High-Yield Preparation of Wax Esters via Lipase-Catalyzed Esterification Using Fatty Acids and Alcohols from Crambe and Camelina Oils – G. Steinke, P. Weitkamp, E. Klein, and K.D. Mukherjee – Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry 2001

Summary: Fatty acids obtained from seed oils of crambe (Crambe abyssinica) and camelina (Camelina sativa) via alkaline saponification or steam splitting were esterified using lipases as biocatalysts with oleyl alcohol and the alcohols derived from crambe and camelina oils via hydrogenolysis of their methyl esters.
