Canberra AustraliaBeautiful, quiet, relaxing
We stayed at Baan Luxor for one week I'm September, the villa was great, had everything we needed and Yan was a fabulous host and so helpful. The island tour that we did with Yan was amazing we saw parts of the island we would have never seen otherwise.
The location was great for relaxing away from the major craziness and only a quick taxi ride to be in the middle of things.
I would recommend staying here to anyoneDetailed ratings for this rental

ManamaMy family and I would defintely stay here again.
We stayed at Baan Luxor in July 2013 and we would definitely recommend this Villa. Jan (our host) was waiting to pick us up at the airport on our arrival and took us to the villa. He was very welcoming and on the journey he explained the roads to my husband and where shops etc were. When we arrived at the villa it was beautiful and very clean and we were extremely pleased. Jan left us to settle in then retuned to explain how everything worked and to take my husband to pick up our rental car that he had sorted out for us. Throughout the whole of the holiday jan was extreme helpful answering all out queries and recommending paces to visit and eat. He was an extremely attentative host and very thoughtful. I have recommend him and his villas to friends. All in all we had a brilliant holiday at Baan Luxor.

Beautifully maintained villa in a good location coupled with personal service you can rely on for everything from booking trips to transportation and vast local knowledge. Yan's personal approach, obvious care and attention to detail were second to none. I would recommend Baan Luxor to anyone who wishes to visit Koh Samui.

SingaporeEasy living in Samui...
From the first prompt email reply until the moment we left Baan Luxor, Jan was extremely thoughtful, polite, and helpful. The villa was perfect for our family of 4. Our two older teenage sons enjoyed the spacious accommodation and the joys of wifi. My husband and I enjoyed a peaceful swim and chatting under the shady sala. The villa was very tastefully furnished, and the aircon worked efficiently. We used Jan's taxi service to get into Bophut and Chaweng, which worked well, and also enjoyed Jan's tour around Samui, discovering lots of interesting and beautiful spots off the main tourist track. Jan is a very kind chap. We had never tried durian, and he brought us a piece to try. On the island tour he spent about 10 minutes trying to patiently coax a monkey to return the earring that it had stolen from my ear. Overall we had a very relaxing week, the diving organised from Bophut to sail rock was amazing and we felt very well looked after by Jan and his partner. Thanks for everything Jan!

USABaan Luxar is the place to stay!!
As unseasoned travelors, we picked the perfect place to stay when we booked at Baan Luxar! Besides being perfectly clean (& my standards are high), Yan made us feel at welcome & at home! He was very informative & helpful with anything we needed. Koh Samui is very different than the us & if it weren't for him our trip could have been a bust! It was very bittersweet to leave. I highly recommend his place & would definately stay there again!

UKTranquil and picturesque
We spent the longest period of our honeymoon at the Bann Luxor and to say least, we were not dissapointed. Jan cannot help you enough from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Not only does Jan provide airport pick up and drop off but he also arranged transport, trips and also advice about the whole island. Jan even went as far as to post my iPhone charger back to me in the UK after I stupidly forgot it.
We were definitely made to feel special at this lovely villa with all amenities at your doorstep. The villa is completely modern with everything you would need to stay in touch with reality (which is easily forgotten!).
If I was to say something negative about the Bann Luxur villa it would be that the air-con is only available in the bedrooms and not throughout. Instead you have ceiling fans in the kitchen, dining and living areas which unless you go out every night for a meal, it can get a bit warm if eating in.
We would definitely re visit in a few years to relive our experience! Read moreDetailed ratings for this rental

Response from Jay - 08/30/2012
Owner's response:
Thank you for your kind feedback. The living area downstairs is usually around 28 degrees and ceiling fans make a good job at counteracting humidity that often is felt as hot. But, I agree that especially when cooking that area may feel a bit hot and thank you for pointing this out. I have now ordered an appropriate air-conditioner that shall be installed within days. I hope Baan Luxor, as an air-con throughout place, can now deliver even greater comfort and value to our future guests.

zurichA wounderfull week in your nice villa
First , is to say , that the whole villa was really clean and the stuff in a good condition. The rooms were big, lightfull and loveable to live in them.
The outdoor part , how the pool or the garden area was cool and in a nice condition. We had a lot of fun to hang around and enjoy our freetime. One thing that we a little bit missed, was the thing that the villa is too far away from the beach to go by foot for it, but isn`t a problem if you take the car you will arrive the beach in 10 min. For the service is only to say that it was absloutely awesome. They are so friendley and supportend,helfully and anticipate.Detailed ratings for this rental

My husband and I plus 2 friends have just been to stay at Baan Luxor for a week. The villa itself has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and if it wasnt there Yan will get it for you. The villa is lovely, very clean and modern. Very peaceful surroundings and the pool area is a nice chilling out area. As for the location, its very central for getting about anywhere on the island. Nothing more to say other than great value for money and Yan can't do enough for you.

