The Procter Gamble Co. - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

C11C 300

US Classification:

554172, 554169, 554170, 536119

Abstract:

Processes for the synthesis of polyol fatty acid polyester by transesterification of a polyol comprise reacting polyol with a first portion of fatty acid lower alkyl ester to provide a first step reaction product in which substantially all of the polyol is reacted with at least one fatty acid lower alkyl ester. The process then employs a multistage column for further transesterification of the first step reaction product. Partially esterified polyol, a second portion of fatty acid lower alkyl ester and catalyst are fed to the column to form a mixture and cause further transesterification of the partially esterified polyol and fatty acid lower alkyl ester, with lower alkyl alcohol being formed as a by product. The resulting liquid mixture of reactants and product is passed in a first direction between adjacent stages through the column for further reaction of partially esterified polyol with fatty acid lower alkyl ester. An inert sparging gas is fed through the column in a second direction between adjacent stages, counter current to the flow of the liquid mixture between adjacent stages in the first direction.

US Classification:

536119, 536115, 536120, 536124

Abstract:

Polyol polyesters useful as nondigestible fat substitutes are prepared by improved heterogeneous interesterification processes between fatty acid esters of easily removable alcohol and polyol characterized by having one or more improvements such as using low levels of soap emulsifying agent, catalyst, and/or excess fatty acid ester; reducing the size of the polyol by mechanical means; removing extraneous particulate material during the reaction; using low temperature and/or high pressure and compensating by increasing the mass transfer area; and/or using backmixing in the initial stage(s) and plug-flow conditions in the final stage(s).

Abstract:

Processes for the conversion of glycerol to a product mixture of an amino alcohol product and propylene glycol are disclosed. Glycerol is converted to hydroxyacetone and the hydroxyacetone is reduced with a reducing agent or reacted with an amine compound to give an adduct which is reduced using the reducing agent to obtain a product mixture of propylene glycol and an amino alcohol product.
