Biotechnological route for obtaining methyl esters from crambe oil (Crambe abyssinica)

چکیده
Introduction The fatty acid esters synthesis by transesterification of oils to produce biodiesel commonly involves methanol or ethanol as acyl acceptor. The transesterification of vegetable oils catalyzed by lipases is an alternative process for obtaining biodiesel. These biocatalysts working under mild conditions of temperature, allow for easy recovery of glycerol, synthesis of specific alkyl esters and transesterification of triglycerides with high concentrations of free fatty acids. The seeds of crambe (Crambe abyssinica) have a high oil content and great potential for biodiesel production [1]. In this way, the present work aims at crambe oil transesterification with methanol catalyzed by immobilized lipase Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica).

Bottlenecks 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 کاملFilm Extrusion of Crambe abyssinica/Wheat Gluten Blends
Crambe abyssinica is a plant with potential for use in industrial (non-food) plant oil production. The side stream from this oil production is a high-protein crambe meal that has limited value, as it is not fit for food or feed use. However, it contains proteins that could potentially make it a suitable raw material for higher-value products. The purpose of this study was to find methods of mak...
متن کاملProduction and genetic characterization of interspecific hybrids among Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica and Crambe kralikii.
In this paper, interspecific crosses among Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica, and Crambe kralikii were reported. In the C. hispanica x C. abyssinica (H x A) cross, 118 F1 hybrids were produced without embryo rescue, while 5 F1 hybrids were obtained with embryo rescue, when C. hispanica was used as the female parent. In the reciprocal cross (A x H), 232 hybrids were obtained without embryo res...