Excellent Villa...Jan really provides a home away from home.
We stayed for a month in Feb 2012 and could not fault anything.The villa is close to Chaweng for good nights out but far enough away so you can relax when you want.There are some great food stalls within walking distance and it is also located near the wonderful fishermans village (bophut). That was our third trip to Koh Samui and I would highly recommend Baan Luxor and Jan.Detailed ratings for this rental

FranceAbsolute Wonderful Stay!!!
I stayed at Baan Luxor with my husband and two children. From the moment we arrived until the very end, we were made to feel welcome by Yan and his team. The villa was spotless. Everything was in working order and on rare occasion when there was a problem, Yann would come along and fix it immediately. On one day we were being picked up by a bus to take us to the ferry bound for Koh Tao and the bus forgot about us. Yan came to the rescue and took us himself so we wouldn't miss the ferry. If you required anything, Yann and Guy were there to help. We also met some wonderful people during our stay. The villas a wonderful and great for a family with children as it gives you the space to be able to hang out in your villa and supervise your children playing in the pool. Unlike a hotel room where you are all cramped together in one room and would have to eat out every night. At Baan Luxor we could order in from time to time as our kids got bored going to restaurants every night. If you are a family on a budget, it's a better option compared to a hotel. You would have to book either a pool villa or two inter-connecting rooms (if you have kids) and Baan Luxor is way cheaper than that. However, you do need a car if you're staying at Baan Luxor as it's not on the beach side. It didn't worry us at all. I would highly recommend Baan Luxor. Thanks Yan and team for a fabulous stay.

AustraliaPure heaven - we loved it and will definitely return
Our stay at Baan Luxor was absolutely superb. We cannot speak highly enough of the location, the setting and of the hospitality and service supplied by the owner (Jan) during our recent family holiday (2 parents, 1 grandparent and 1 year old baby). The accommodation was absolutely beautiful - it even exceeded our expectations which were already high given what we'd seen on the internet, and the value for money was excellent. The facilities in the house, the stunning surrounds, the gorgeous salt water pool were all just perfect. Jan went out of his way at all times to make sure we had everything we needed. We even had a scare with our baby having a severely high fever and Jan took us straight to the hospital. Jan also provided a cot for our little one so we didn't have to bring a portacot. All the rooms upstairs are airconditioned and were lovely and light. Cleaning was done regularly and very thorough. Only thing that would have topped it off would have been airconditioning downstairs.
The location is nice and quiet - but you do need some sort of transport to get into the nearest town (Chaweng) or to the beach. We hired scooters and used them daily to go shopping etc, and when the whole family went out we would use a taxi (supplied either by Jan or locally). (One way taxi into town or the beach was about 250 baht / $8 - so it adds up. Given the value of the accommodation and the fact you can cook your own food, we just built this into our holiday budget. We were lucky enough that Jan was able to find us a wonderful local lady to help with shopping, cooking and child minding. This topped off our stay making it the most perfect and relaxing holiday we've ever had. We definitely plan to stay there again and have recommended it to all our friends and family.Detailed ratings for this rental

We spent one week at Baan Luxor with our three teenage kids and we all enjoyed it equally! The villas are beautiful, decorated with great taste and sense of detail, very luxurious and functional with enough bed- and bathrooms for a big family.
Yan's service is no less than excellent, he's there to cater for any need or request that you may have!
The location is suitable for a family who wants to be close to everything and yet have privacy. Great luxury to dive into the (big!) infinity pool after a trip to the beach in Chaweng or relax in the private spa on the balcony!
This is an ideal and unique option for a family who wants the freedom to discover the real Koh Samui rather than staying one week in a beach resort. We highly recommend it and will definitely come back!Detailed ratings for this rental

FinlandA superb holiday!!
We (6 adults) stayed in one of the houses for 2 weeks. And what can I say, just perfect holiday. The house was really spacious and extremely clean. I could say that the cleaning was done better than in a 4 or 5-star-hotel. The pool was big and clean like the house. The beds were nice, not too soft or hard, slept like a baby every night. The aircons are really effective and we didn't even have to keep it on in one of the (smaller) bedrooms, we just put the timing on so that it was on only 2-1? hours at night (from 4am to 6am usually). The location was excellent, it's close to shops and all the huzzle and buzzle but still far enough so that it's peaceful around the house. You can walk to Chaweng beach (did that once) but there's no sidewalks so it's pretty dangerous when it get's dark. And besides it's not even expensive to take a taxi so why bother to walk. We also took Jan's island tour and it was well worth it, we can really recommend that! We can't thank Jan and Kai enough for great vacation, they were so helpful and there to make sure we would feel like home. We'll definitedly come back!

Just returned from a month at Baan Luxor and can highly recommend it to anyone wanting a great location, excellent clean accommodation, and wonderfull service from Gai and Yan.
I have travelled to Samui several times, normally staying in Hotels or Boutique Resorts but when travelling with family and friends the comfort security and value for money of Baan Luxor will have me returning to this fabulous location time and time again.
I went wow as soon as I entered the gates with the beautiful garden and swimming pool, then when shown the villa, I knew I had found the holiday rental of my dreams.

