During the last decade, major scientific advances on understanding the mechanisms of lipid
digestion and metabolism have been made, with a view to addressing health issues (such …

Oleosomes are natural oil droplets, abundant in plants and more specifically in seeds,
composing 20–50 wt% of their mass. The structure of oleosomes is the mechanism that …

Background Oleosomes, widely found in plants, mammals, and microorganisms to act as an
energy reservoir for future needs, are a micron-or submicron-sized system of oil droplets …

The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is known to inhabit various lipid-containing
environments. One of the most striking features in this yeast is the presence of several …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous cellular organelles for lipid storage which are composed
of a neutral lipid core bounded by a protein decorated phospholipid monolayer. Although …

When grown for energy production instead for smoking, tobacco can generate a large
amount of inexpensive biomass more efficiently than almost any other agricultural crop …

Extraction has been used probably since the discovery of fire. Egyptians and Phoenicians,
Jews and Arabs, Indians and Chinese, Greeks and Romans, and even Mayans and Aztecs …

Abstract Background Caleosin/peroxygenases (CLO/PXGs) are a family of multifunctional
proteins that are ubiquitous in land plants and are also found in some fungi and green …

This review discusses the (soft matter) physics of food. Although food is generally not
considered as a typical model system for fundamental (soft matter) physics, a number of …

Hydrophobic storage neutral lipids are stably preserved in specialized organelles termed oil
bodies in the aqueous cytosolic compartment of plant cells via encapsulation with surfactant …
