"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."
