Description
Summary:Epoxidized vegetable oil is a versatile material with a wide range of applications. Studies relating to epoxidation of fatty acids have garnered much interest in recent years due to the rising demand for eco-friendly epoxides derived from vegetable oils. However, the epoxidation process is often inefficient and can produce undesirable by products. In this study, a Taguchi experimental design was used to optimize the epoxidized sunflower oil-derived linoleic acid (ESOLA) using in situ generated peracid.
