"The invention provides a single-phase process for the conversion of a mixture of fatty acids and triglycerides. In the process, fatty acids are converted to methyl esters by an acid-catalyzed reaction with methanol. The solution is then neutralized and a base is added to catalyze the reaction of the triglycerides with methanol to form methyl esters. The entire reaction is carried out in the same phase, and steps to separate phases are not required." Ken __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
