Abstract
A method can include receiving an oxygenate sample, fractioning the oxygenate sample into one or more fractions, and separating the fractions (e.g. using FAME fractionation, FAEE fractionation, crystallization, solvent extraction, or other similar methods). The fractions can optionally be separated independently. The method can optionally include esterifying carboxylic acids separated from the fractions with glycerol and deodorizing the glycerides.
Claims18
A method for forming a triglyceride sample comprising:
- a) receiving a hydrocarbon sample formed from an inorganic carbon feedstock;
- b) oxidizing the hydrocarbon sample to form an oxygenate sample;
- c) fractioning the oxygenate sample into a first narrow oxygenate distribution and a second narrow oxygenate distribution;
- d) separating carboxylic acids in the first narrow oxygenate distribution from other oxygenates;
- e) independent of d separating carboxylic acids in the second narrow oxygenate distribution from other oxygenates;
- and
- f) esterifying the carboxylic acids from d and e with glycerol to form the triglyceride sample.
