Lipid Technology Research Laboratory

Lipid Technology Gas chromatography: thermodynamic approach to gas chromatography and its application to identification of fatty acids and organic compounds without a standard reference. Fats and oil: Purification of rice bran wax, policosanol from rice bran wax, ultra-high gamma-oryzanol rice bran oil, reduction of refining loss in rice bran oil refinery. Liquid chromatography: separation of lipids into their classes by size exclusion HPLC to facilitate quantification. Biodiesel: continuous preparation of biodiesel and with non-conventional heat without heat. Correlation of structures and properties of biodiesel; cetane index, viscosities of neat and blends, vapour pressure. Preparation of biodiesel from different sources, bran wax, rubber seed oil, non-conventional seed oils.
