Hi Keith and Everyone,
#4 Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments Continued
In the case of mono,di, and triglycerides, fats and oils, R1 is the aliphatic
hydrocarbon (C4 to C24)
chain, R2 is glycerol and R3 is a hydrocarbon group, and preferably a short-
chain alkyl group, more
preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl group attached to the alcohol. In
the case of free fatty acids,
R1 is the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain wherein the terminal carboxylic acid
group could be
R1COO or R1COOM+ where M+ is a metal (thus, the salt of a free fatty
acid); and, R3 is the
short-chain hydrocarbon attached to the alcohol. In the case of a wax, R is
an aliphatic hydrocarbon
chain linked to R2 via the carboxylic ester linkage, and R3 is the
short-chain hydrocarbon attached
to the alcohol.
To be continued,
David Cruse
