Abstract
This disclosure provides a triglyceride oil possessing an extremely low cloud point and low viscosity concomitant with a higher than anticipated saturated fatty acid content, very low polyunsaturated fatty acid content, and low iodine value. While many naturally occurring triglyceride oils possess one or more of these properties, natural triglyceride oils lack one or more of these attributes, thus making them less than ideal in industrial applications, such as lubricants, fuels, or dielectric fluids. The combination of attributes possessed by a triglyceride oil described herein, achieved without the addition of any additives, is unique compared with natural counterparts and as such, can find wide applications in the aforementioned fields.
Claims20
A triglyceride oil comprising:
- a C10:0 fatty acid at an amount of greater than 0% and up to 25%,
- a C10:1 fatty acid at an amount of 5% or more,
- a C12:0 fatty acid at an amount of greater than 0% and up to 9%, and
- a C12:1 fatty acid at an amount of 50% or more on a weight percentage basis.
