PALM-BASED CHIRAL COMPOUNDS
ABSTRACT
Palm-based chiral compounds are potential values although they are either taken for granted or largely ignore. This paper reports on the chirality features and optical activities of readily available palm-based chiral compounds such as asymmetrical acylglycerols, phospholipids, tools, carotenoids and sterols
