What is it about?
Urea forms channel inclusion complexes with straight chain hydrocarbon, fatty acids etc. The decomposition of urea is an interesting thermal induced solid state reaction yielding important byproducts. Urea complexation with fatty acids has been successively used in the purification and separation of fatty acids, esters and alcohols.

Why is it important?
Thermal profiles of adduct of fatty acid with urea indicate shift in melting temperature of urea from 408 to 413 K. Thermal profiles of ureaneem oil adduct indicating that there is some incorporation of neem oil (inclusion compound formation) by lowering the melting temperature of urea.
Perspectives
The data will be highly useful for biochemical studies involving protein denaturation by urea or removal of urea from biochemical processes.
