  • Process for the transesterification of fat and/or oil by heterogeneous catalysis
    Publication number: 20050020843
    Abstract: A process for preparing fat and/or oil with a modified distribution of fatty acids in the glycerides by heterogeneously catalysed transesterification, wherein the process comprises reaction of the fat and/or oil of biological origin to be transesterified in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a metal salt of a basic amino acid or an amino acid derivative. The disadvantages of conventional transesterification processes can be overcome by using this catalyst.

  • Process for the transesterification of fat and/or oil of biological origin by means of alcoholysis
    Patent number: 6359157
    Abstract: A process for the transesterification of fat and/or oil of biological origin by means of alcoholysis comprises the following steps: provision in a vessel of fat and/or oil of biological origin to be transesterified, and implementation of alcoholysis by addition of an alkanol, in particular of a monohydric alkanol, and of a catalyst to the fat and/or oil that has been provided. with a view to eliminating the disadvantages of traditional transesterification processes, a metal salt of an amino acid or of an amino-acid derivative is used as catalyst, said metal salt being insoluble in alkanols.
