Abstract:Direct glycerolysis of novel edible Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) seed oil (PvLO) into diacylglycerols (DAG) and monoacylglycerols (MAG) was studied over solid Na2SiO3 with or without microwave assistance. The glycerolysis yield was calculated by qualitative and semiquantitative analyses of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FT‐IR spectra. The yields of ~33% 1, 3‐DAG, ~16% 1, 2‐DAG, ~40% 1‐MAG, and ~2.3% 2‐MAG were achieved after 16 hours at 120 °C in three consecutive cycles using acetone, with an interesterificati… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
