In the present work, monoacylglycerol derivatives, i.e., 1-monomyristin, 2-monomyristin, and 2-monopalmitin were successfully prepared from commercially available myristic acid and palmitic acid. The 1-monomyristin compound was prepared through a transesterification reaction between ethyl myristate and 1,2-O-isopropylidene glycerol, which was obtained from the protection of glycerol with acetone, then followed by deprotection using Amberlyst-15. On the other hand, 2-monoacylglycerol derivatives were prepared through enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides in the presence of Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase enzymes. The synthesized products were analyzed using fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer, gas or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS or LC-MS), and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (1H- and13C-NMR) spectrometers. It was found that monomyristin showed high antibacterial and antifungal activities, while 2-monopalmitin did not show any activity at all. The 1-monomyristin compound showed higher antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and also higher antifungal activity against Candida albicans compared to the positive control. Meanwhile, 2-monomyristin showed high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. The effect of the acyl position and carbon chains towards antibacterial and antifungal activities was discussed.
Preparation of diacid 1,3-diacylglycerols

experimental part, p. 1281 - 1291 (2011/08/21)
A complete methodology (including synthesis, purification and analysis) for the preparation of 1,3-DAG is described. For a successful synthesis project, the strengths and weaknesses of each particular process should be taken into account and measures taken to offset or balance potential weaknesses. To this end, we describe some of the challenges associated with: chemically and enzymatically catalyzed acylglycerol syntheses; recrystallization and flash chromatography for purification of partial acylglycerols; and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) separation of DAG. For this work, 1-MAG intermediates and subsequent diacid 1,3-DAG were prepared using non-enzymatic methods, whereas, monoacid 1,3-DAG were prepared by enzymatic methods. It was not always possible to obtain pure samples of target compounds-in recrystallizations this is due to solid solution formation and co-crystallization and in chromatographic separations it is due to co-elution of components with similar Rf. Furthermore, TLC Rf of DAG is determined by two main factors: acyl chain length and positional isomerism. Interestingly, while the role of positional isomerism is well-known, the role of acyl chain length in these separations has only recently come to light.
Study of the effect of DATEM. 1. Influence of fatty acid chain length on rheology and baking

To answer the question of which fatty acid residue is the most effective, diacetyltartaric esters of monoglycerides (DATEMs) with fatty acids of chain lengths 6:0-20:0 were synthesized. The activity of synthesized DATEMs and commercial DATEM products was studied by means of rheological methods and a microscale baking test with 10 g of flour. Variation of the acyl residue from 6:0 to 22:0 showed that stearic acid (18:0) had the best effect on the baking activity of DATEM (loaf volume increased by 62%). DATEMs containing unsaturated fatty acids (18:1, 18:2) or DATEMs produced from diacylglycerols instead of monoacylglycerols showed a slight increase of the loaf volumes. A slight effect of DATEM on the rheology of dough was observed. However, much greater was the effect on the gluten isolated from doughs prepared with DATEM. The resistance of gluten to extension was increased after the addition of increasing amounts of DATEM (0.1-0.5%). Within the series of DATEMs derived from the homologous series of monoacylglycerols the product based on glycerol monostearate (18:0) showed a maximum increase of the gluten resistance.
