Abstract:
1. A method of preparing ambient-temperature liquid cetyl esters having a range of about 40% cetyl myristoleate to about 80% cetyl myristoleate, said method comprising the steps of: 1) separation of a starting solid mixture of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids into a solid saturated fatty acid component and a purified liquid unsaturated fatty acid component, wherein the content of said starting solid mixture of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids is a range of about 2 to 50% myristoleic acid; 2) dilution of said purified liquid unsaturated fatty acid component by mixing said liquid unsaturated fatty acids with a specified amount of liquid room temperature-fatty acids selected from the group consisting of oleic acid fatty acids, soybean oil fatty acids, sunflower seed oil fatty acids, canola oil fatty acids, palm olein fatty acids, and olive oil fatty acids; and 3) esterification of the diluted product of step 2), comprising mixing said diluted liquid unsaturated fatty acids with cetyl alcohol;
