The general formula is R-(CH2)n-COOH. Fatty acids are predominantly unbranched and those with even numbers of carbon atoms between 12 and 22 carbons long react with glycerol to form lipids (fat-soluble components of living cells) in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Fatty acids all have common names respectively lauric (C12), myrIstic (C14), palmitic (C16), stearic (C18), oleic (C18, unsaturated), and linoleic (C18, polyunsaturated) acids. The saturated fatty acids have no double bonds, while oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid has one double bond (also described as olefinic) and polyunsaturated fatty acids like linolenic acid contain two or more double bonds. Lauric acid (also called Dodecanoic acid) is the main acid in coconut oil (45 - 50 percent) and palm kernel oil (45 - 55 percent). Nutmeg butter is rich in myristic acid (also called Tetradecanoic acid ) which constitutes 60-75 percent of the fatty-acid content. Palmitic acid(also called Hexadecylic acid ) constitutes between 20 and 30 percent of most animal fats and is also an important constituent of most vegetable fats (35 - 45 percent of palm oil). Stearic acid (also called Octadecanoic Acid) is nature's most common long-chain fatty acids, derived from animal and vegetable fats. It is widely used as a lubricant and as an additive in industrial preparations. It is used in the manufacture of metallic stearates, pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging. It is also used as a softener, accelerator activator and dispersing agent in rubbers. Oleic acid (systematic chemical name is cis-octadec-9-enoic acid) is the most abundant of the unsaturated fatty acids in nature. Stearic Acid is widely used as a lubricant and as an additive in industrial preparations. It is used in the manufacture of metallic stearates, pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging. It is also used as a softener, accelerator activator and dispersing agent in rubbers.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FAT Commercial fats produced by organic processes in plants are palm, coconut, palm kernel, sunflower, soybean, and other oils. Their main components are triolein and triglyceryl esters of stearic (C18), palmitic (C16), myristic(C14), lauric (C12), oleic (C18:1), and other fatty acids. Tallow is a refined hard fat extracted from fatty deposits of animals, especially from suet (fatty tissues around the kidneys of cattle and sheep). The molecules of most natural fatty acids have an even number of carbon chains due to the linkage together by ester units. Analogous compounds of odd numbers carbon chain fatty acids can be made synthetically. All fats are insoluble in water and have lighter weight than water. Industrial fats can be sub-classified as fat, grease or oil depending on melting point. Fats that are liquid at room temperature are referred to oil. Grease has a higher initial viscosity than oil. It is used as a lubricant. The organic processes to convert fats to fatty acids (or esters) and glycerol is called oleochemistry. Fatty acids and glycerol are produced by hydrolysis (addition reaction of water molecule with cleavage of parent molecules) of the triglycerides. Fatty esters are produced by esterification reaction. Coconut or palm oils are better source to get saturated fatty acids than sunflower, soybean or rapeseed oils which have more unsaturated fatty acids composition of triglycerides. Tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) is a low cost unsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid) and is a source of low boiling point fatty acids. It is an alternative to tallow fatty acid in soap applications. Generally, commercial coconut fatty acid has carbon chain composition of; C10 (5% max) + C12 (45 - 55%) + C14 (20 - 25%) + C16 (10 - 15 %) + C18 (10 - 15% max, including unsaturated fatty acids). Fats are used to make soap, food products, cosmetics, and candles, and lubricants. They are wisely used in producing synthetic surfactants. PRICE INFORMATION Please contact us at [email protected] .

Description 3.1 Prologue to Lipids In 1943, the term lipid was first used by BLOOR, a German biochemist. Lipids are heterogeneous group of compounds present in plants and animal tissues related either actually or potentially to the fatty acids. They are amphipathic molecules, hydrophobic in nature originated utterly or in part by thioesters (carbanion-based condensations of fatty acids and/or polyketides etc) or by isoprene units (carbocation-based condensations of prenols, sterols, etc). Lipids have the universal property of being: i. Quite insoluble in water (polar solvent) ii. Soluble in benzene, chloroform, ether (non-polar solvent) 3 METABOLISM OF LIPIDS Biochemistry Prologue to Lipids Thus, lipids include oils, fats, waxes, steroids, vitamins (A, D, E and K) and related compounds, such as phospholipids, triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and others, which are allied more by their physical properties than by their chemical assests.

Reactions of Unsaturated Fatty chemical utilization while simultaneously increasing the agricultural Compounds 3858 biodiversity. The problem of the industrial utilization of food plant oils 4. Enzymatic and Microbial has become more urgent with the development of the global biodiesel Transformations 3864 production. The remarkable advances made during the last decade in organic synthesis, catalysis, and biotechnology using plant oils and the 5. Summary and Outlook 3867 basic oleochemicals derived from them will be reported, including, for example, w-functionalization of fatty acids containing internal double bonds, application of the olefin metathesis reaction, and de novo synthesis of fatty acids from abundantly available renewable carbon sources.

In this study, a simulated wastewater flow experiment was conducted to elucidate the mechanism of sewer pipe blockage using lauric acid as fatty acid and florisil to simulate FOG and SS blockages, respectively. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride pipes (φ = 50 mm) with a flow speed of 2 L/min and 1% inclination were used in this experiment. In “Case L & F (lauric acid florisil),” the deposition of florisil and adhesion of solids increased at the bottom of the sewer pipe over a set period.
