Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Monoundecenoyl, Di-\u3cem\u3eoligo\u3c/em\u3e(Ricinoleyl) Triacylglycerol and Chemical Conjugation of Acid-Functionalized Poly(Ethylene) Glycol Monomethyl Ether to \u3cem\u3eOligo\u3c/em\u3e (Ricinoleic) Acid to Enable the ‘Green’ Preparation of Amphiphilic Star Polymers [PDF]
Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of unimolecular polymeric micelles (UPMs) is proposed for their potential utilization as drug delivery vehicles in dilute aqueous solutions. The UPMs are star polymers consisting of a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic corona. The

Biochemical Characterization of a Type II Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase from Claviceps purpurea [PDF]
Claviceps purpurea, a fungal pathogen, of ergot diseases in agriculturally important cereal crops, produces high levels of glycerides containing ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxyoctadec-cis-9-enoic acid) in its sclerotia.

Biolubricant basestocks from chemically modified ricinoleic acid
AbstractThis paper presents a series of chemically modified biolubricant basestocks derived from ricinoleic acid. The reactions were monitored and products were confirmed by NMR and FTIR. The synthesis protocol is carried out in three stages: (1) epoxidation of ricinoleic acid; (2) synthesis of 10,12-dihydroxy-9-acyloxystearic acid from epoxidized ...

Evaluating the effect of temperature on biodiesel production from castor oil
Problems arising between biofuels and food as raw materials have led to investigating the use of inedible raw materials for their production. This work was aimed at studying the effect of temperature on converting castor oil in biodiesel production.
