Abstract: Fatty Acids Methyl
Esther (FAME) coconut oil can be produced from interesterification with
methanol used by acid or base catalyst. Lauroyl alcohol, miristoyl alcohol,
palmitoyl alcohol and caproyl alcohol have been synthesis with the yield of
(65-75) % from methyl laurate, methyl miristate, methyl palmitate and methyl caprate
throught sodium as reductor in methanol. Methyl laurate, methyl miristate,
methyl palmitate and methyl caprate get from fractination of mixture fatty
acids methyl esther coconut oil. Furification of lauroyl alcohol, miristoyl
alcohol, palmitoyl alcohol and caproyl alcohol by hidrolised fatty acid methyl
esther that can’t be reducted to be free fatty acid before separating fatty
alcohol by fractinated destilation.
