Description

• General description: Methyl laurate is one of the key volatile flavor compounds in the avocado fruit.[1] It is also reported to occur in Polygonum bistorta L. (snakeroot)[2] and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) tea.[3]
• Application: Frustrated Lewis pair catalyst realizes efficient green diesel production.: Methyl laurate is employed as a key reactant in the development of an efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst system for the production of green diesel. This breakthrough offers a sustainable alternative to traditional diesel production methods (Li et al., 2024).Sodium phosphate solid base catalysts for production of novel biodiesel by transesterification reaction.: This paper explores the use of sodium phosphate solid base catalysts in the transesterification of methyl laurate to produce biodiesel. The research demonstrates high efficiency and novel catalyst design, contributing to advancements in sustainable fuel production (Zhao et al., 2023).
