Dielectric characteristics of lipid droplets suspended in YEPD media

Currently, there are no point-of-care diagnosis strategies available to indicate the presence of neoplasmic growth. This research aims to develop a novel diagnostic strategy based on detecting lipid accumulation in various cells. This element of the research is a preliminary experiment to prove the concept of detecting TAG lipid droplets in YEPD media. This method calculated the relative dielectric constant of vegetable oils at 2.991 to 3.014 for groundnut and grapeseed oil respectively. The results indicate a decrease in relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss as the proportion of lipid droplet increases.
