Abstract
In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a deodorized fatty acid salt feed supplement. Primary amine reagent is added to a process medium in which C.sub.14 -C.sub.22 fatty acid with a content of malodorous carbonyl compound is converted into a deodorized C.sub.14 -C.sub.22 fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product.
Claims11
A process for the production of a deodorized fatty acid salt feed supplement product which comprises (1) forming an admixture of reactive ingredients comprising (a) at least one C.sub.14 -C.sub.22 fatty acid which has a detectable content of malodorous carbonyl compound, (b) between about 0.8-1.5 equivalents of basic alkaline earth metal compound per equivalent of C.sub.14 -C.sub.22 fatty acid, (c) between about 10-80 weight percent of an aqueous medium, based on the weight of fatty acid, and (d) between about 0.1-10 weight percent of R--NH.sub.2 primary amine, based on the weight of fatty acid, where R in the primary amine formula is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 organic substituent;
- and (2) recovering a deodorized fatty acid salt product after completion of the exothermic salt-forming reaction.
