What Does FAME Stand For?
FAME stands for Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
FAME, or Fatty Acid Methyl Ester, refers to a group of chemical compounds derived from the transesterification of fats and oils. These compounds serve as key components in biodiesel production and are increasingly used in various industrial applications due to their favorable properties, such as biodegradability and lower toxicity compared to traditional fossil fuels. FAMEs are also utilized in the formulation of lubricants, detergents, and as solvents in chemical processes, making them significant in both environmental and industrial contexts.
