BIOFUELS FROM COCONUT FAT AND SOYBEAN OIL: MICROWAVE-ASSISTED SYNTHESIS AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY ANALYSIS

BIOFUELS FROM COCONUT FAT AND SOYBEAN OIL: MICROWAVE-ASSISTED SYNTHESIS AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/MASS SPECTROMETRY ANALYSIS

We developed a project during an undergraduate course (advanced experimental chemistry) on the microwave-assisted synthesis of biodiesel (BD), via base-catalyzed transesterification of coconut fat (CF) and soybean oil (SO) by ethanol, followed by product analysis by cardboard sweet stand gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.Our goals were to introd

An ER Protein Functionally Couples Neutral Lipid Metabolism on Lipid Droplets to Membrane Lipid Synthesis in the ER

Eukaryotic cells store neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs).Here, we have addressed how LDs are functionally pineapple polly pocket linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).We show that, in S.cerevisiae, LD growth is sustained by LD-localized enzymes.When LDs grow in early stationary phase, the diacylglycerol acyl-tr
