The oleic acid solubility in methanol is low due to two phase separation, and this causes a slow reaction time in biodiesel production. Tetrahydrofuran as co-solvent can decrease the interfacial surface tension between methanol and oleic acid. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of co-solvent, methanol to oleic acid molar ratio, catalyst amount, and temperature of the reaction to the free fatty acid conversion. Oleic acid esterification was conducted by mixing oleic acid, methanol, tetrahydrofuran and Amberlyst 15 as a solid acid catalyst in a batch reactor. The Amberlyst 15 used had an exchange capacity of 2.57 meq/g. Significant free fatty acid conversion increments occur on biodiesel production using co-solvent compared without co-solvent. The highest free fatty acid conversion was obtained over methanol to the oleic acid molar ratio of 25:1, catalyst use of 10%, the co-solvent concentration of 8%, and a reaction temperature of 60°C. The highest FFA conversion was found at 28.6 %, and the steady state was reached after 60 minutes. In addition, the use of Amberlyst 15 oleic acid esterification shows an excellent performance as a solid acid catalyst. Catalytic activity was maintained after 4 times repeated use and reduced slightly in the fifth use.

Fatty acid esterification was measured in fetal jejunal and ileal isografts implanted under the kidney capsules of adult host rats and compared to the age-controlled intestine grown in situ. Studies were conducted on the 21st, 35th, 49th, and 63rd postconceptional days, corresponding to prenatal, suckling, weaning, and weaned rats. Substantial fatty acid esterification activity was found in prenatal jejunum but not in ileum. A proximal-distal gradient of fatty acid esterification was observed in all groups grown in situ, but not in isografts. The monoglyceride pathway (MG-P) accounted for about one-third of total fatty acid esterification (TFAE) in jejunum grown in situ and remained constant through the study. In the ileum, MG-P was the major esterification pathway during the first 4 postnatal weeks, but decreased progressively after weaning to become insignificant in adult rats. TFAE fell in the jejunal isografts, whereas it increased in the ileum. MG-P remained as the major pathway in the implanted jejunum and ileum. Our studies suggest that luminal contents are probably the most important modulator for the development and maintenance of intestinal fatty acid esterification, and "fetal programming" manifested by changes in fatty acid esterification mechanisms in the isografts is less important.
