Fatty acid blends and uses therefor

Provided herein are blends of oils or fatty acids comprising more than 50% medium chain fatty acids, or the fatty acid alkyl esters thereof, and having low melting points. Such blends are useful as a fuel or as a starting material for the production of, for example, a biodiesel. Also provided are ge...

Zusammenfassung:	Provided herein are blends of oils or fatty acids comprising more than 50% medium chain fatty acids, or the fatty acid alkyl esters thereof, and having low melting points. Such blends are useful as a fuel or as a starting material for the production of, for example, a biodiesel. Also provided are genetically altered or modified plants, modified such that the amount of medium chain fatty acids generated by the plants are increased.
