He demonstrated that the hpid fraction of the raw sewage sludge accounted for approximately 50% of the biodegradable COD of the sludge. Further he showed that hydrolysis of the triglycerides, which accounted for 66% of the lipid COD, was essentially complete at values of Oc less than the values of 6c required for effective methane fermentation of the long chain fatty acid hydrolysis products. Stearic and palmitic... 

The third aspect of improvement may mean an entirely different process for making an old substance. For many decades soap has been manufactured by caustic soda saponification of fats in the batch process. In recent years plants have been installed for the high pressure, high temperature rapid hydrolysis of fats in the countercurrent liquid mixed phase using water and a catalyst. In this case the sodium fatty acid or the soap may be prepared by neutralizing the free fatty acid hydrolysis product with caustic soda or soda ash depending upon convenience and the market. Naturally the unit consumption factors changed when the improved process was used. 

Alternatively, the alkoxyl radical can attack an adjacent double bond to form an epoxide and a carbon-centered radical [36]. Subsequent addition of Oj generates an epoxyperoxyl radical that can form an epoxyhydroperoxide or undergo the reduction/ oxidation steps above to give an epoxyalcohol or epoxyketo fatty acid. Hydrolysis of the epoxide gives triol componnds. 

Orlistat (tetrahydrolipstatin) is a reversible inhibitor of oral, gastric, and pancreatic lipases. This inhibitor forms an ester linkage with serine (serine-152) in the active site of the lipase so that a decrease in the rate of lipid hydrolysis will occur [37]. Orlistat decreases the oral taste sensitivity to both oleic acid and triolein in obese subjects [38]. These results further suggest a role for lingual lipase in oral fat hydrolysis and detection. However, a conclusive role for human lingual lipase in oral fatty acid hydrolysis and detection still remains imclear at the present time [39]. 

Unlike chemical interesterification, the catalytic action of lipases is reversible. In aqueous conditions lipases promote lipolysis, whereas in a water-poor environment synthesis reactions predominate. Lipase-catalyzed synthesis reactions have been studied since the 1970s, when Tsujisaka et al. (1977) showed that lipases could catalyze the formation of TAGs from partial acylglycerols and free fatty acids. Hydrolysis reactions have been studied since the 1950s (Brocker-hoff and Jensen, 1974). 

C22H34O2. A straight-chain fatty acid with 5 double bonds. A major component of fish oils and the oils of marine animals, clupeine Protamine class protein found in the sperm and testicles of the herring. On hydrolysis it gives about 90% of argenine. 

Fats are hydrolysed to glycerol and fatty acids by boiling with acids and alkalis, by superheated steam and by the action of lipases. If alkalis are used for hydrolysis, the fatty acids combine with the alkalis to form soaps. Alkaline hydrolysis is therefore sometimes called saponification. 

SNG Substitute natural gas. soaps Sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids, particularly stearic, palmitic and oleic acids. Animal and vegetable oils and fats, from which soaps are prepared, consist essentially of the glyceryl esters of these acids. In soap manufacture the oil or fat is heated with dilute NaOH (less frequently KOH) solution in large vats. When hydrolysis is complete the soap is salted out , or precipitated from solution by addition of NaCl. The soap is then treated, as required, with perfumes, etc. and made into tablets. 

Although extraction of lipids from membranes can be induced in atomic force apparatus (Leckband et al., 1994) and biomembrane force probe (Evans et al., 1991) experiments, spontaneous dissociation of a lipid from a membrane occurs very rarely because it involves an energy barrier of about 20 kcal/mol (Cevc and Marsh, 1987). However, lipids are known to be extracted from membranes by various enzymes. One such enzyme is phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which complexes with membrane surfaces, destabilizes a phospholipid, extracts it from the membrane, and catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction of the srir2-acyl chain of the lipid, producing lysophospholipids and fatty acids (Slotboom et al., 1982 Dennis, 1983 Jain et al., 1995). SMD simulations were employed to investigate the extraction of a lipid molecule from a DLPE monolayer by human synovial PLA2 (see Eig. 6b), and to compare this process to the extraction of a lipid from a lipid monolayer into the aqueous phase (Stepaniants et al., 1997). 

N-Benzylamides are recommended when the corresponding acid is liquid and/or water-soluble so that it cannot itself serve as a derivative. Phe benzylamides derived from the simple fatty acids or their esters are not altogether satisfactory (see Table below) those derived from most hydroxy-acids and from poly basic acids or their esters are formed in good yield and are easily purified. The esters of aromatic acids yield satisfactory derivatives but the method must compete with the equally simple process of hydrolysis and precipitation of the free acid, an obvious derivative when the acid is a solid. The procedure fails with esters of keto, sul phonic, inorganic and some halogenated aliphatic esters. 

The term fat is applied to solid esters of fatty acids with glycerol (glycerides) if the fat is liquid at the ordinary temperature, it is conventionally called a fatty oil, vegetable oil or animal oil. The acids which occur most abundantly are palmitic ticid CH3(CHj),4COOH, stearic acid CH3(CH2)isCOOH and oleic acid CH3(CH2),CH=CH(CH2),C00H. Upon hydrolysis, fats yield glycerol and the alkali salts of these acids (soaps) ...

