3-acetyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols (acetyl-TAG) possess a particularly striking variation where the long-chain fatty acid at the sn-3 position of TAG is replaced by a two-carbon acetyl group. Some of these modified structures have added-value properties that are currently used in a range of industrial applications. —Liu et al.
