Enzymatic synthesis of acylglycerides from agroindustrial residues: process design and simplified techno‐economic assessment

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 1821-1834, July/August 2026.
Abstract This study developed an enzymatic process to add value to palm oil fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and glycerol, resulting in the production of monoacylglycerides (MAG) and diacylglycerides (DAG). The biocatalyst loading (Novozym 435) and molar ratio of reagents were evaluated to obtain a suitable reaction condition in terms of space–time yield ...

Potential Synthetic Biolubricant as an Alternative to Bovine Serum [PDF]

Lubricants, 2016
It is crucial that orthopaedic implant materials are tested in conditions that replicate the natural body’s environment as closely as possible. Bovine serum is currently recommended for use by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) for the wear testing of these implant materials, however, the rheological properties of bovine serum do ...

Synthesis of trimethylolpropane trioleate by using stannous oxalate catalyst

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1587-1595, May/June 2026.
Abstract This study was conducted to synthesize trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) using a stannous oxalate catalyst and investigate the dependence of the esterification rate on reaction variables. The highest esterification rate of approximately 99% was achieved at a 2.75:1 oleic acid/trimethylolpropane, 1.5% catalyst amount, 180°C reaction ...
