Chemical Characterization of Canola and Sunflower Oil Deodorizer Distillates

Influence of Blending Canola, Palm, Soybean, and Sunflower Oil Methyl Esters on Fuel Properties of Biodiesel

Preparation and Characterization of Biodiesel Produced from Recycled Canola Oil

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of using recycled canola oil as raw material to produce ASTM standard biodiesel. Two-step reaction, acid-catalyzed esterification followed by alkali-catalyzed transesterification, was performed. The high level of free fatty acids ( FFA) in the recycled canola oil was reduced to less than 1% by acidcatalyzed esterification with 40/1 molar ...

Comparison of the effects of canola oil versus sunflower oil on the biochemical markers of bone metabolism in osteoporosis

BACKGROUND Recently, omega-3 fatty acids are in the center of attention for their potent anti-inflammatory effects. Osteoporosis as a chronic senile disease is associated with inflammation, and the role of inflammatory mediators has been demonstrated in the recent years. The beneficial effects of n-3 fatty acids on bone were proven in many animal studies, while to date, no conclusive data is av...

The Effect of Bleaching Process on the Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Canola and Sunflower Seed Oils

Bleaching process is an essential stage in the refining of vegetable oils and fats. In this process the colour and the primary and secondary oxidation products are removed by the treatment with the acid activated bleaching earth .The aim of this project is to understand the effect of bleaching on the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of neutralized canola and sunflower seed oil...

Synthesis and characterization of polyacids from palm acid oil and sunflower oil via addition reaction.

In this study aliphatic polyacids were synthesized using palm acid oil (PAO) and sunflower oil (SFO) via addition reaction technique. The synthesized materials were characterized using Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS) and thermo-gravimetric a...
