Abstract
Neutron diffraction data on trilaurin were recently presented by Cebulaet al. [Cebula, D.J., D.J. McClements, M.J.W. Povey and P.R. Smith,J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. 69:130 (1992)] with an interpretation of a liquid structure related to the nematic state of liquid crystals. Arguments for an alternative interpretation, consistent with curved stacks of bilayer units proposed earlier, are presented in this paper, based mainly on the analogy in diffraction behavior with polar lipid liquids/L2-phases.
