Optimization of dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA) production via in situ hydrolysis of Epoxidized oleic acid using Taguchi Orthogonal Array design / Ismail Md Rasib

Concern regarding the setback of dependency on using fossil fuels as the main resources as the precursor for many derivatives had drawn an attention to further study on production of dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA) by in-situ hydrolysis of epoxidized oleic acid with reaction rate estimate by MATLAB by...
