The systematic designation of, e.g., phosphatidic acid (PA) is 1,2-diacyl-s<em>n<\/em>-glycero-3-phosphate. The phosphate group of PA can be further esterified, for instance in phosphatidylcholine (PC) with choline, in phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (PE) with ethanolamine, in phosphatidylglycerol (PG) with glycerol, and in phosphatidylserine (PS) with serine.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the structure of the polar region and the pH of the medium, phospholipids can be zwitterionic (neutral) or anionic. PC and PE are zwitterionic and have a neutral charge at pH 7. PA, PG, and PS are examples of anionic phospholipids. Natural cationic phospholipids do not exist, but synthetic lipids fill this gap and have a positive net charge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:150px;--awb-padding-left:150px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:40px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_3_5 3_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-left:150px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:60%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.2%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.2%;--awb-width-medium:60%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.2%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.2%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:23px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>Moreover, phospholipids show a high diversity of fatty acids attached to the glycerol backbone.

A steadily growing portfolio and a broad and powerful network between our R&amp;D department, researchers, and universities around the world constitute the backbone of our innovative strength. Innovation, however, means more to us than the simple development of novel materials or products. We are also setting standards in terms of customer-oriented services, new business models, and process efficiency. We endorse and support all kinds of innovation if they will create new values \u2013 whether in terms of growth, social and environmental benefits, or ideally a combination of all these. Our concept of open innovation has the potential to significantly enrich traditional processes by integrating knowledge from external sources: new perspectives and the early inclusion of customer needs can reduce the innovation risk and create new, innovative, and successful products and services.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:50px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_2_5 2_5 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-left:150px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:40%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.8%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.8%;--awb-width-medium:40%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:4.8%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:4.8%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#7e8c74;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Product Development at Lipoid<\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Since the foundation of Lipoid, the new and further development of our company has proceeded in close cooperation with universities, technical colleges, and other scientific institutes in Germany, Europe, and elsewhere. Here, the scientific department of Lipoid at its Ludwigshafen\/Rhine headquarters ensures a constant and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between practice and research. Not only Lipoid\u2019s R&amp;D department and also the independent Phospholipid Research Center, which is generously supported by Lipoid GmbH and PHOSPHOLIPID GmbH, promote the exchange of ideas
