Triglyceride mixture is fractionated to obtain product(s) of Iodine Value different from that of such mixture utilizing particular resin adsorbent and particular solvent.

Fractionation of triglyceride mixtures

Triglyceride mixture is fractionated (on the basis of Iodine Value) utilizing selected surface aluminated silica gel adsorbent and selected solvent(s).

Fractionation of triglyceride mixture

Alkyl fatty carboxylate mixture is separated according to degree of unsaturation utilizing selected surface aluminated silica gel adsorbent and selected solvent(s).

Fractionation of alkylcarboxylate mixtures

Alkyl fatty carboxylate mixture is separated according to degree of unsaturation utilizing selected permutite adsorbent and selected solvent(s).

Fractionation of alkyl carboxylate mixtures

Triglyceride mixture is fractionated (on the basis of Iodine Value) utilizing selected permutite adsorbent and selected solvent(s).

A process for hydrolyzing triglyceride having its carboxylic acid moieties containing from 6 to 26 carbon atoms involves reacting with water in the presence of low molecular weight displacing acid catalyst, strong acid catalyst and sufficient water to form water and oil phases, to produce carboxylic acids corresponding to said moieties and glycerine.

Hydrolysis of triglycerides

Continuous, countercurrent flow, fluid-solid contacting process for the separation of more unsaturated fatty acid ester from a less unsaturated fatty acid ester in a mixture comprising the two types of esters. The solid adsorbent utilized in said process is a Type X or Type Y zeolite containing specified cations at the exchangeable cationic sites, and the desorbent is a mixture of a paraffinic hydrocarbon and an ether.

Process for separating esters of fatty acids

A process for hydrolyzing methyl esters having carboxylic acid moieties containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms involves reacting said esters with water in the presence of carboxylic acid and strong acid catalysts to produce acid corresponding to reactant ester and methanol and driving the reaction toward completion by removing the methanol.

Hydrolysis of methyl esters

Fruit abscission is induced by application to a fruit bearing plant of particular sulfides and sulfide derivatives optionally in combination with non-phytotoxic surfactant different from said sulfides and derivatives. The sulfides and derivatives have the structural formula RXR' wherein R' is methyl or ethyl, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of sulfide, sulfoxide and sulfone, and R is akyl or alkenyl having 10-12 carbon atoms when X is sulfide or sulfoxide and 8-14 carbon atoms when X is sulfone.
