Epoxidized Soybean Oil: An Eco-friendly Alternative for Plasticizers Chemical Structure and Properties
Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) is produced by reacting soybean oil with epichlorohydrin under alkaline conditions. This process causes the double bonds in the unsaturated fatty acids in soybean oil to undergo epoxidation, introducing oxygen-containing epoxy groups into the fatty acid chains. The chemical structure of ESO consists of epoxy rings attached to esters...