We rented this Villa for the month of august 2010. Although a little concerned about the location when we arrived from the airport, we soon discovered that the villa is ideally located to discover some of the best beaches in Samui, aa well as being close enough to the hustle and bustle of Chaweng, when a bit of fun was needed. Yan, the owner of the villa, was always on hand to offer advice, and to solve any problems (very few) we encountered. The pictures of the villa probably don't do it justice, and is in excellent condition, both, inside and out. For the sake of objectivity, I must point out that there are 3 Villas on location, with the pool being shared. During our time there we pretty much had the pool and the pool area to ourselves the whole time, and so cannot say what it would be like if all the villas were occupied, but having the place to ourselves was definitly a 'luxury'. Also,Yan looks after two delightful cats, so if you have a problem with the feline species, I think it's only fair you're aware of this!!
Location, is, as I said ideal, but you will need transport. Car/Jeep hire is cheap in Samui,(mopeds are even cheaper!!) or you can always use Yan as a Taxi service when you don't feel like driving!! (this isn't free by the way, but no more expensive than using a taxi)
Overall, Great Villa. Great location. Great holiday!!Detailed ratings for this rental

Spent a fabulous two weeks at Baan Luxor. Wonderful villa with everything you could need to enjoy a relaxing break in a tropical paradise. Yan was very helpful and I highly recommend his one day tour of the island. We used his services for lifts to the beach, restaurants etc and caught taxis - very easy and stress-free! The pool is gorgeous. Great value for money. Perfect for a family or group of friends. Simply wonderful!

SydneyThe Perfect Holiday
My family and I recently returned home from a fabulous holiday in Thailand. After searching around the internet for accommodation in Koh Samui I came across a little gem called Baan Luxor . I was looking for a private location close enough to town but not too far away. Our villa was spacious, contemporary and very relaxing. As a host,Yan went above and beyond our expectations - he was brilliant. We stayed for 9 glorious days and were very sad when it came time for us to go home. We will be sure to return again very soon & highly recommend the Baan Luxor as the place to saty. Thank you Yan & Kai for our perfect Koh Samui experience.

Baan Luxor is the perfect place to stay, far enough out of the action to get some peace but only a few minutes away from what Koh Samui has to offer. 6 of us stayed at the villa and we all agreed it was perfect. The villa is very spacious so you don't feel on top of each other and it has everything you need with an excellent sound system. The pool area is lovely also and it gets the sun all day. Yan and his partner are very helpful with anything you might need, whether that's a taxi ride, organising trips or hiring mopeds. A vehicle of some sort is useful as there isn't a massive selection of things near the villa but there is a tesco just 5 mins away on a moped. There is a 7/11 store near the villa with a cash machine etc so that was useful. I would recommend the villa to everyone and would certainly stay there again if we ever return to Samui. Excellent!

CanadaAn Oasis in Paradise
We were lucky enough to spend over 7 weeks in Samui at Baan Luxor - and we feel we definitly lucked out with this choice (after lots of looking!). Yan and everyone there was very helpful in every way, from explaining hidden sights/activities on the island to lending us his blender and an old cell phone for our entire stay. The sort of help and friendliness that makes you relize you are not in a resort, more of a smaller, quiet, relaxing place - an Oasis for sure. We had a 2yr old and 9 month old and every one was great with the kids (Crib was supplied). The villa itself was great, new and maintained to the max (inc. the pool). We have no regrets at all about not being on the beachfront, from here you are about 10-15 minutes from several very different beaches so you learn which one suits your preference. Yes, you need to rent a vehicle of some kind but it's cheap! The villa was not perfect for kids, not enough storage/shelves above kid height, not enough hooks and the stairs were long, tiled and steep but these small things, after 7 weeks, are the literally the only things we could think of to improve - pretty minor concerns!
We'd come back again with no concerns at all - enjoy! - Jeff, Sara & Kids (Canada) -

After a booking via Internet without any troubles and perfect information from Yan the owner very soon we started to our Koh Samui trip. Yan took us from the airport on time and was the one for the rest of our trip that we could ask for everything and who always had the time to answer our questions ang giving tips for restaurants or private beaches. it was a stay in a paradise called Baan Luxor with perfect service and perfect relaxing. so if u want to try a piece of paradise mixed with a luxury ambiente i can send u to Baan Luxor with the best advice.

A fantastic villa, very quiet and tranquil location. Pool & veranda amazing and great to relax by whilst catching a few rays. The villa itself is superb, very clean, tidy and most of all modern! Modern fixtures & fittings throughout villa with a great view from the master bedroom. Bedrooms are very comfortable and aircon was excellent. Villa location from beach, restaurants, bars & clubs was no more than 5 minutes in a car. Plenty of taxis & mopeds available so not a problem. Would recommend Baan Luxor to any couple, group or family who want to stay at a safe and private villa. Yan & his staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel very welcome. 10/10 for this place, will definatley be returning in years to come.

512 Tasting Notes
I really did not like this tea.
Maybe it was just the batch I got, or maybe it's just my tastebuds, but it was way more fishy than cinnamon.
Dry it smelled exactly like a cinnamon heart! True to the name I guess haha. I was super excited, but brewed hot, the pu'erh was too fishy for me. Usually I like pu'erh and it doesn't bother me in the slightest, so I'm wondering if it was my batch? The smell was fish, the taste was sort of cinnamon, more earthy. Tried not to smell when I drank it but it didn't help.
Either way, it was a chore to finish the cup and I didn't resteep. I couldn't.
Once it cooled down, it was more cinnamon (I added a little sugar too), but this tea was just not tasting right for me.
Luckily, it was just a 1 teaspoon I got from my mother in law. She was hoping I would take the whole bag off her hands after trying it but I had better not haha n_n;

