Abstract

Abstract The pyrolysis of triglycerides (trilaurin and tripalmitin) in an atmosphere of nitrogen at 300–700°C has been attempted. Fatty acids, acrolein, ketones, and olefins have been identified as pyrolysis products. As intermediates of the pyrolysis, unsaturated glycol difatty acid esters and acid anhydrides were also detected. These results suggest a reaction mechanism of the pyrolysis involving the above compounds.
