Production of Selected Fatty Acids | Genetics

Engineering crops for selected fatty acid production is one of the important aim for plant biotechnology. An attempt has been made to increase one particular fatty acid stearate in transgenic Brassica plant. Synthesis of high proportion of stearate (18: 0) can reduce the process of hydrogenation. Normally hydrogenation generates high amount of trans fatty acids, which are associated with risk [...]

Production of Industrial Oil

In this article we will discuss about the production of industrial oil from unusual fatty acids. Most of the vegetable oils have marginal use in industries due to complex nature of fatty acids. The typical mixture of saturated and unsaturated C16 and C18 fatty acids that comprise major vegetable oils. In recent years considerable effort has been directed towards genetically [...]