First of all, I love that this tea has an energy boost. I can hardly taste the mate aftertaste (the only reason I can taste it is because I know it's in there I think!)
I am baffled as to how it tastes like honey. I was going to sweeten this one actually but I totally forgot, and it didn't need it! (Man am I on repeat? haha)
The lemon is very nice too. Not overpowering, just there, like a squeeze of lemon with no harshness or acidity.
It DOES smell like Lush's Honey soap, which might make this a tea I stock up on. It's delicious iced. Very unique flavour in my opinion.
I am not a huge fan of this tea. To me it tastes fuzzy, like I am drinking a bee. Is it better iced than hot?
You know, I don't think I could drink this one hot to be honest. I think it would be too much! I love it iced (not brewed too long), but it doesn't seem like a nice hot tea. I also think I would be reminded of neocitran or something haha. yuck.
So, unhelpful as I am, I'm really not too sure! It might just be a certain taste for certain people, this one def has a strong taste of.. something. haha
This tea is the tastiest most awesome thing ever.
The smell is awesome like caramel popcorn or caramel apples. The apple taste isn't too strong, and the maple taste is just right!
It steeped for a while, maybe too long? I don't know but it was delicious either way. EDIT: Whatever you do, do NOT understeep this tea. You will be cheating yourself of the real flavour.
I LOVE a tea you don't have to put sweetener in but still tastes a bit sweet, and this tea is perfect for that. It tastes just like it smells!
Hum… I do need this one! I've tasted it as a sample and I must say you're right abut the review! This tea is simply delicious straight.
I really shouldn't be writing this note at work, but I'll be doing overtime today anyways so here goes.
I really like this tea! I got it iced in my $1 mug today. The sample with no sweetener was really nice and smooth, but I got a little agave in it on a whim. I usually don't sweeten my iced teas but with a name like Dolce & Banana, it was just asking for it haha.
I have to say, I hate bananas. But carmelized bananas I can go for – which is exactly what this has hints of. They must have steeped it just right because I'm not overwhelmed with chamomile – it's just a great compliment!
Not something I would steep myself or drink hot, but super refreshing and lovely as an iced tea! I reccomend a little sweetener to help bring out the carmel/banana b^_^
EDIT: Plus, "Dulce & Banana", how clever is that name?! haha I'm such a sucker for things with awesome names
I've had this twice iced in my $1 iced tea mug!
I am in love with it. I'm an iced coffee lover, but I have acid reflux, so strong coffee with cream and sugar does not do well for the heartburn situation, no matter how delicious it tastes.
This tea is like a gift from the DavidsTea heavens haha. It's so smooth I've drank it with no cream or sweetener (which I could never do with an iced coffee) and it's SUPER refreshing with that little kick of wake-me-up.
I totally get the hints of almond and caramel in the aftertaste. Everything about this tea is pleasant and I can't wait to stock my shelf and start making refreshing iced "coffees" in the mornings b^_^
Ok I have 3 minutes on my break to add a quick note about my Swampwater!
First of all, I have had this tea for exactly one year. Untouched (kind of). My first and last david's tea purchase until a few months ago in fact! I asked for a tea that would be refreshing as an iced tea and not need any sweetener! So I smelled Swampwater and was in love!
I went home and knew nothing about how to make real iced tea. I had a tiny tea-ball thing (about a tablespoon) that wouldn't be enough for a big batch. So I just dumped some loose tea in thinking I would strain it when it was done. Strain with what? I had nothing. So it was a gross mess full of rooibos that tasted weird because I kept having to pick little things out of my teeth.
One year later! I cold brewed it first overnight in my DT mug at work. It was awesome because it didn't leave the orange ring when cold brewed (which is part of the fun when it's hot!) but tasted very refreshing. I tried it hot the same day and it was fresh and delicious.
So I have to say I am impressed with the freshness after one year, but possibly sadenned because it's no longer on the market? if you find some of this somewhere sometime – try it! It's fun :D
Okay, so after reading all the notes about this tea every day and drooling all over myself, I finally got a cup from the DT at the mall.
As it steeped I thought the aroma was so-so.. nothing too strong. The first few sips burned my mouth but I was anxious haha, and I tasted more coconut than anything (which I LOVE so it's all good)… but then I went down to the cafeteria at my work and added a little sugar and some thick cream. Oh. my God.
I have NEVER tasted a tea this delicious and decedant in my life!
I'm going back tomorrow and buying as much as I can.
Edit: Just bought a 100g tin and can't stop smelling it at work. Delicious distraction.
The first few sips of this tea took some getting used to. After that though, like other comments, the tea was quick smooth and lovely. The first steep I drank with no sweetener. It was quite woody from the mate, but it may have been from the 5 minute reccomended steep time.
I resteeped and added a bit of sweetener. It really didn't need it, the second steep was very smooth but pretty weak. Either way, it did give me some energy and was quite tasty!
Spicy, not a lot of licorice taste, and full bodied. A nice morning cup. Wonderful to smell as well.
I don't mind Goji Pop for sure,
it's refreshing!
But I find fruit teas are usually not my favorite due to their sour-taste. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy! I'll try a little sweetener next time (and can't wait to try the blazing strawberry!)
I too enjoy the summertime flavour of Gogi Pop…but my favourite tea for icing right now is The Blazing Strawberry.
Man why have I waited so long to try Blazing strawberry? Well.. probably because I'm moving as fast as I can out o fmy apartment before we get the apt building's bedbugs/black mold. So far so good, but not enough time for tea, am I right? haha!
It sounds like you have your priorities well in order. Get out of that place! There will be time for tea later :)
No worries, we're out of there this weekend b^_^
At least work gives me time for tea. Work's gotta be good for something. :)

First published in 1945, Bailey's has become the standard reference on the food chemistry and processing technology related to edible oils and the nonedible byproducts derived from oils. This Sixth Edition features new coverage of edible fats and oils and is enhanced by a second volume on oils and oilseeds. This Sixth Edition consists of six volumes: five volumes on edible oils and fats, with still one volume (as in the fifth edition) devoted to nonedible products from oils and fats. Some brand new topics in the sixth edition include: fungal and algal oils, conjugated linoleic acid, coco butter, phytosterols, and plant biotechnology as related to oil production. Now with 75 accessible chapters, each volume contains a self-contained index for that particular volume.

