Abstract

Phospholipids (PLs) are amphiphilic molecules that are in charge of controlling what goes in or out of the cell, keeping up the structure and numerous associated functions. These primary molecules are not only the integral part but also a vastly diverse group of molecules present in microorganisms, plants, and animals. PLs provide rigidity, signal transduction, energy to cells. PLs such as lecithins are molecules of future food, medicine and cosmetic industry. PLs are used in fat and oil refining and these are also used as carriers in drug and drug delivery system. Of course, challenges are there in the assay of phospholipids because of their availability of hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in the same environment. This review is mainly focused to unveil the function, characteristics, features and applications of PLs in various fields.
磷脂——生活世界和非生活世界之间的动态结构;一种在现在和未来都很重要的超分子
磷脂(PL)是两亲性分子,负责控制细胞的进出,保持结构和许多相关功能。这些初级分子不仅是微生物、植物和动物中不可或缺的一部分,而且是一组种类繁多的分子。PLs为细胞提供刚性、信号转导和能量。卵磷脂等PLs是未来食品、医药和化妆品行业的分子。PLs用于油脂精炼,也用作药物和药物输送系统的载体。当然,磷脂的测定存在挑战,因为它们在相同的环境中具有疏水性和亲水性成分。本文主要介绍PLs的功能、特点、特点及其在各个领域的应用。
