This work proposed the effective process to modify the structure of palm kernel oil (PKO) for improving the melting point. In this process, lauric acid can also be obtained as a valuable by-product. The low-value rice bran oil fatty acid distillate (RBOFAD) was applied as an acyl donor which was car...