Fatty acids, esterified to glycerol, are the main constituents of oils and fats. The industrial exploitation of oils and fats, both for food and oleochemical products, is based on chemical modification of both the carboxyl and unsaturated groups present in fatty acids. Although the most reactive sites in fatty acids are the carboxyl group and double bonds, methylenes adjacent to them are activated, increasing their reactivity. Only rarely do saturated chains show reactivity. Carboxyl groups and unsaturated centers usually react independently, but when in close proximity, both may react through neighboring group participation. In enzymatic reactions, the reactivity of the carboxyl group can be influenced by the presence of a nearby double bond.
The industrial chemistry of oils and fats is a mature technology, with decades of experience and refinement behind current practices. It is not, however, static. Environmental pressures demand cleaner processes, and there is a market for new products. Current developments are in three areas: "green" chemistry, using cleaner processes, less energy, and renewable resources;enzyme catalyzed reactions, used both as environmentally friendly processes and to produce tailor-made products; and novel chemistry to functionalize the carbon chain, leading to new compounds. Changing perceptions of what is nutritionally desirable in fat-based products also drives changing technology; interesterification is more widely used and may replace partial hydrogenation in the formulation of some modified fats.
The coverage in this chapter is necessarily selective, focusing on aspects of fatty acid and lipid chemistry relevant to the analysis and industrial exploitation of oils and fats. The emphasis is on fatty acids and acylglycerols found in commodity oils and the reactions used in the food and oleochemical industries. The practical application of this chemistry is dealt with in detail in other chapters. Current areas of research, either to improve existing processes or to develop new ones, are also covered, a common theme being the use of chemical and enzyme catalysts. Compounds of second-row transition metals rhodium and ruthenium and the oxides of rhenium and tungsten have attracted particular interest as catalysts for diverse reactions at double bonds. Recent interest in developing novel compounds by functionalizing the fatty acid chain is also mentioned. To date, few of these developments have found industrial use, but they suggest where future developments are likely. A number of recent reviews and books cover and expand on topics discussed here.
2.1. Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are almost entirely straight chain aliphatic carboxylic acids. The broadest definition includes all chain lengths, but most natural fatty acids are [C.sub.4] to [C.sub.22], with [C.sub.18] most common. Naturally occurring fatty acids share a common biosynthesis. The chain is built from two carbon units, and cis double bonds are inserted by desaturase enzymes at specific positions relative to the carboxyl group. This results in even-chain-length fatty acids with a characteristic pattern of methylene interrupted cis double bonds. A large number of fatty acids varying in chain length and unsaturation result from this pathway.
Systematic names for fatty acids are too cumbersome for general use, and shorter alternatives are widely used. Two numbers separated by a colon give, respectively, the chain length and number of double bonds: octadecenoic acid with 18 carbons and 1 double bond is therefore 18:1. The position of double bonds is indicated in a number of ways: explicitly, defining the position and configuration; or locating double bonds relative to the methyl or carboxyl ends of the chain. Double-bond position relative to the methyl end is shown as n-x or [Omega]x, where x is the number of carbons from the methyl end. The n-system is now preferred, but both are widely used. The position of the first double bond from the carboxyl end is designated [Delta]x. Common names (Table 1) may be historical, often conveying no structural information, or abbreviations of systematic names. Alternative representations of linoleic acid (1) are 9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid; 18:2 9c12c; 18:2 n-6; 18:2 [Omega]6; 18:2 [Delta]9,12; or C[H.sub.3](C[H.sub.2])[4.sup.C]H=CH[CH.sub.2]CH=CH(C[H.sub.2])[C.sub.7]OOH.
The terms cis and trans, abbreviated c and t, are used widely for double-bond geometry; as with only two substituents, there is no ambiguity that requires the systematic Z/E convention. An expansive discussion of fatty acid and lipid nomenclature and structure appears in Akoh and Min.
Over 1000 fatty acids are known, but 20 or less are encountered in significant amounts in the oils and fats of commercial importance (Table 1). The most common acids are [C.sub.16] and [C.sub.18]. Below this range, they are characterized as short or medium chain and above it as long-chain acids.
Fatty acids with trans or non-methylene-interrupted unsaturation occur naturally or are formed during processing; for example, vaccenic acid (18:1 11t) and the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) rumenic acid (18:2 9t11c) are found in dairy fats. Hydroxy, epoxy, cyclopropane, cyclopropene acetylenic, and methyl branched fatty acids are known, but only ricinoleic acid (12(R)-hydroxy-9Z-octadecenoic acid) (2) from castor oil is used for oleochemical production. Oils containing vernolic acid (12(S),13(R)-epoxy-9Z-octadecenoic acid) (3) have potential for industrial use.
Typical fatty acid composition of the most widely traded commodity oils is shown in Table 2.
Most commodity oils contain fatty acids with chain lengths between [C.sub.16] and [C.sub.22], with [C.sub.18] fatty acids dominating in most plant oils. Palm kernel and coconut, sources of medium-chain fatty acids, are referred to as lauric oils. Animal fats have wider range of chain length, and high erucic varieties of rape are rich in this [C.sub.22] monoene acid. Potential new oil crops with unusual unsaturation or additional functionality are under development. Compilations of the fatty acid composition of oils and fats and less-common fatty acids are available.
The basic structure, a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain with a hydrophilic polar group at one end, endows fatty acids and their derivatives with distinctive properties, reflected in both their food and industrial use. Saturated fatty acids have a straight hydrocarbon chain. A trans-double bond is accommodated with little change in shape, but a cis bond introduces a pronounced bend in the chain (Fig. 1).
In the solid phase, fatty acids and related compounds pack with the hydrocarbon chains aligned and, usually, the polar groups together. The details of the packing, such as the unit cell angles and head-to-tail or head-to-head arrangement depend on the fatty acid structure (Fig. 2).
The melting point increases with chain length and decreases with increased unsaturation (Table 3). Among saturated acids, odd chain acids are lower melting than adjacent even chain acids. The presence of cis-double bonds markedly lowers the melting point, the bent chains packing less well. Trans-acids have melting points much closer to those of the corresponding saturates. Polymorphism results in two or more solid phases with different melting points. Methyl esters are lower melting than fatty acids but follow similar trends.
Fatty acid salts and many polar derivatives of fatty acids are amphiphilic, possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas within the one molecule. These are surface-active compounds that form monolayers at water/air and water/surface interfaces and micelles in solution. Their surface-active properties are highly dependent on the nature of the polar head group and, to a lesser extent, on the length of the alkyl chain. Most oleochemical processes are modifications of the carboxyl group to produce specific surfactants.
2.2. Acylglycerols
Fatty acids in oils and fats are found esterified to glycerol. Glycerol (1,2,3-trihydroxypropane) is a prochiral molecule. It has a plane of symmetry, but if the primary hydroxyls are esterified to different groups, the resulting molecule is chiral and exists as two enantiomers. The stereospecific numbering system is used to distinguish between enantiomers. The Fischer projection of glycerol is drawn with the backbone bonds going into the paper and the hydroxyl on the middle carbon to the left. The carbons are then numbered 1 to 3 from the top (Figure 3). The prefix sn- (for stereospecific numbering) denotes a particular enantiomer, rac- an equal mixture of enantiomers, and x- an unknown stereochemistry. In an asymmetric environment such as an enzyme binding site, the sn-1 and sn-3 groups are not interchangeable and reaction will only occur at one position. Simplified structures are often used; e.g., 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-3-oleoyl-sn-glycerol is abbreviated to PLO or drawn as shown in Figure 3.
Storage fats (seed oils and animal adipose tissue) consist chiefly (~98%) of triacylglycerols, with the fatty acids distributed among different molecular species. With only two fatty acids, a total of eight triacylglycerol isomers are possible, including enantiomers (Table 4). A full analysis of triacylglycerol molecular species is a major undertaking, and for some oils, there are still technical difficulties to be resolved. More commonly, triacylglycerols are distinguished by carbon number (the sum of the fatty acid chain lengths) or unsaturation, using GC or HPLC for analysis. The number of isomers increases as the cube of the number of fatty acids; hence, even in oils with a simple fatty acid composition, many molecular species of triacylglycerol may be present.
Most natural triacylglycerols do not have a random distribution of fatty acids on the glycerol backbone. In plant oils, unsaturated acids predominate at the sn-2 position, with more saturated acids at sn-1 and sn-3. The distribution of fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions is often similar, although not identical. However, a random distribution between these two positions is often assumed as full stereospecific analysis is a time-consuming specialist procedure. In animal fats, the type of fatty acid predominating at the sn-2 position is more variable; for example, palmitate may be selectively incorporated as well as unsaturated acids (Table 5).
Only oils that are rich in one fatty acid contain much monoacid triacylglycerol, for example, olive (Table 5), sunflower, and linseed oils containing OOO, LLL, and LnLnLn, respectively. Compilations of the triacylglycerol composition of commodity and other oils are available.
The melting behavior of triacylglycerols generally reflects that expected from the fatty acid composition; triacylglycerols rich in long-chain and saturated acids are high melting, and those rich in polyunsaturated acids are lower melting. However, the situation is complicated by the possibility that the fatty acids can be distributed in different molecular species with different melting points. Oils with similar fatty acid composition may have different solid fat content, polymorphic forms, and melting behavior as a result of a different triacylglycerol composition.
Mono- and diacylglycerols (Figure 3) are not significant components of good quality oils, but elevated levels may be found in badly stored seeds, resulting from the activity of lipolytic enzymes. These compounds are produced industrially by partial hydrolysis or glycerolysis of triacylglycerols for use as food grade emulsifiers. Mono- and diacylglycerols readily isomerize under acid or base catalysis and are normally produced as an equilibrium mixture in which 1(3)-monoacylglycerols or 1,3-diacylglycerols predominate.
Phospholipids (Figure 3) are constituents of membranes and are only minor components of oils and fats, sometimes responsible for cloudiness. They are usually removed during degumming, the residue from soybean oil processing being a source of phospholipids used as food emulsifiers. The term "lecithin" is used very loosely for such material, and it may variously mean phosphatidylcholine, mixed glycerophospholipids, or crude phospholipid extracts from various sources. Where possible, more specific nomenclature or the source and purity should be used.
2.3. Bulk Properties
Saponification value and iodine value. Oils and fats are now characterized mainly by their fatty acid composition determined by gas chromatography, replacing the titrimetric and gravimetric assays used previously. However, the saponification value (SV) or equivalent (SE) and iodine value (IV) are still used in specifications and to monitor processes. SE, expressed as grams of fat saponified by one mole of potassium hydroxide, is an indication of the average molecular weight and hence chain length, whereas the IV, expressed as the weight percent of iodine consumed by the fat in a reaction with iodine monochloride, is an index of unsaturation (Table 6). Standard analytical methods are available, but these parameters are now often calculated from the fatty acid composition, assuming that the sample is all triacylglycerol. Indirect measurement of IV and SV (as well as peroxide and trans-content) using FT-NIR spectroscopy have been developed for real-time process monitoring.
Unsaponifiable matter. Oils and fats contain variable amounts of sterols, hydrocarbons, tocopherols, carotenoids, and other compounds, collectively referred to as unsaponifiable matter because they do not produce soaps upon hydrolysis (Table 6). The sterol and tocopherol composition of commodity oils is discussed in another chapter. Some of these minor components are removed during refining, and the resulting concentrates may be useful byproducts, for example, tocopherol antioxidants. Characteristic fingerprints of minor components, particularly phytosterols and tocopherols, are also used to authenticate oils and detect adulteration.
Reactions converting acids to esters or vice versa and the exchange of ester groups are among the most widely used in fatty acid and lipid chemistry (Figure 4). They find applications from microscale preparation of methyl esters for GC analysis to the industrial production of oleochemicals and biodiesel. The exchange of groups attached to the fatty acid carboxyl is usually an equilibrium process driven to one product by an excess of one reactant or the removal of one product, and it is usually carried out with the aid of a catalyst. The catalyst may be an acid, a base, or a lipolytic enzyme. These reactions produce the fatty acids and methyl esters that are the starting point for most oleochemical production. As the primary feedstocks are oils and fats, glycerol is produced as a valuable byproduct. Reaction routes and conditions with efficient glycerol recovery are required to maximize the economics of large-scale production.
There is increasing interest in the use of lipase enzymes for large-scale reactions. Enzyme reactions require milder conditions, less solvent, and give cleaner products-attributes of "green chemistry." Enzymes can exert regio- or stereospecific control over reactions and may also offer a degree of selectivity for particular fatty acids, not observed with acid or base catalysts. Although the reactions of the carboxyl group are normally independent of those of the double bonds in the fatty acid molecule, the presence of a double bond at the [Delta]4, [Delta]5, or [Delta]6 position often results in slower reaction when a reaction is catalyzed by a lipase. Lipase catalyzed reactions are considered in detail below, following a brief description of the reactions involved.

