Cold Flow Properties of Fatty Esters

Synthesis of fatty acyl CoA and other thiol esters using N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of fatty acids.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide esters of long-chain fatty acids have been used to synthesize the CoA and thioglycolic acid thiol esters of palmitic and 3-ketopalmitic acids in high yield and with a minimum of untoward side reactions.

Production of anteiso-branched fatty acids in Escherichia coli; next generation biofuels with improved cold-flow properties.

Microbial fermentation is emerging as an increasingly important resource for the production of fatty acids to serve as precursors for renewable diesel as well as detergents, lubricants and other industrial chemicals, as an alternative to traditional sources of reduced carbon such as petroleum. A major disadvantage of fuels derived from biological sources is their undesirable physical properties...

AnaLYsIs oF Sucrose FattY AcID Esters

Supercritical uid chromatography (SFC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was applied to the pro ling of sucrose fatty acid esters (SEs). e SFC conditions (column and modi er gradient) were optimized for the e ective separation of SEs. In the column test, a silica gel reversed-phase column was selected. en, the method was used for the detailed characterization of commercial SEs an...

Esters of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Crystallization Behavior of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters

Biodiesel from most agricultural feedstocks has flow properties that are prone to startup and operability problems during cold weather. Biodiesel from soybean oil is generally a mixture of long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters composed of 0.15–0.20 mass fraction saturated esters (melting point [MP] 0 C) mixed with unsaturated esters (MP \ 0 C). This work investigates the crystallization properties...
