prepared TiO2 powders, without calcination, exhibited much higher rate of carbon dioxide formation than any other active photocatalysts
such as Degussa P-25 and Ishihara ST-01 in the photocatalytic mineralization of acetic acid in aerated aqueous solutions.
The higher activity of the present TiO2 photocatalysts is attributed to both high crystallinity and large surface of the present product. The calcination of the
as-prepared TiO2 in air reduced the photocatalytic activity, but it was still higher than the other commercially available TiO2's.

To understand the mechanism of the antioxidant effect of chlorophyll on the autoxidation of oils in the dark, antioxidant
activities of several derivatives of chlorophyll were compared. Antioxidant activities were observed in chlorophyll derivatives
such as protopor-phyrin methyl ester and its magnesium chelated compound. Porphyrin seems to be an essential chemical structure
for the antioxidant activity of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll did not decompose the hydroperoxides, but reduced free radicals such
as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl. Electron spin resonance spectrum of the π-cation radical was recorded during the oxidation
of chlorophyll in methyl linoleate solution. These observations suggest that chlorophyll may act as a hydrogen donor to break
the chain reaction. 相似文献
The oxidative coupling of methane has been tested over alkali- and alkaline earth-phosphate catalysts at 700 and 775 °C with and without the introduction of a small quantity of tetrachloromethane (TCM) to the feedstream. In general, the conversion of methane was enhanced by the addition of TCM but the effect on selectivity was dependent on the catalyst being examined. The selectivity to C2 and higher hydrocarbons and that to oxidation products have been shown to have a dependence on the cation radius/charge ratio. 相似文献
PMMA, poly(metheylmethacrylate), nanocomposites were made by in situ radical polymerization of MMA, methylmethacrylate, with colloidal silica (ca. 12 nm) to study the effects of nanoscale silica particles on the physical properties and flammability properties of PMMA. Transparent samples resulted and the dispersity of the particles was examined by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The addition of nanosilica particles (13% by mass) did not significantly change the thermal stability, but it made a small improvement in modulus, and it reduced the peak heat release rate roughly 50%. Last, the flame‐retardant mechanism provided by the addition of nanosilica particles in PMMA is discussed. Published 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2072–2078, 2003 相似文献
The thermal response and oxidation of Tyranno™ Lox-M fiber-reinforced Si-Ti-C-O matrix composites in high-enthalpy dissociated air was investigated in an arc jet facility (an arc wind tunnel). The maximum surface temperature reached 1310–1670°C. Catalytic recombination of oxygen and nitrogen on the composite surface under dissociated air was not significant. Surface recession was insignificant below 1600°C surface temperatures and above 5 kPa of oxygen partial pressure at the stagnation point. Passive-to-active oxidation transition of the composite agreed with Balat's theory for monolithic silicon carbide. A glass sealant prevented active oxidation of the composite for short-time exposures. 相似文献
The formation of lead tantalates in the PbO-rich region is studied using the powders prepared by the simultaneous hydrolysis of lead and tantalum alkoxides. Cubic 3PbO · 2Ta2O5 solid solutions crystallize at low temperatures from amorphous materials between 60 and 75 mol% PbO. The lattice parameter,a, increases linearly from 1.0545 to 1.0705 nm with increasing PbO. At higher temperatures the solid solutions above 66.67 mol% PbO are transformed into those of rhombohedral 2PbO · Ta2O5. Rhombohedral 5PbO · 2Ta2O5 is formed at 850 to 900 °C by transformation of 2PbO·Ta2O5 solid solution corresponding to 71.43 mol% PbO. The existence of previously reported 3PbO·Ta2O5 is not confirmed. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose a new video conferencing system that presents correct gaze directions of a remote user by switching among images obtained from multiple cameras embedded in a screen according to a local user’s position. Our proposed method reproduces a situation like that in which the remote user is in the same space as the local user. The position of the remote user to be displayed on the screen is determined so that the positional relationship between the users is reproduced. The system selects one of the embedded cameras whose viewing direction towards the remote user is the closest to the local user’s viewing direction to the remote user’s image on the screen. As a result of quantitative evaluation, we confirmed that, in comparison with the case using a single camera, the accuracy of gaze estimation was improved by switching among the cameras according to the position of the local user.