Losing the 2014 FIFA World Cup Could Help Brazil
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- For many, host-country Brazil is the hands-down favorite to win the World Cup. However, a spirit-crushing defeat for Brazil's team could also accelerate some much-needed changes for the BRIC economy.
Goldman Sachs Predicts Brazil Will Win the 2014 FIFA World Cup
At least that's the argument put forward by UBS economists Jorge O. Mariscal and Andreas Hoefert.
"[I]nvestors should see unrest in Brazil as a possible positive for markets -- that is, if it means a more market-friendly candidate beats [Brazilian President] Dilma [Rousseff] in the elections," Mariscal and Hoefert argue in a compelling June 5 report.
They find that unrest in Brazil has grown heading into the World Cup, with citizens increasingly disaffected by the country's uneven economic performance and its high inflation. Many don't believe they've benefited from Brazil's ascendance as one of the most highly-watched emerging economies. Now that growth is slowing, frustration is mounting. With highly contested presidential elections looming this Fall, UBS argues that investors should not discount the impact of the World Cup on Brazil's political situation and consequently its economy. They find two reasons for investors to treat the World Cup as a story to watch for Brazil. "Popular support for the Cup is unprecedentedly low for a country like Brazil, where footballing passion runs deep. The latter underscores the heightened level of frustration of large segments of society with poor infrastructure, lack of public safety, high levels of corruption, and an over-reaching government," UBS states in its report.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Last week, my colleagues and I unveiled a comprehensive plan to halt the scourge of methamphetamine (meth) production that has increased dramatically in New York state over the past five years.
My proposal would make it a crime to possess the makings of a clandestine meth lab, increase penalties for theft of the liquid fertilizer used in a popular meth "recipe," make it harder for meth "cooks" to obtain the ingredients for the drug, protect children living in or near meth labs, and create new regulations for remediation of dangerous meth production sites.
The fact that meth is inexpensive and relatively easy to produce at home or even in the trunk of a car, and the fact that it is extremely addictive, are reasons enough that we need to do everything possible to stop meth production immediately. Meth – also known as speed, crank, crystal, ice – is manufactured with common household items, including cold medicine, lithium batteries, drain cleaner and starter fluid. Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant that is fast becoming the crack cocaine of the 21st century with a "high" that can last 24 hours or longer. The drug can be injected, smoked, snorted or ingested orally. The use of meth can cause serious physical problems, even death.
There have also been recent incidents in southern Cayuga County and the Southern Tier involving the theft of anhydrous ammonia from our local farmers. This is a very volatile, dangerous substance, though it's used as a fertilizer in the production of corn and other grain crops. Illegal drug manufacturers have traveled to our region to steal anhydrous ammonia. Anhydrous ammonia is an integral ingredient in the "Nazi" or "Birch" reduction method of meth production, which doesn't require heat or extensive knowledge of chemistry. Anhydrous ammonia, which must stay under pressure to remain liquid, can be deadly if handled incorrectly.
Meth has thrived in California for years, and now meth production and use have steadily moved east, wreaking havoc along the way. Prior to 2000, only a few meth labs could be found in New York state. Since then, police seizures have increased from three labs in 1999 to 73 in 2003. The proposed action is timely.

