The effects of cosolvents on homogeneously and heterogeneously base-catalyzed methanolysis of sunflower oil

- KOH and CaO catalyze the sunflower oil methanolysis in the presence of cosolvents.
- Tetrahydrofuran favors the triacylglycerol mass transfer by reducing drop size.
- The CaO-catalyzed methanolysis is not speeded up with the use of cosolvents.
