Composition and properties of the surface of oil bodies recovered from Echium Plantagineum (2013)
Journal Article
Payne, G., Lad, M., Foster, T., Khosla, A., & Gray, D. (2014). Composition and properties of the surface of oil bodies recovered from Echium Plantagineum. Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 116, 88-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfb.2013.11.043

Neutral-lipids within oilseeds are most commonly stored in oil bodies, small spherical organelles with oleosin proteins inserted through a phospholipid monolayer. Oil bodies extracted from Echium plantagineum are highly enriched in polyunsaturated fa... Read More about Composition and properties of the surface of oil bodies recovered from Echium Plantagineum.

Entrapment of a volatile lipophilic aroma compound (D-limonene) in spray dried water-washed oil bodies naturally derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus) (2013)
Journal Article
Fisk, I. D., Linforth, R. S., Trophardy, G., & Gray, D. A. (2013). Entrapment of a volatile lipophilic aroma compound (D-limonene) in spray dried water-washed oil bodies naturally derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus). Food Research International, 54(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2013.08.024

Oil bodies are natural emulsions that can be extracted from oil seeds and have previously been shown to be stable
after spray drying. The aim of the study was to evaluate for the first time if spray dried water-washed oil bodies
are an effective car... Read More about Entrapment of a volatile lipophilic aroma compound (D-limonene) in spray dried water-washed oil bodies naturally derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annus).

The lipidome and proteome of oil bodies from Helianthus annuus (common sunflower) (2013)
Journal Article
Furse, S., Liddell, S., Ortori, C. A., Williams, H., Neylon, D. C., Scott, D. J., Barrett, D. A., & Gray, D. A. (2013). The lipidome and proteome of oil bodies from Helianthus annuus (common sunflower). Journal of Chemical Biology, 6(2), 63-76. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12154-012-0090-1

In this paper we report the molecular profiling, lipidome and proteome, of the plant organelle known as an oil body (OB). The OB is remarkable in that it is able to perform its biological role (storage of triglycerides) whilst resisting the physical...
