In recent decades, there has been an increasing effort to reduce the use of fossil fuels and
oil derivatives, to decrease environmental pollution, and to counteract global warming. The …

The most recent advances in the use of glycerol and glycerol derivatives as solvents are
reviewed. There are an increasing number of examples of the use of glycerol itself as a …

The rapid growth of the biodiesel industry has led to a large surplus of its major byproduct, ie
glycerol, for which new applications need to be found. Research efforts in this area have …

Biocatalysis has attracted special attention for the synthesis of industrially valuable ester
compounds. This review focuses mainly on lipases obtained from different sources …

The quest for new nanomaterials that can efficiently catalyze reduction reactions using
green transfer hydrogenation process is an important current area of research …

Sorbic acid is the most commonly used preservative in the food industry. The antimicrobial
inhibition of sorbic acid could be influenced by its lipophilic nature, which reduces its use in …

The present work focused on solvent-free microwave-assisted esterification (MAE) of
isoamyl acetate. It is based on the hypothesis that isoamyl acetate yield can be affected by …

The esterification is well-established type of reaction in organic synthesis used for
manufacturing various valuable esters used prevalently as ingredients of food, skincare …

Sulphonated hydrothermal carbon (SHTC), obtained from D-glucose by mild hydrothermal
carbonisation and subsequent sulphonation with sulphuric acid, is able to catalyse the …

To utilize excess glycerol produced from the biodiesel industry, researchers are developing
innovative methods of transforming glycerol into value-added chemicals. One strategy …
