  • Synthesis and characterization of esters from different alcohols using Macauba Almond Oil to substitute diesel Oil and jet fuel
    Fuel, 2016
    Co-Authors: Larissa Noemi Silva, Claudia Cristina Cardoso, Vanya Márcia Duarte Pasa
    Abstract:

    Macauba is a still little investigated and exploited palmaceae native to South America with a high Oil yield (6200 kg/ha). Its Almond Oil is rich in lauric acid and presents low acidity. In this study, we carried out the transesterification of crude Macauba Almond Oil over homogeneous catalysts using methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and isobutanol. Its products were characterized by 1H NMR, kinematic viscosity, density, lubricity and cold performance through DSC analysis and cold filter plugging point. A worse conversion to monoesters was obtained over the isopropyl route, while high conversions were observed with ethanol if compared with methanol. Also, winterization of the ethanolysis product was conducted and the crystallization temperatures of the synthesized biofuels and blends with fossil diesel or jet fuel were evaluated. The results indicate the feasibility of replacing conventional commercial biodiesel with those proposed in this work as they exhibit possible performance gains. However, the preliminary results indicate that only small proportions could fit the biojet fuel performance specifications at low temperatures.

    Food Science, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yang Hai-yan
    Abstract:

    The lipid composition of Almond Oil was analyzed and the microencapsulation efficiencies of different wall material were compared. The results showed high containing of saturated fatty acids as 70.39% in Almond Oil contained and the polyunsaturated fatty acid accounted for 21.52% of total lipids. Large changes of POV of Almond Oil were observed before microencapsulation and the rate of changes were decreased smoothly by microencapsulation. Arabic gum/maltodextrin blends were found to provide the best microencapsulation efficiency of 97.28% with more symmetrical particle size (average particle size was 139.0 nm). This microencapsulated Oil showed high stability with slight change of POV during storage.

  • An Improved Method for Determination of Cyanide Content in Bitter Almond Oil.
    Journal of Oleo Science, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jia Chen, Lei Liu, Rui Zhang
    Abstract:

    An improved colorimetric method for determination of cyanide content in bitter Almond Oil was developed. The optimal determination parameters were as follows: volume ratio of hydrochloric acid to bitter Almond Oil (v/v), 1.5:1; holding time for hydrolysis, 120 min; and volume ratio of distillation solution to bitter Almond Oil (v/v), 8:1. Analytical results showed that the relative standard deviations (SDs) of determinations were less than 10%, which satisfies the test requirements. The results of high-performance liquid chromatography and measurements exhibited a significant correlation (R = 0.9888, SD = 0.2015). Therefore, the improved colorimetric method can be used to determine cyanide content in bitter Almond Oil.

  • efficient salt aided aqueous extraction of bitter Almond Oil
    Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2017
    Co-Authors: Lei Liu, Zhong Zhao, Rui Zhang
    Abstract:

    Salt-aided aqueous extraction (SAAE) is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly method of Oil extraction that is influenced by many factors. In the present study, we investigated the effect of SAAE on bitter Almond Oil yield.; Results: This study used sodium bicarbonate solution as extraction solvent and the optimal extraction parameters predicted by Box-Behnken design (i.e., concentration of sodium bicarbonate, 0.4 mol L-1 ; solvent-to-sample ratio, 5:1; extraction temperature, 84 °C; extraction time, 60 min), for Oil recovery of 90.9%. The physiochemical characteristics of the extracted Oil suggest that the quality was similar to that of the aqueous enzymatic extracted Oil. Moreover, the content of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in bitter Almond Oil was found to be less than 5 mg kg-1 , which was lower compared to that obtained by other reported methods. Results of microanalysis indicated that SAAE led to significant improvement in Oil yield by allowing the release of Oil and decreasing the emulsion fraction. Therefore, extraction of bitter Almond Oil by SAAE is feasible.; Conclusion: These results demonstrate that extraction of bitter Almond Oil by SAAE based on the salt effect is feasible on a laboratory scale. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.; © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
