Can We “Cultivate” Erucic Acid in Southern Europe?
Over the last fifteen years, considerable progress has been made in the field of “green chemistry”, as regards both research aspects and market development. In particular, extraction of erucic acid (C22:1) from plants and its industrial applications have received increasing attention. At present, known species producing oils yielding large quantities of erucic acid belong, with few exceptions, ...
متن کاملBottlenecks in erucic acid accumulation in genetically engineered ultrahigh erucic acid Crambe abyssinica
Erucic acid is a valuable industrial fatty acid with many applications. The main producers of this acid are today high erucic rapeseed (Brassica napus) and mustard (Brassica juncea), which have 45%-50% of erucic acid in their seed oils. Crambe abyssinica is an alternative promising producer of this acid as it has 55%-60% of erucic acid in its oil. Through genetic modification (GM) of three gene...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from Europe?
The European Society of Cardiology has produced guidelines for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction as well as for chronic heart failure and for the use of beta blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. These documents provide clear evidence and strength of recommendations for the secondary prevention of complications after a myocardial infarction. The identification of hea...
متن کامل13-aminotridecanoic Acid from Erucic Acid
13-Aminotridecanoic acid, the monomer for nylon 13, was synthesized from commercial erucic acid or its derivatives by several methods in a study to determine the method of choice, which involved oxidative ozonolysis of eruconitrile, followed by esterification before isolation to give methyl 12-cyanododecanoate. The cyano ester was then catalytically reduced and hydrolyzed, without isolation of ...
متن کاملThe Mediterranean Basin and Southern Europe in a warmer world: what can we learn from the past?
Since the late-nineteenth century, surface temperatures have increased worldwide but non-uniformly. The repercussions of this global warming in drylands, such as the Mediterranean, may become a major source of concern in the near future, as such warming is often accompanied by increased droughts, that will severely degrade water supply and quality. History shows that access to water resources h...
