Abstract:A "green" scheme of synthesizing diglycerides as a means of valorizing an oil processing by-product, specifically soybean oil deodorized distillate (SODD), was established. Different glycerol dosing strategies were implemented in the solvent-free lipase catalyzed esterification of free fatty acids with glycerol within molar ratios of 2-4 and temperatures of 40-60 °C. The process responses were compared with non-dosed systems in this study and other similar processes reported in literature. Better 1,3-diglyceri… 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.
