Summary: With high seed oil content as well as high yield of oil per hectare, camelina can be efficiently processed into high quality renewable fuels such as biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) as well as renewable diesel and jet fuels using existing technologies. This review summarizes the attributes of camelina along with conversion of the lipid fraction into advanced renewable ...
Summary: Methyl and ethyl esters were prepared from camelina oil by homogenous base-catalyzed transesterification for evaluation as biodiesel fuels. Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19740653
Summary: In this study, a techno-economic model was developed to estimate the cost of vegetable oil production and the production plant economic optimum size using canola or camelina as feedstock. A sensitivity analysis found that field cost and meal price have the greatest effect on oil cost; the optimum size of the plant, on the other hand, is most sensitive ...
Summary: Biotechnology offers a number of solutions to meet the growing need for affordable vegetable oils and vegetable oils with improved fatty acid compositions for food and industrial uses. New insights into oilseed metabolism and its transcriptional control are enabling biotechnological enhancement of oil content and quality. Alternative crop platforms and emerging technologies for metabolic engineering also hold promise for ...
Summary: Recycled newspaper-reinforced sustainable and biodegradable composite sheets and fibers were fabricated with camelina meal, a by-product of camelina oil extraction-based resin. Link: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pc.22337/abstract
Summary: A series of new biodegradable polymers based on epoxidized camelina oil was synthesized and investigated. The thermal, mechanical, swelling properties, hydrolysis, biodegradation, and bioresistance of the camelina oil-based polymers with bisphosphonate crosslinks were studied and compared with those of the analogous polymers based on epoxidized linseed oil. The obtained results showed that the properties of the camelina oil-based polymers ...
