Automotive Fuels as Solvents for the Conduct of Enzymatic Reactions
Patent Number: 5697986
Docket Number: 2996
Serial Number: 8631497
Date Patented: 12/16/1997
Agency:
Agricultural Research Service
Issued:
December 16, 1997
Abstract:
The invention involves a way to produce fuel blends using enzymes to convert certain fatty acid-containing materials derived from oilseed byproducts into biofuels. These byproducts are generated during processing of oilseeds, such as soybeans, rapeseed and safflower seeds, and can be added directly to automotive fuels during the production process.
