Corn oil is a kind of vegetable oil extracted from corn germ. Corn oil is mainly used as a carrier and solvent in scientific research.

Cottonseed oil, a cooking oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plants, has been considered the most insecticidal of vegetable oils.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, a compound consisting of triglycerides and esters derived from fractionated vegetable oil, and fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils, serves as a food additive and is utilized in cosmetics. This substance demonstrates outstanding oxidation stability.

Ethylene thiourea (NCIC03372) is a pesticide used in fruit and vegetable production. Ethylene thiourea is also used as a novel contrast agent for MRI studies based on proton chemical exchange-dependent saturation transfer.

Oleic acid (Glycon Wo) is a natural product, a common monounsaturated fatty acid found in a variety of animal and vegetable fats and oils. Palmitic acid is a Na+/K+ ATPase activator.

Buprofezin (Applaud) is an insecticide used for control of insect pests such as mealybugs, leafhoppers and whitefly on vegetable crops.

Propyl gallate (Gallic acid propyl esterZ) is an antioxidant used in foods especially animal fats and vegetable oils, also in a wide variety of cosmetics and beauty care products.

Arachidic acid (Icosanoic Acid) is a saturated fatty acid found naturally in fish and vegetable oils (such as those from peanuts). It can also be formed by the hydrogenation of arachidonic acid. Diets rich in saturated fatty acids, such as arachidic acid, are known to increase serum low-density lipoproteins resulting in high blood cholesterol levels.

Linoleic acid (9,12-octadecadienoic acid) is a naturally occurring polyunsaturated fatty acid found in animal and vegetable oils. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that is part of membrane phospholipids.

Triarachidin (1,2,3-Trieicosanoyl Glycerol) is a triarachidic acid triglyceride. Triglycerides (TGs) are also known as triacylglycerols or triacylglycerides. TGs are the main constituent of vegetable oil and animal fats. TGs are major components of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons, play an important role in metabolism as energy sources and transporters of dietary fat. They contain more than twice the energy (9 kcal/g) of carbohydrates and proteins.

Palmitodiolein is a triacylglycerol existed in vegetable oils.

Squalane is a lipid found in some fish oils (especially shark liver oil) and some vegetable oils. It has anticancer and antioxidant properties and is used as a skin moisturizer and emollient.

7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-Octadecenoic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid and metabolite of oleic acid that is produced byP. aeruginosafrom vegetable oils.1It is active against the food-borne pathogenic bacteriaS. aureus,S. typhimurium,L. monocytogenes,B. subtilis, andE. coli(MIC50s = 31.3, 125, 125, 62.5, and 250 μg/ml, respectively), as well as the plant pathogenic bacteriaErwinia,R. solanacearum,C. glutamicum, andP. syringae(MIC90s = 125, 125, 250, and 500 μg/ml, respectively).2,1 1.Sohn, H.-R., Bae, J.-H., Hou, C.T., et al.Antibacterial activity of a 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid against plant pathogenic bacteriaEnzyme Microb.

Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is a cholesterol ester (CE) formed by the condensation of cholesterol with heptadecanoic acid, a C-17 saturated fatty acid that does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at high concentrations. As such, it is commonly used as an internal standard for the quantification of cholesterol esters by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. CEs are major constituents of lipoprotein particles carried in blood and accumulate in the fatty acid lesions of atherosclerotic plaques. CEs of various fatty acids are major constituents of murine and human adrenal glands.

Steryl glucosides are neutral glycolipids commonly found in plant cell membranes and vegetable oils that contain a glucose moiety conjugated to a sterol lipid. They function as glucose donors in the biosynthesis of glucocerebrosides in plant microsomes and are metabolic precursors to acylated/esterified steryl glucosides. Steryl glucosides are the major component of filter- and engine-damaging precipitates formed during biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils. This product contains a mixture of steryl glucosides.
