FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER PROFILING OF Enterococcus and E

Hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl ester to fatty alcohol at supercritical conditions

Hydrogenation of various types of oleochemicals is a major unit operation in industry. Natural fatty alcohols are important raw materials for surfactants and lubricants and can be produced by catalytic hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Commercial multiphase processes are necessarily operated at high pressures and high hydrogen-to-ester mole ration owing to low solubility of hydr...

Bacillus sp. PS35 Lipase-Immobilization on Styrene-Divinyl Benzene Resin and Application in Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Synthesis

Background: Lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. Ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. Enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. Objective: The objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from Bacillus sp. PS35 by cross-linking and adsorpti...

Gammalinolenic Acid, an Unsaturated Fatty

Stability of unsaturated methyl esters of fatty acids on surfaces.

The stability of unsaturated methyl esters is greater when they are adsorbed on silica gel than when a glass surface is used. Storage of small samples adsorbed on silica gel may be a convenient addition to conventional methods of protecting labile fats against autoxidation.
