C 12-16-90% fatty acids and a process of making the same

Year	Description
1997	Invention patented by Kenneth C. Thode on January 21th, 1997. Abstract: A continuous-steady state process of making a C 12-16-90% fatty acid from a whole cut fatty acid as well as the resulting product. The process includes fractionating a distilled or undistilled whole cut coconut fatty acid having 11-20% C 10 or less, 44-52% C 12, 13-19% C 14, 8-12% C 16, and 6-14% C 18 carbon chain links to form a top cut of C-12 and less any bottom cut of C 12-18. The C 12-18 is then fractionated to form a top cut of C 12-16-90% and a bottom cut of C 18. The top cut has a chain length distribution of about 2% maximum of C 10 or less, 56-66% C 12, 18-27% C 14, 9-17% C 16, and 3% maximum of C 18 carbon chain links.
