Methods of making high-weight esters, acids, and derivatives thereof

摘要: Methods and compositions are provided for refining natural oils producing high-weight esters, acids, and/or derivatives thereof, wherein the made by cross-metathesizing low-weight unsaturated esters or acids having hydrocarbon chain lengths less than equal to C24 with an olefin feedstock, thereby forming a metathesized product composition including greater C18, at least portion of in larger starting feedstock.