This is an important website for Pernod Ricard as a re-launch of a global cultural icon. Communication Arts chose the Pernod Absinthe website as their
'Webpick of the Week'
The site is a compelling destination for all connoisseurs. Hanson tapped into a treasure trove of 19th and 20th century art, advertising and literature to develop the story of the only Absinthe with an authentic history.
Pernod Absinthe
taps into a treasure trove of 19th and 20th century art, advertising and literature featuring the only Absinthe with an authentic history. Founded in 1805 by Henri-Louis Pernod, Pernod Absinthe was embraced by writers, poets and artists and included among its devotees Toulouse-Lautrec (he carried a custom-made cane that hid a glass and vial of Absinthe), Picasso, Manet and Van Gogh, who drew paintings featuring Absinthe drinkers or the famous "Pernod Fils" bottle.
The site is a compelling destination for all connoisseurs—consumers, press, and trade—on the history of Absinthe, which was banned around most the world from 1915 until 2000. Hanson developed the site from creative envisioning to launch in eight weeks, and used the vast Pernod Ricard archives to tell the Absinthe story with rich media of animated v-clips and timelines that feature photography from Peter Pioppo, one of the world's most acclaimed photographers of exotic foods and beverages.
"This is an important website for Pernod Ricard since we were re-launching a brand that was a global cultural icon. We're thrilled with the result: working with Hanson is proof that developing a web experience from scratch can be done efficiently, and be a lot of fun. They offer the professionalism, expertise and creativity you require from a large agency without all the red tape." Brand Manager for Pernod Ricard USA.

