In this study, a continuous-flow bioreactor packed with well-organized lipase microarrays
was developed for the sustainable synthesis of functional lipid-phytosterol esters (PEs) …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have proven to be a promising alternative to traditional chiral selectors in
chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE). However, the number of IL-type chiral selectors …

Phytosterols are a class of plant-derived steroids that possess a variety of health benefits.
However, their application is limited by inadequate oil solubility and limited bioaccessibility …

BACKGROUND α‐Lipoic acid has excellent antioxidant activity, but its poor lipid solubility
greatly limits its practical application. This study was undertaken (i) to develop a novel and …
