Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...

The authors identified the gene responsible for esterification of the carotenoid lutein in bread wheat as Xanthophyll acyl-transferase (Xat), located on chromosome 7 of the wheat D genome (bread ...

Composition of fatty acid in oils is most often determined by modified acid-catalyzed esterification and trans-esterification of free fatty acids and glycerides, with the use of gas chromatography.
