Hydroxyl group-containing fatty acids play an important role in anti-inflammatory action, neuroprotection, bactericide and anti-cancer defense. However, the mechanism of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids (HFA) transport across plasma membranes is still disputed. Two main hypotheses have been suggested: firstly, that

Glucosylceramides were surveyed in crop tissues and by-products from their processing. Apple pulp contained the highest amount (0.94 mg g(-1)) of glucosylceramide and relatively less sterylglucoside, which is the major contaminant of partially purified glucosylceramide. Glucosylceramide from apple pulp was
