Nanoparticles have been found in foods that contain solid fats, including chocolate, margarine, and lard, demonstrating nanoscale platelets generally 200 nm long, 80 nm wide, and 20 nm thick that act as the smallest microstructural elements of the colloidal fat crystal network.
“Nanoparticles have also been found in foods that contain solid fats, with food items including chocolate, margarine, and lard demonstrating nanoscale platelets. These nanoscale platelets are generally 200 nm long, 80 nm wide and 20 nm thick, and act as the smallest microstructural elements of the colloidal fat crystal network [27].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
