Single cell oils (SCO) are the edible oils extracted from micro-organisms-the single-celled entities that are at the bottom of the food chain.The best producers with the highest oil contents are various species of yeasts and fungi with several key algae that are also able to produce high levels of nutritionally important PUFA. Their potential to produce PUFA has now galvanized the current interest in these SCO as oils rich in highly desirable fatty acids essential for our well being and not readily available either from plants or animals

Where do you find oils and fats in a palisade cell from a plant?

Oils and fats in a palisade cell from a plant are typically found in the plastids known as lipid bodies. Lipid bodies are specialized organelles within the cytoplasm of the cell that store oils and fats in the form of triglycerides. These lipids serve as an energy reserve for the cell and play a crucial role in membrane structure and signaling pathways. Additionally, oils and fats may also be present in the cell membrane itself, contributing to its fluidity and function.
