    Abstract: Esterification between citric acid molecules and molecules of Callistemon citrinus, rice husk and Garcinia dulcis (pulp-peel and pips) were carried out such as the citric acid molecules quantities (moles) were negligible against to these raw materials’ reactive molecules quantities (moles). Results showed generally an important initial, total conve... Show More

    Abstract: Reusing cooking oil in food preparation, especially during deep-frying is a common practice to save costs. Repeated heating of the oil accelerates oxidative degradation of lipids leading to severe changes in lipid profile of the blood and forming hazardous reactive oxygen species which depletes the natural antioxidant contents of the cooking oil le...
