Chemical Compositions and Essential Fatty Acid Analysis of Selected Vegetable Oils and Fats

Compounds, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(1), P. 37 - 70

Published: Jan. 17, 2024

The fatty acid (FA) compositions of thirty-nine vegetable oils and fats, including nangai nut, pili shea butter, tamanu oil, baobab, sea buckthorn berry, Brazil grape seed, black evening primrose, passion fruit, milk thistle, sunflower, pumpkin sesame, soybean, flax kukui, red raspberry walnut, chia hemp rosehip, almond, avocado, carrot moringa, apricot kernel, camellia macadamia, olive, marula, argan, castor, jojoba, pomegranate medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) coconut, roasted canola, mustard were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Vegetable fats have different profiles in terms their composition, major constituents vary significantly. However, we categorized them into classes based on the percentages acids they contain. saturated acids, such as palmitic stearic acid, unsaturated oleic linoleic linolenic are main categories. Among them, coconut oil contained greatest amount followed by nut (45.61%). Passion fruit largest (66.23%), while seed had highest content (58.25%). Oleic was exclusively present constituting 78.57% its composition. Notably, a significant presence erucic (54.32%), punicic (74.77%). Jojoba primarily consisted (Z)-11-eicosenoic (29.55%) (Z)-docos-13-en-1-ol (27.96%). constituent castor ricinoleic (89.89%). Compared with other (E)-FA (20.62%), berry 9.60%. FA from sources may be problematic human diet due to no labeling or absence essential components. Therefore, consumers must cast an eye over some components consumed dietary intake.

The Essential Properties of Oils for Biodiesel Production

IntechOpen eBooks, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 22, 2025

The quest for production of high-quality biodiesel with improved combustion properties at low cost, and the commercialization biodiesel, has remained a relevant topic in today’s global energy market due to need achieve extensive substitution fossil diesel fuel. This chapter examined essential oils optimal provided comprehensive guideline identification suitable oil feed-stocks, selection appropriate processing parameters as well methods optimized minimal cost. It enumerated various feed-stocks production, known physicochemical feedstock oils. include viscosity, specific gravity, flash point, kinematic free fatty acid, saponification value, acid moisture content, calorific cetane number, cloud pour oxidation stability, iodine peroxide refractive index. determination oils’ characteristics, comparison recommended ASTM D6751 values, prior conversion is selecting best pretreatment post-treatment be deployed process. properties, which are closely related performance determine quality its yield, produced engines, aid determining how handle bio-oil process obtain enhanced properties. In writing this chapter, review research publications, conference papers on other articles, was undertaken, findings presented.
