4 Conclusions
This study showed that the liquidus temperatures
of DAG/DAG mixtures either follow a simple Vshape curve or change monotonically, both of
which fit well with values predicted by the NSS
model. The formation of molecular compounds
between different types of DAG was not observed.
According to previous studies, such eutectic or
monotectic behavior has also been commonly
observed in TAG/TAG mixtures. Similarly, the
liquidus curves of binary mixtures of different
types of acylglycerol, namely, DAG/MAG,
TAG/MAG, and DAG/TAG, were in good agreement
with the NSS model, with a few exceptions.
However, for TAG/MAG mixtures, concerns
remained regarding the reliability of the UNIFAC
(Dortmund) model for estimating the activity
coefficient. These results implied that each
