Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.Annatto‐derived bixin and norbixin were characterized and evaluated as natural antioxidants for soybean biodiesel. Their antioxidant performance and effects on oxidative stability were assessed using DPPH, Rancimat, and PetroOXY methods. ABSTRACT The increasing use of eco‐friendly fuels is increasing the production of biodiesel but soybean biodiesel is

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carbon capture technologies are poised to become one of the primary focuses regarding the achievement of net‐zero emissions by the year 2050. In these technologies, particular attention is given to post‐combustion CO2 capture, which is more easily implemented at existing power stations and other industries.
