Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Conformational analysis of modeledcis‐unsaturated chains in triunsaturated and symmetrical monounsaturated triglycerides has identified pseudo‐linear chain orientations that allow lower molecular mechanical energies than are possible with conventionalcis‐chains. Energy plots recorded during bond rotations near the double bond show that energy barriers between linear and normalcis‐configurations are often less than 5 Kcal/mol. Pseudo‐linear orientations, which allow compatible side‐by‐side packing of saturated and unsaturated chains in double‐chainlength mixed triglycerides, also provide a route for efficient transformation between double‐chainlength and triple‐chainlength configurations in solid polymorphic triglycerides.
