“…Reports on isolating oil bodies can be traced back to at least the 1970s. Oil bodies have been isolated from a range of seeds: soybean [15], sunflower seed [16], almond [17,18], walnut [19] Arabidopsis [20], and maize germ [21]. Characterisation of oil bodies extracted from different seed (rapeseed, sesame, cotton, flax, and maize) and nuts (peanut) has shown that the size of these organelles always falls within a narrow range (0.6-2.0 m) with an isoelectric point from 5.7 to 6.6 [22].…”