Remember That Oil in the Gulf of Mexico? It's Still There
Remember That Oil in the Gulf of Mexico? It's Still There
As we approach the one year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon explosion and the subsequent oil disaster that followed, residents on the Gulf Coast are still finding their beaches covered in oil.
Residents of Perdido Key, Florida were recently treated to a few thousand pounds of "tar mats" washing ashore, which prompted BP to quickly send out clean up crews during a busy spring break season for local resorts. Residents and beachgoers did their best to overlook the dark spots on their vacations, and were laying out and playing in the water just a few feet away from the oncoming oil. The Perdido removal has so far been the only instance where BP has removed a large tar mat.
Elsewhere in Florida, four other tar mats have popped up between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach, with cleanup efforts in those areas remaining slow. County officials are growing increasingly impatient with BP, forcing County Administrator Charles Oliver to send a letter to BP requesting immediate assistance. BP had announced, and the beaches accepted, that they would be scaling back their cleanup operations in Florida in February, since the only oil coming on shore was in the form of small tar balls.
Louisiana and Alabama have not been unscathed either, as both areas are still experiencing tar balls washing up on a daily basis. Louisiana could be in for an even harder hit, as Coast Guard officials have reported a large oil sheen stretching about 100 miles hovering dangerously close to Louisiana. Over the weekend, officials in Grand Isle confirmed that tar balls and actual oil had begun washing up on their beaches. From Lauren Kelly on Alternet on the true scope of the disaster:
Louisiana Bayoukeepers' Mike Roberts reiterated to [Rocky] Kistner of NRDC that the group saw what "looked like a huge amount of oil" in the waters off Louisiana. "They could smell it from the airplane and I could smell it from the boat. This wasn't just Mississippi River mud," he said.
However, government officials and business interests were quick to point out that this oil sheen might not be from BP's oil, which would absolve them from responsibility in the cleanup, but also poses the more serious question of whether or not there is another oil well leaking in the Gulf of Mexico.
For residents along the Gulf Coast, the continuing presence of oil and tar balls is a constant reminder of how dangerous offshore drilling can be. But for most Americans, with the story no longer dominating the headline news, or even getting a mention, the consequences are now out of sight and out of mind. And if you listen close enough, you can probably still hear Sarah Palin shouting "Drill baby, drill!"

got to level 3 and then I already got tired of pushing the GD boxes. It just doesnt work and makes the game terrible to play. the graphs are so cool, but, bugs a side, its just not a fun game. It could be, so dont stop trying, but for now its not good enough imo

The Kennedy of Hickory Hill
"Ethel Kennedy has remained just outside the glare of publicity.... According to a recent Gallup poll, Americans regard her as the country's most admired woman. It is an assessment born of sympathy, not knowledge. The public does not know her today. Perhaps it never did. Since that grim night in Los Angeles ten months ago, she has lived almost entirely in the seclusion of Hickory Hill and Hyannisport, breaking into the news only in December, when she bore her eleventh child. Yet those close to Ethel and to the life she has reconstructed regard her with something approaching awe. She has, they contend, emerged in many ways as the most remarkable member of her remarkable family."
