Abstract
Bioparaffins, derived from soybean oil, hold significant potential as sustainable alternatives to mineral waxes in various industrial applications. However, to fully exploit their benefits, it is necessary to engineer their performance and properties. In this work, a non-linear partial least squares (PLS) algorithm was used to relate the melting profiles obtained via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to the chemical composition determined by gas chromatography (GC) of simple and binary mixtures of (partially) hydrogenated samples. This model was used to determine the composition of a bioparaffin to mimic the thermal and textural properties of commercial mineral paraffin. This innovative approach allows for broader adoption in industries seeking sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based waxes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
