Abstract
The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing fatty acid amides or alkoxylated fatty acid esters comprising the step of converting oil extracted from a Macauba palm having an oil yield in tons per hectare per year of at least 6 t/ha/yr into the fatty acid amides or alkoxylated fatty acid esters. Further, the present invention relates to fatty acid amides or alkoxylated fatty acid esters obtained from the fruits of a Macauba palm having an oil yield in tons per hectare per year of at least 6 t/ha/yr and the use thereof in suitable applications.