Secondary alcohols (C q—for surfactant iatermediates are produced by hydrolysis of secondary alkyl borate or boroxiae esters formed when paraffin hydrocarbons are air-oxidized ia the presence of boric acid [10043-35-3] (19,20). Union Carbide Corporation operated a plant ia the United States from 1964 until 1977. A plant built by Nippon Shokubai (Japan Catalytic Chemical) ia 1972 ia Kawasaki, Japan was expanded to 30,000 t/yr capacity ia 1980 (20). The process has been operated iadustriaHy ia the USSR siace 1959 (21). Also, predominantiy primary alcohols are produced ia large volumes ia the USSR by reduction of fatty acids, or their methyl esters, from permanganate-catalyzed air oxidation of paraffin hydrocarbons (22). The paraffin oxidation is carried out ia the temperature range 150—180°C at a paraffin conversion generally below 20% to a mixture of trialkyl borate, (RO)2B, and trialkyl boroxiae, (ROBO). Unconverted paraffin is separated from the product mixture by flash distillation. After hydrolysis of residual borate esters, the boric acid is recovered for recycle and the alcohols are purified by washing and distillation (19,20). 

Fatty acids are susceptible to oxidative attack and cleavage of the fatty acid chain. As oxidation proceeds, the shorter-chain fatty acids break off and produce progressively higher levels of malodorous material. This condition is known as rancidity. Another source of rancidity in fatty foods is the enzymatic hydrolysis of the fatty acid from the glycerol. The effect of this reaction on nutritional aspects of foods is poorly understood andhttie research has been done in the area. 

Manufacture of Fatty Acids and Derivatives. Splitting of fats to produce fatty acids and glycerol (a valuable coproduct) has been practiced since before the 1890s. In early processes, concentrated alkaU reacted with fats to produce soaps followed by acidulation to produce the fatty acids. Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, mostly with sulfuric and sulfonic acids, was also practiced. Pressurized equipment was introduced to accelerate the rate of the process, and finally continuous processes were developed to maximize completeness of the reaction (105). Lipolytic enzymes maybe utilized to spHt... 

The sweet water from continuous and batch autoclave processes for splitting fats contains tittle or no mineral acids and salts and requires very tittle in the way of purification, as compared to spent lye from kettle soapmaking (9). The sweet water should be processed promptly after splitting to avoid degradation and loss of glycerol by fermentation. Any fatty acids that rise to the top of the sweet water are skimmed. A small amount of alkali is added to precipitate the dissolved fatty acids and neutralize the liquor. The alkaline liquor is then filtered and evaporated to an 88% cmde glycerol. Sweet water from modem noncatalytic, continuous hydrolysis may be evaporated to ca 88% without chemical treatment. 

In general, the presence of fatty acid groups in the phosphoHpid molecule permits reactions such as saponification, hydrolysis, hydrogenation, halogenation, sulfonation, phosphorylation, elaidinization, and ozonization (6). 

Hydrolysis. The first effect of either acid hydrolysis or alkaline hydrolysis (saponification) is the removal of the fatty acids. The saponification value of commercial lecithin is 196. Further decomposition into glycerol, phosphoric acid, and head groups (ie, choline, ethanolamine, etc) may foUow prolonged heating. Lecithin may also be hydrolyzed by enzymes. 

Acid Hydrolysis. With hot concentrated mineral acids, primary nitroparaffins yield a fatty acid and a hydroxylamine salt. If anhydrous acid and lower temperatures are used, the intermediate hydroxamic acid can be recovered. 

Saponification can proceed direcdy as a one-step reaction as shown above, or it can be achieved indirectly by a two-step reaction where the intermediate step generates fatty acids through simple hydrolysis of the fats and oils and the finishing step forms soap through the neutralization of the fatty acid with caustic soda. There are practical considerations which must be addressed when performing this reaction on a commercial scale. 

The quaHty, ie, level of impurities, of the fats and oils used in the manufacture of soap is important in the production of commercial products. Fats and oils are isolated from various animal and vegetable sources and contain different intrinsic impurities. These impurities may include hydrolysis products of the triglyceride, eg, fatty acid and mono/diglycerides proteinaceous materials and particulate dirt, eg, bone meal and various vitamins, pigments, phosphatides, and sterols, ie, cholesterol and tocopherol as weU as less descript odor and color bodies. These impurities affect the physical properties such as odor and color of the fats and oils and can cause additional degradation of the fats and oils upon storage. For commercial soaps, it is desirable to keep these impurities at the absolute minimum for both storage stabiHty and finished product quaHty considerations. 

Commercially, soap is most commonly produced through either the direct saponification of fats and oils with caustic or the hydrolysis of fats and oils to fatty acids followed by stoichiometric (equal molar) neutralization with caustic. Both of these approaches yield workable soap in the form of concentrated soap solutions (- 70% soap). This concentration of soap is the target on account of the aqueous-phase properties of soap as well as practical limitations resulting from these properties. Hence, before discussing the commercial manufacturing of soap, it is imperative to understand the phase properties of soap. 

Fatty Acid Neutralization. Another approach to produce soap is through the neutralization of fatty acids with caustic. This approach requires a stepwise process where fatty acids are produced through the hydrolysis of fats and oils by water, followed by subsequent neutralization with appropriate caustics. This approach has a number of inherent benefits over the saponification process.

Olestra is prepared by a solvenfless transesterification process in which sucrose is treated with methyl ester of fatty acids in the presence of sodium methoxide between 100—180°C for 14 hours (68).
