Low Calorie Oil Production through Transesterification Using Sodium Methoxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Short-chain triglycerides i.e. the low calorie oil was produced by transesterification with soybean oil and glycerol triacetate using sodium methoxide as catalyst. The reaction conditions were optimized and the yield reached 73.14 % under this conditions. The calorific values of the soybean oil and the product were measured and the value for the later was 32 450 J/g which was approximately 71 % of the former.
