Palm oil was transmethylated continuously at 70°C in an organic solvent with sodium methoxide as a catalyst. The optimum ratio of toluene to palm oil is 1∶1 (v/v). When the methanol‐to‐oil molar ratio was 13∶1, transmethylation was 96% complete within 60 seconds. At higher molar ratio (17∶1), transm...
