SUMMARY:

The depletion of oil reserves in the world and the environmental pollution caused by the dependence on this fossil
source in transport and energy sectors lead to increase of the interest in alternative renewable sources. Vegetable
oils and animal fats are good examples for that matter but usually they require physico-chemical modifications before
use. Some ester interchange reactions as trans and interesterification are commonly applied to achieve these
improvements. In that regard, the aim of this work is to study the chemical interesterification process involving raw
materials (soybean oil, castor oil, coconut oil, beef tallow) to obtain products with possible applications in the biofuels
and biolubricants sectors, as well as using interesterified products to understand the role of fatty acid distribution on
biodiesel production by transesterification.
