The values obtained by this method showed close agreement with PV (JOCS acetic acid-isooctane method) of oils extracted from dressings and edible oils used in the preparation of dressings. The method was found applicable to the simple determination of PV for very small samples, food emulsions, edible oils and fatty acids. The solvent of this method (ethanol: 1-butanol=6:4 vol/vol) may be reused by distillation under reduced presspre followed by additional distillation at atmospheric pressure. Samples and reagents for PV measurement are required in lesser amounts, and solvent retrieval is possible. These features show the method to be environmentally friendly.","PeriodicalId":16191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japan Oil Chemists Society","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87481019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a structure-activity relationship, 2-arachidonoylglycerol was concluded a natural ligand for the CB1 receptor or CB2 receptor and both of which are primarily 2arachidonoylglycerol receptors. 2-Arachidonoylglycerol is a degradation product of inositol phospholipids in stimulated tissue. The CB1 receptor is involved in attenuation of the neurotransmission; 2-arachidonoylglycerol, produced and released on neuronal excitation, may possibly be essential for the slowing of neurotransmission. 2-Arachidonoylglycerol may also have important roles in the cardiovascular and immune systems, but this remains to be confirmed. A complete understanding of the physiological roles of 2-arachidonoylglycerol, a novel lipid mediator, awaits future studies.","PeriodicalId":16191,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Japan Oil Chemists Society","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82181977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The amount of LauOH was found the most important factor in the alcoholysis, and a larger amount of LauOH was effective for the enrichment of E-DHA. In this study, the amount was fixed at 7 molar equivalents for ethyl esters originating from tuna oil (E-DHA55; E-DHA content, 54.6mol%). A substrate mixture of E-DHA55/LauOH was introduced into a column packed with 8.0g of immobilized Rhizomucor lipase (22×63mm) at 30°C and a flow rate of 10mL/h (8.3g/h). E-DHA content increased to 87mol% with 58% alcoholysis. Even after 150 d, E-DHA content increased to 85mol%, although alcoholysis decreased to 48%. The half life of the lipase was determined as 150 d based on decrease in alcoholysis in the batch reaction. The reaction mixture flowing from the column was applied to film distillation, and unreacted ethyl esters were recovered in 82% yield. The ethyl ester fraction was contaminated with 2.4wt% LauOH and 6.3wt% lauryl esters, and lauryl esters could be completely removed by urea adduct fractionation.
