Abstract
Melt crystallizations of polymorphic lipids. SOS (sn- 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol) , have been examined with a time-resolved X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation source. The main results are as follows: (i) the formation of lamellar ordering of SOS occurred more rapidly than that of subcell packing, (ii) the time lag in the occurrence of the two spectra increased with increasing stability of the polymorphic forms which crystallized.
