palmitino rūgštis palmitic acid Explanation: “palmine” is a synonym (possibly obsolete) of “palmitin” (“tripalmitin”). The corresponding acid is “palmitic acid” (“palmic acid”). See the Wikipedia reference link. Also see: https://www.wordnik.com/words/palmine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitin http://www.finedictionary.com/palmitin.html The Lithuanian term ought to be “palmitino rūgštis”, while “palmino rūgštis” doesn’t seem to be used and is most likely an error. For contexts see: http://www.linguee.com/english-lithuanian/search?source=auto... Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid |
