Isolation of Long-Chain Aliphatic Alcohols from Beeswax
The Journal of Supercritical Fluids, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2006, Pages 173-177
Abstract: Aliphatic alcohols of chain lengths of 24–34 carbons have been found to be beneficial in treating hypercholesterolemia. Approximately 40% of beeswax is long-chain esters which can be transesterified in supercritical carbon dioxide to give these alcohols and fatty acid methyl esters…
[NOTE: Hypercholesterolemia is a disorder that is characterized by an extremely high concentration of cholesterol in the blood and cells.]
