Methyl esters of coconut, palm kernel and palm oils were transesterified with 2-ethylhexanol, trimethylolpropane or neopentylglycol to produce monoester and polyol esters in this study. Experimental investigations were conducted to explore the thermal-oxidative characteristics and catalytic effects...
