Long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid ethyl esters (LMFAEE) and fatty alcohol acetates (LMFAA) are important functional compounds in industry, and new sources are needed. In this study, jojoba oil was interesterified with ethyl acetate (EA) for the combined production of LMFAEE and LMFAA. Lipozyme R...
