Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) are a type of fatty acid ester that are derived by transesterification of fats with methanol. The molecules in biodiesel are primarily FAME, usually obtained from vegetable oils by transesterification. They are used to produce detergents and biodiesel.

Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) are esters of fatty acids. The physical characteristics of fatty acid esters are closer to those of fossil diesel fuels than pure vegetable oils, but properties depend on the type of vegetable oil. A mixture of different fatty acid methyl esters is commonly referred to as biodiesel, which is a renewable alternative f...
FAME is produced from vegetable oils, animal fats or waste cooking oils by transesterification. In the transesterification process a glyceride reacts with an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst, forming a mixture of fatty acids esters and an alcohol. Using triglycerides results in the production of glycerol. Transesterification is a reversible re...
Industrial scale production of biodiesel for use as a transport fuel has taken place in Europe since 1991. Global biodiesel production in 2011 was 18,826 Mtonnes. The leading producer was the USA with 2,800 M tonnes of biodiesel produced, followed by Germany with 2,780 M tonnes and Argentina with 2,427 M tonnes. Globally, 2011 has seen significant ...
Tests have been undertaken by motor manufacturers in the European Union on blends with diesel oil up to 5-10 %, or at 25-30 % and 100 % pure. These have resulted in guarantees for each type of use. Modifications (seals, piping) are required for use at 100 % pure. The use of biodiesel as a low-blend component in transport fuel (up to 7 percent in Eu...

Fatty acid esters (FAEs) are a type of ester that result from the combination of a fatty acid with an alcohol. When the alcohol component is glycerol, the fatty acid esters produced can be monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides. Dietary fats are chemically triglycerides.
Biodiesel, which is also known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), is a mixture of monoalkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from renewable lipid feedstocks, such as vegetable oil and animal fats.

Learning Objectives. To recognize the structures of common fatty acids and classify them as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Describe characteristics of fatty acid esters. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids that are structural components of fats, oils, and all other categories of lipids, except steroids.
