Figure 9 Schematic projections of triacylglycerol polymorphs viewed in the planes depicted.<br />

(Reproduced with permission from Ref. 13.)<br />

designates a bilayer structure of a �� polymorph with the second highest melting<br />

point.<br />

Application of the nomenclature to the most stable forms of various triacylglycerol<br />

systems, with sn positions designated A, B, <strong>and</strong> C for sn-1, 2, <strong>and</strong> 3, respectively,<br />

leads to the following:<br />
