Publication number: 20080281115Abstract: A novel, chemically-modified partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (PHVO) is described. The PHVO is produced by a three-step reaction process that includes epoxidation, a ring-opening reaction, followed by esterification. The modified PHVO has improved kneadability and, if mixed with fully hydrogenated fat(s), hardness comparable to unmodified PHVO.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2008Publication date: November 13, 2008Applicant: IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: Tong Wang, Liping Wang

Publication number: 20080262255Abstract: A method for modifying ethylenic unsaturation in a triglyceride. One or more unsaturated fatty acyl moieties present in the triglyceride are substituted with a lactone or ketone moiety via a electron acceptor mediated reaction. The resulting reaction products are useful, for example, as lubricants, metalworking fluids, mold release agents, hydraulic fluids, or dielectric fluids, or as components of lubricants, metalworking fluids, mold release agents, hydraulic fluids, or dielectric fluids, and intermediates for polymer synthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2008Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: Bunge Oils, Inc.Inventors: Neil Wallace Higgins, Jerry F. Stults
