Triglycerides of Modified Structure (TOMS) is a novel biofuel and chemical feedstock produced from natural oils and fats. TOMS provides 15-20% higher biofuel yields compared to conventional biodiesel without producing glycerol as a byproduct. TOMS can also be used to produce a limitless number of tailored molecules for oleochemical industries. The process for producing TOMS is universal for all types of oils and fats, utilizes every atom of biomass, has lower production costs than biodiesel, and produces a more stable and cleaner-burning fuel. In addition to its use as a biofuel, TOMS can be modified to produce novel bioplastics, lubricants, and

7. EXAMPLE
RBD PO Stearin stocks usually create bottleneck, as
these are not so applicable for FAME manufacture,
owing to the high gelling point of the resulting
conventional BD (19 - 20°C).
However, using our TOMS methodology, we produce
+ 15 - 20% extra biofuel from this feedstock, with
greatly improved cold properties.
Similarly, from refined palm oil feedstock one gets
Fame with 15°C gelling point, whereas TOMS is still a
liquid below 4°C. (Potential for up to -12 GP from
Palm Oil Feedstock)

10. FURTHER R+D AND UPSCALING NEEDED:
POTENTIAL AREAS OF UTILIZATION OF OUR mTG’s:
TG-based bioplastics Reduced calorie fats Biolubricants
Owing to the immense variability
of our mTG’s as building blocks
for such polymerisations to
replace naturally occurring oils,
hosts of new and novel
bioplastics are bound to result,
with new, novel and unexpected
properties
(i.e. containing less numbers of
Carbon and Hydrogen atoms to be
burnt in the body) for
dietary/medicament purposes,
used as
lower- calorie fat replacers
Under brand names such
as Salatrim, Benefat, etc.
such structures have been
approved in the EU, USA,
etc.
„Lubricating oils based on renewable
sources such as vegetable and animal
oils and fats have a number of
advantages. The vegetable and
animal oils or fats contain
triglycerides having ester carbonyl
groups. The polar nature of these
ester carbonyl groups leads to strong
adsorption on metal faces as a very
thin film so that the film forming
properties of triglyceride based
lubricants are particularly
advantageous in hydraulic systems.
Vegetable oils and animal oils
typically have high viscosity indices
that facilitate their use over wide
temperature ranges. In addition,
vegetable and animal oil and fat
based lubricants help reduce the
depletion of fossil-derived
hydrocarbons. Moreover, vegetable
oil based lubricants are typically
biodegradable, which would help
reduce the introduction of waste
lubricants into the environment.
Currently, about 50% of mineral
lubricants used worldwide end up in
landfills and the like.”
11. PATENT AND OTHER REGULATORY SITUATION:
1. CEN, the European Committee for Standardization:
“As your product ………..cannot be considered FAME or FAEE, it falls under ´no-harm´
clausal in EN 590 for other bio-components.…..these components are allowed in any
proportions provided that the final blend complies with the requirements of EN 590”.
2. So fuel properties render this renewable fuel applicable in diesel
engines within broad limits
With the granting of our patents, our 1 and 3/4 years of priority over two
Chevron patents “Low melting point triglycerides for use as fuels - US
8,324,413 and 8,361,172”, pertaining to the same fuels and manufacturing
process, has been acknowledged
