| Summary: | Oleochemicals are made from vegetable and animal oils and fats and/or petrochemical feedstocks. They range from fatty acids, glycerine, alcohols and metallic soaps to fatty nitriles and their derivatives. This course towards providing the foundation in the various processes involve in oleochemistry. It covers the formation of basic oleochemicals such as Fatty Acids, Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), Fatty Alcohols, Fatty Amines and glycerol through enzymatic chemical reactions. It also includes the production of upstream chemical products derived from oleochemical feedstocks. The application of basic oleochemical products is also discussed including brief visits to commercially available oleochemical plants around the Klang Valley. |
