Tall oil is a viscous oily liquid and considered one of the most important by-products of wood pulp manufacturing. Through a fractioning process crude tall oil can be turned into valuable fatty and resin acids. Vacuums play a key role in this procedure. An application in Finland currently proves that technology from Hanover-based Körting is ideally suited for this purpose. Crude tall oil is ...
Wetlands International is member of the Enviromental Paper Network to reverse the trend that peatlands (50% of the world's wetlands) are destroyed by the pulpwood industry. More at www.environmentalpaper.eu or www.environmentalpaper.org. ...

A sterol esterase purified from cultures of the sapstain fungus Ophiostoma piceae was able to hydrolyse sterol esters and glycerides. The kinetics of sterol esters and triglyceride hydrolysis by this new esterase, estimated using a pH-stat, showed a Kmapp and a kcatapp in the range of 0.9–1.1 mM and 70–300 s-1, respectively. Its ability to hydrolyse both pure sterol esters and natural mixtures of ...
