Features:

• Presents an overview of oleochemicals at the research and professional levels
• Addresses applications of oleochemical research
• Covers the environmental advantages and disadvantages of oleochemicals in respect to their production, use, and disposal

Oleochemical Manufacture and Applications presents an overview of oleochemicals at the research and professional levels, with an emphasis on their industrial production and applications. Approximately half of the chapters consider general matters, while the other half deals with applications.

Authors are drawn from industrial and academic laboratories around the world. Oleochemical Manufacture and Applications is an invaluable reference for chemists and technologists working on the production and use of oleochemicals, analytical chemists, quality assurance personnel, and lipid chemists in academic research laboratories.
