TL;DR: The presented characterization of the interfacial composition and its consequences provide a new approach for the understanding of lipase reactions at interfaces with direct impact on biotechnological and health care applications.

TL;DR: This work will review the typical characteristics of monoglyceride self-assembly structures, the most common characterisation techniques, how introduction of guest molecules influences the self- assembly structures, their use for drug delivery and how commercial food grade monoglycersides obtained from sunflower oil can be applied to achieve unique delivery functionalities in food systems.

TL;DR: Viscosity measurements along selected dilution lines indicate that at a certain composition the system inverts from a W/O to an O/W microemulsion, and some of them can be easily diluted to infinity both with the aqueous phase and with the oil phase.

TL;DR: Aqueous submicron-sized dispersions of the binary monolinolein/water system, which are stabilized by means of a polymer, internally possess a distinct nanostructure, and it is demonstrated for the first time that the internal structure of the dispersed particles can be tuned by temperature in a reversible way.

TL;DR: From the mathematical modeling of the interface composition, it is concluded that Sn-2 monopalmitin can desorb lipase from the interface, which explains the gradually decreased triglyceride hydrolysis that occurs during the digestion.
