  • Patent number: 5491226
    Abstract: A process for preparing polyol fatty acid polyesters having levels of triglyceride below 0.5% is described. Methyl esters having a level of monoglycerides below 500 ppm, a nondetectable level of di- and triglyceride and a glycerine level of less than about 200 ppm are prepared and then used in a two-stage, solvent-free transesterification reaction to prepare the polyol fatty acid polyesters.

  • Patent number: 5318790
    Abstract: Polyol polyesters are purified by a process comprising bleaching with a specific silica gel and/or heat treatment and removal of volatile products by steam deodorization. Any steam deodorization is at reduced temperatures or in admixture with triglycerides to minimize thermal degradation of the polyol polyesters.
