Molecular Species of Triglycerides in Safflower Oil

Abstract

"Triglyceride molecular species of safflower oil was examined from the profiles of trigiy ceride composition and the fatty acid at fi-position of glycerol. From the results, triglyc erides were found to be 26kinds in safflower oil. The major triglyceride molecular species in safflower oil were identified to be PLL; 10.4 %, OLL; 22. 3%, LLL; 31.95%. Triglyceride molecular species of safflower oil characterzied that species occupied by unsaturated fatty acids at p-position were more than 90%. "
