“…Most of them are obtained from modifications (interesterification or hydrogenation) of vegetable oils, like palm and palm kernel. The use of fatty acids like stearic, oleic and lauric, or blends among them, represents another choice that can supply good results (Chambi, Alvim, Barrera-Arellano, & Grosso, 2008;Ribeiro, Arellano, & Grosso, 2012;Sartori, Consoli, Hubinger, & Menegalli, 2015), but it can increase the cost of the product, since fatty acids are more expensive than vegetable oils. Fully hydrogenated soybean oil (FHSO) was successfully used by Guo, Chan, and Heng (2005) and Gamboa, Gonçalves, and Grosso (2011) as carrier agent to produce microparticles containing aspirin and atocopherol, respectively.…”
