Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the viscosity of biodiesel fuels from their fatty acid ester composition
TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of a logarithmic mixture equation was verified using controlled mixtures of standard fatty acid esters and natural biodiesels, and the average prediction error of ±3% was obtained for these samples.
Book
Marine biogenic lipids, fats, and oils
TL;DR: This monograph will put the biogenic marine lipids of many organisms in perspective and help researchers relate these basic building blocks of lipids in the fascinating world of marine organisms to contemporary interest in human biochemistry, nutrition, and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The gas chromatograph in practical analyses of common and uncommon fatty acids for the 21st century
TL;DR: Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) has been widely used in the field of analytical analysis of short-chain fatty acids and has been used in many applications, such as volatile lipids and related materials as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) muscle lipids and their response to alternative dietary fatty acid sources
TL;DR: Post-smolt Atlantic salmon were fed one of four diets with 10% of lipid sources differing in fatty acid combinations, providing newly formed lipids, representing dietary fatty acid input, for study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the surface tension of biodiesel fuels from their fatty acid composition
TL;DR: In this article, a method to predict the surface tension of biodiesel fuels based on the fatty acid composition is presented. But the results show that the differences in surface tension between biodiesel types are not the main cause of the reported differences in engine tests.
