The Austrian Biofuels Institute currently maintains an ongoing database on the global biodiesel industry (49). Their current statistics reveal that most biodiesel is obtained from canola (low emcic acid rapeseed 84%) and sunflower (13%). European biodiesel production dominated world production in 2000 and Europeans have chosen canola oil as the mainstay for manufacturing biodiesel. However, recent facility constmction (50) and legislative action (51) in North America may lead to rapid increases in biodiesel production (Table 2). The State of Minnesota has passed legislation that mandates the inclusion of 2% biodiesel in all diesel fuel sold in the state (51). European and American biodiesel production is rapidly increasing. In 2000, U.S. production was just 22 ML (Table 3).

It was shown how industrial waste like surplus whey, crude glycerol phase, lignocellu-loses, molasses and residues from the slaughtering and biodiesel industry can be upgraded to substrates for biopolymer production. Applying such waste streams as carbon source can be regarded as the most promising route to make the entire PHA biopolymer production process economically competitive this is valid for bulk plastics made of petrochemical competitors as well as for special polymers currently used for niche products. 

Also, the growth and the PHA accumulation on wastes and by-produets have been paid important attention in recent years, in order to enhanee the eeonomie and sustainable efficiencies. Thus, different alternative substrates were tested - such as vinasse, oil palm frond juice, soybean oil, waste glyeerol and other by-products from the biodiesel industry.Unfortunately up to now these strategies have not shown comparable productivities as an artificial carbon source (only 67.2 g of PHB were produced when soybean oil was used as a substrate).

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatly acid found in high concentrations in vegetable oils, presenting a broad number of applications in many industrial areas, such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, oleochemical and biodiesel industries. Due to the lipophilicity, unsaturation and acidic characteristics that this compound presents, oleic acid can be effectively ttsed in esterification and acidolysis, among other reactions. Recent studies have used oleic acid as an efficient substrate for synthesis of trimethylolpropane esters by esterification using lipase from Candida Antarctica, since this polyol ester is widely applied in hydraulic...

The less hydrophilic polyols and sugar alcohols can also be used as polar heads for the design of bio-based hydrotropes. Glycerol being widely available as the by-product of the biodiesel industry, it has received particular interest.
