Optimization of Epoxidized Methyl Acetoricinoleate Synthesis by Response Surface Methodology

“…Ricinoleic acid, the most abundant fatty acid in castor oil, accounting for 80–90 % of the composition, can be used as a substitute for edible oils in biodiesel preparation . Hence, the use of ricinoleic acid can offset any effects of the diversion of edible oils from food to fuel requirements . Epoxidized methyl acetoricinoleate (EMAR) is widely used in the plastic, food, and pharmaceutical industries to prepare high‐value products, such as children's toys, food storage containers, and blood transfusion bags .…”

Biodiesel production catalyzed by liquid and immobilized enzymes: Optimization and economic analysis

“…Purification of biodiesel was required in the simulation of process LEC in order to remove the unreacted oil as well as ricinoleic acid (FFA) that can be sold for the production of biodegradable polymers (Amador et al, 2012;Teomim et al, 1999).…”
