This paper proposed the nematic liquid crystal model rather than the smectic one for the trilaurin melt, based on the neutron diffraction measurements. In this model, TG molecules have a chair-like conformation (h-conformers) whose three hard aliphatic chains are orientated to form domains having a nematic liquid crystal structure.

This paper revealed that triglyceride molecules exist in the liquid state with fully splayed chains, approximating "Y"-shapes. These are loosely bound within discs that stack into flexible, relatively short cylindrical rods.

Near-IR molar absorption coefficient for the OH-stretching mode of cis-9-octadecenoic acid and dissociation of the acid dimers in the pure liquid state. J Chem Soc Faraday Trans 1995, 91:697-701. This paper revealed that the dissociation of fatty acid dimer into monomers in the melt and even in CCl4 is very low, by the combination of the results of near-IR spectroscopic and the vapor-pressure osmosis measurements, and that the dimers are the units of inter- and intramolecular movements of fatty acid in melt.

J Phys Chem B 2000, 104:6186-6194. This paper proposed the existence of the clusters having a smectic liquid crystal like structure in the liquid of various fatty acids having 18-carbon atoms. The existence of the clusters determines the density and fluidity of the fatty acids.

Dynamical dimer structure and liquid structure of fatty acids in their binary liquid mixture: dodecanoic and 3-phenylpropionic acids system. Chem Phys Lipids 2004, 129:195-208. This paper presents that two kinds of fatty acids in their binary liquid mixture do not exist as their hetero-dimers but as each their homo-dimers. This may link to the crystallization process of lipids.

This paper revealed that cholesterol stabilizes the smectic liquid crystal clusters composed of oleic acid dimers and reduces the inter- and intra-movements of oleic acid molecule. On the other hand, ethanol destroys the cluster structure.
