  • Publication number: 20220065840
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for analysis of the position distribution of lecithin fat acid, relating to the technical field of oil processing. The analysis method according to the present disclosure makes it possible to catalyze lecithin to complete alcoholysis in a short time with Novozym 435 or Lipozyme 435 in the present of excess anhydrous ethanol, thereby quickly and accurately analyzing the position distribution of lecithin fat acid. Novozym 435 or Lipozyme 435 exhibits a strong sn-1 position specificity and an extremely high reactivity to lecithin in the present of excess anhydrous ethanol, thereby greatly increasing the reaction rate of the alcoholysis to ensure quick and complete alcoholysis of lecithin, avoiding the occurrence of the transfer of acyl group, and improving the accuracy of the analysis results. Also, the use of the anhydrous ethanol could effectively avoid the generation of fatty acid as a by-product of hydrolysis, and simplify subsequent analysis steps.

  • Publication number: 20190095944
    Abstract: An online system communicates information describing deals guaranteeing impressions of content items within specified time periods to a content publisher at which the content items may be presented. The online system receives information describing an assignment of each deal to a placement position within a website for the content publisher. Upon receiving a request to present a content item to a viewing user of the online system at a placement position, the online system identifies candidate content items associated with deals assigned to the placement position, in which the candidate content items are associated with targeting criteria satisfied by the viewing user. Based at least in part on a number of impressions achieved by each candidate content item in relation to a number of impressions guaranteed for the candidate content item, the online system selects a candidate content item for presentation to the viewing user at the placement position.
