The present invention relates to a process for preparing two mixtures of epoxidized fatty acid esters, comprising in the order given a transesterification of an epoxidized vegetable oil, followed by a reduction of the volatile saturated non-epoxidized fraction by short path distillation of the transesterified epoxidized vegetable oil, followed by a selection on the one hand of the non-vaporized fraction (residue) of the previous process step as the first mixture of epoxidized fatty acid esters and a selection on the other hand of the vaporized fraction (distillate) as the second mixture of epoxidized fatty acid esters. The first mixture is in particular suitable as plasticizer in halogenated polymers, the second mixture being particularly suitable as plasticizer in non-halogenated polymers.

Provided are a hydroxylated fatty acid derivative, which contains a large amount of a hydroxylated fatty acid and is easy to intake and handle, and a production method of the same. Also provided is aproduction method of a hydroxylated fatty acid homopolymer, said method comprising polymerizing a hydroxylated fatty acid using an enzyme. The hydroxylated fatty acid homopolymer is stabilized. Also provided is a valuable novel hydroxylated fatty acid homopolymer which is obtained by the aforesaid production method.

The present invention is concerned with a method of extracting oxidized lipids from a lipid solution, the method comprising (a) a derivatisation step, comprising contacting a derivatisation agent with the lipid solution such that aldehydic oxidized lipids and / or α,β-unsaturated oxidised lipids, if present in the lipid solution, are derivatised to include an anionic group, and (b) an oxidised lipid capture step, in which nanoparticles are contacted with the lipid solution, wherein the nanoparticles capture anionic-group containing oxidised lipids. The invention also includes a method of extracting aldehydic oxidized phospholipids from a lipid solution, the method comprising (a) a derivatisation step, comprising introduction of a anionic group to aldehydic oxidized lipids and / or α,β-unsaturated oxidised lipids in the lipid solution, and (b) an oxidised lipid capture step, in which nanoparticles are contacted with the lipid solution, wherein the nanoparticles bind anionic-group containing oxidised lipids.

A composition containing (a) at least one biodegradable / biorenewable thermoplastic material that includes poly(lactic acid) (PLA); and (b) at least one plasticizer that includes an epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester is provided. In some embodiments, the epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester is methyl epoxy soyate. It was found that epoxidized fatty acid alkyl esters impart a reduction in tensile modulus in compositions containing PLA. The compositions may be formed into films, such as those used in food packaging. A method that includes extruding a composition comprising PLA and at least one epoxidized fatty acid alkyl ester is provided.
