Social impact of Palm Oil

Palm oil is a small ingredient in the U.S. diet, but more than half of all packaged products Americans consume contain palm oil—it’s found in lipstick, soaps, detergents, and even ice cream. https://rspo.org/about https://www.worldwildlife.org/industries/palm-oil

Ideally, we would like to get data from a single paper since the transesterification process depends on the choice of catalyst.

Not sure whether the kinetics also depend on the type of oil.

[jiweiqi]

We can use synthesized data to investigate how much data (how many initial conditions) we need in order to learn the network.

Keywords for literature searching: transesterification, ode45, biofuel。 Looking for paper with Supplemental Materials, i.e., providing details on experimental data.
