摘要

A biodiesel crystallization depressant comprising a triacylglycerol comprising saturated or unsaturated fatty acids in the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions such that when the depressant is mixed with a biodiesel fuel comprising fatty acid methyl esters, said fuel has improved low temperature characteristics relating to crystallization.
