Mid-chain carboxylic acids by catalytic refining of microalgae oil

Microalgae oil serves as a feedstock for a biorefinery approach to mid-chain (di-)carboxylic acid esters, currently only accessible via demanding synthetic routes. Via the butenolysis of monoand poly-unsaturated fatty acids, short-chain unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters and monoand di-enes were produced in a high selectivity. These olefins were further processed into value added linear mid-c...

Refining Multivariate Value Set Bounds

OF THE DISSERTATION Refining Multivariate Value Set Bounds By Luke Alexander Smith Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics University of California, Irvine, 2015 Professor Daqing Wan, Chair Over finite fields, if the image of a polynomial map is not the entire field, then its cardinality can be bounded above by a significantly smaller value. Earlier results bound the cardinality of the value set us...

Olive oil, high-oleic acid sunflower oil and CHD.

The low levels of CHD morbidity and mortality in Mediterranean regions is partly attributed to dietary factors. Olive oil is a key component of the traditional Mediterranean diet, therefore there has been intensive investigation to determine how olive oil mediates this effect. CHD has a very complex pathophysiology characterised by atherosclerosis, which is the result of aberrant lipoprotein me...

Deacidification of High - acid Olive Oil

The world productions of olive oil reach 2,800,000 ton and 98% of this production is to be found in the Mediterranean basin, where this agricultural system has been developed for thousands of years, characterized by its adaptation to the environment and its empiricism. Several factors have modified the olive production and processing systems in the last decades. The crisis of traditional agricu...
