Síntese de padrões cromatográficos e estabelecimento de método para dosagem da composição de ésteres de ácidos graxos presentes no biodiesel a partir do óleo de babaçu

Several alkyl esters were synthesized, purified, characterized by ¹H NMR and employed as standards for establishing chromatographic methods to monitor their formation in the synthesis of biodiesel. The efficiency of the chromatographic methods was confirmed with the products of enzymatic transesterification of babassu oil with different alcohols (C2 to C4), using Lipozyme as catalyst.
