Abstract

Well-defined triolein emulsions of low polydispersity were prepared by shearing a crude emulsion in a modified Couette cell, resulting in radii in the range of 300 to 900 nm. These emulsions were used as synthetic substrates for lipoprotein lipase, a key enzyme for the hydrolysis of serum triacylglycerols. The change in radius with time was studied with on-line static light scattering at 37 degrees C. An optimum radius of about 750 nm was found for this reaction.
