The percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in the monoglyceride fraction is determined after silylation by capillary-column gas chromatography. |
The individual monoglycerides are identified from their retention times and by comparison with those obtained for standard monoglyceride mixtures under the same conditions. |
Without water, the stearic acid monoglyceride formed degraded products such as stearoyloxyethylene carbonate, stearic acid diglyceride, and stearic acid triglyceride. |
This conjecture led him to synthesize many new fats, while coining the terms monoglyceride, diglyceride, and triglyceride. |
