carbohydrate fatty acid polyesters, alkyl glycoside fatty acid polyesters,<br />

<strong>and</strong> polyglycerol esters.<br />

2. Replace the long chain fatty acids with alternative acids (to confer steric<br />

protection to the ester bonds). Examples are branched carboxylic esters of<br />

glycerol <strong>and</strong> structured lipids such as Caprenin <strong>and</strong> Salatrim/Benefat. Caprenin<br />

<strong>and</strong> Salatrim contain poorly or less absorbed long chain saturated<br />

fatty acids <strong>and</strong> easily absorbed short <strong>and</strong>/or medium chain fatty acids esterified<br />

to the glycerol. The short <strong>and</strong> medium chain fatty acids have lower<br />

heats of combustion than long chain fatty acids.<br />

3. Reverse the ester linkage in triacylglycerols by replacing the glycerol moiety<br />

with a polycarboxylic acid, amino acid, or other polyfunctional acid<br />

<strong>and</strong> esterify with a long chain alcohol. Examples include trialkoxytricarballylate<br />

(TATCA) <strong>and</strong> trialkoxycitrate (TAC).<br />

4. Reduce the ester linkage of the glycerol moiety to an ether linkage. This<br />

product is not a good substrate for lipases, which do not hydrolyze ether<br />
