COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING MONO AND DI ESTERS OF BIOLOGICALLY-BASED 1.3-PROPANEDIOL

摘要

Compositions comprising esters of 1,3-propanediol are provided. The 1,3- propanediol used to form the esters is biologically derived. The esters can have at least 3% biobased carbon. The compositions can further comprise biologically-derived 1,3- propanediol. Also provided are processes for producing compositions comprising esters of 1,3-propanediol. The processes include providing biologically produced 1,3-propanediol, contacting the 1,3-propanediol with an organic acid, which produces an ester, and recovering the produced ester.
