“…Vapor pressure osmometry, calorimetry, light scattering, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies indicate that small to medium sized reverse micelles of monoglycerides form in a wide range of hydrocarbon solvents 15,22,[25][26][27][28][29] . The morphology of the aggregates can be controlled through temperature, solvent structure, and polar impurities 22,26,28,36 . In vegetable oils, monoglycerides can form inverse lamellar structures [30][31][32] , which dissolve to form an isotropic fluid-like phase at a temperature dependent on the surfactant structure, concentration, and water content 30,31 .…”
