      Gallart-Sirvent, Pau; Martín Llop, Marc; Solé, Aran; Villorbina Noguera, Gemma; Balcells, Mercè; CABEZA, LUISA F.; Canela-Garayoa, Ramon Elsevier (2018)
      The thermal properties of various alkylthreo-9, 10-dihydroxystearates (DHSEs) prepared from non-edible fat were studied. Non-edible animal fat was hydrolyzed in a 93% yield with R. oryzae resting cells. Crude unsaturated ...

      Gallart-Sirvent, Pau; Martín Llop, Marc; Villorbina Noguera, Gemma; Balcells, Mercè; Solé, Aran; Barreneche, Camila; CABEZA, LUISA F.; Canela-Garayoa, Ramon Royal Society of Chemistry (2017)
      A set of compounds from non-edible fat waste was prepared and their thermal behavior was studied. The fat was hydrolyzed and crystallized in a simple and robust process to yield palmitic acid–stearic acid (PA–SA) mixtures. ...
