  FDA/CFSAN: Agency Response Letter: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000115
Diacylglycerol oil is composed of greater than 80 percent diacylglycerol as a mixture of 1,3-diglyceride and 1,2-diglyceride at a ratio of 7:3.
The method of manufacture of diacylglycerol oil (which includes the enzyme-catalyzed esterification of fatty acids derived from natural edible plant oils and either monoacylglycerol or glycerol) and the specifications for food-grade diacylglycerol oil are the same as presented in GRN 000056.
ADM-Kao estimates that the expected consumption of diacylglycerol oil from its current use in edible oil and spread range from approximately 0.2 to 0.4 grams/kilogram body weight/day (g/kg bw/d) at the 90th percentile.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) oil was developed in Japan and launched in February 1999 by Kao Corporation as Healthy Econa cooking oil.

 Diacylglycerol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Diacylglycerol is a second messenger molecule made by phospholipase C (a membrane -bound enzyme) together with inositol triphosphate.
Although inositol triphosphate diffuses into the cytosol diacylglycerol stays close to the plasma membrane due to its hydrophobic properties.
Diacylglycerol has two major functions in the cell :

 Novel Food Information on: Vegetable Diacylglycerol Oil
The vegetable diacylglycerol oil is to be used as a 1:1 (w/w) replacement for liquid vegetable oils in all applications.
In one study, the effect of vegetable diacylglycerol oil in comparison to a conventional oil on the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, and E) was assessed.
Furthermore, since vegetable diacylglycerol oil oil is composed of fatty acids from edible oils, it would appear that any effects resulting from the consumption of vegetable diacylglycerol oil oil would relate to altered metabolism as a consequence of a greater proportion of diglyceride as opposed to triglyceride in dietary fat.

 sn-1,2-diacylglycerol kinase of Escherichia coli. Diacylglycerol analogues define specificity and mechanism.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Studies with a water-soluble diacylglycerol, sn-1,2-dibutyrylglycerol, allowed direct comparison of diacylglycerol kinase activity in mixed micelles with that in native membranes.
Consistent with these observations, diacylglycerol analogues modified only in the acyl chains or sn-2 ester were not diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors, whereas analogues with substitutions of the sn-1 ester or sn-3 hydroxyl frequently caused inhibition.
Studies of diacylglycerol kinase inactivation by the various analogues were consistent with the previous conclusion that this process involves an interaction of diacylglycerols with an enzyme conformation different from that active in catalysis (Walsh, J. P., and Bell, R. Biol.

 Lipid second messenger regulation: the role of diacylglycerol kinases and their relevance to hypertension
Diacylglycerol is the physiological activator of protein kinase C but also interacts indirectly with other signalling molecules such as small G proteins.
Therefore, diacylglycerol kinases occupy a central position in signal transduction and regulation of their activity is crucial to cellular function.
In addition to the plasma membrane, diacylglycerol kinases are found at the nucleus and cytoskeleton and translocation between subcellular compartments occurs with agonist stimulation.

In the present study, the biphasic accumulation of 1,2 diacylglycerol, i.e., the first transient and the second sustained phase, was observed in cultured human keratinocytes stimulated by GQ1b.
The second sustained phase of diacylglycerol was repressed by ethanol, indicating that the diacylglycerol-formation pathway via phospholipase D followed by phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase would in part account for the second diacylglycerol phase.
Furthermore, this second phase of GQ1b-induced diacylglycerol generation was reduced by pretreatment with propranolol, an inhibitor of phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase.
