Freie und gebundene Sterine in rohen und raffinierten Palmölen,Teil I: Gehalt und Zusammensetzung der freien Sterine,Sterinester, freien und acylierten Steringlucoside

Free and Bound Sterols in Raw and Refined Palm Oil, Part I: Content and Composition of Sterols, Sterol Esters, Free and Acylated Sterol Glucosides A method for separation and quantitative determination of free sterols, sterol esters, free and acylated sterol glucosides in fats was developed and applied to the investigation of raw and refined palm oil. During refining the content and the composition of all 4 sterol fractions are varying characteristically. Some samples showed an evident increase of the cholesterol level during certain refining steps. Since none of the 4 investigated sterol fractions has such a high cholesterol level, sterols must be present in bound form, which can be liberated during refining and can be determined afterwards by conventional test methods.     

Synthese,Struktur und photophysikalische Eigenschaften von polyarylierten Imidazolen und Oxazolen

Synthesis, Structure, and Photophysical Properties of Polyarylated Imidazoles and Oxazoles 23 tetraphenylimidazoles 1,2 and 11 triphenyloxazoles 4,5 with amino, nitro, methoxy, hydroxy, or halogeno substituents chiefly in the para position were prepared. The absorption and fluorescence emission properties were investigated in ethanolic solution. The effects of the substituents in 1,2 on the spectral shifts show that the arrangement of the phenyl rings in 1 position is not coplanar in relation to the heterocycle whereas the phenyl rings in 2 position are more coplanar. The spectral changes of compound 2a in solvents of various polarity (dielectric constants 2,02–47,24) are almost negligible. The Stokes shift is moderately increased. A remarkable increase in the fluorescence quantum yield is observed by chlorine substitution in phenyl ring 2.
