The present invention concerns a highly selective process for the preparation of an ingredient comprising 1,3-Olein-2-palmitin (OPO), a triglyceride present in human breast milk. The present invention also relates to 1,3-Olein-2-palmitin (OPO) ingredient obtainable by the process.

A process is described for making a biobased propylene glycol product at least in part from a carbohydrate-derived feed, wherein a feed comprised of a lactic acid ester is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, in a nonaqueous solvent in which lactide may be essentially wholly solubilized at the conditions under which the reaction is carried out, so that lactide does not precipitate out to an extent whereby plugging of the reactor or fouling of the hydrogenation catalyst is observed.

A total recycling system of capture, conversion and utilization of flue gas from factory, power plant and refinery. A combined decontamination and dust removal unit removes dust and oxides; a capture subsystem captures CO.sub.2; a water unit recovers water; a hydrogen unit decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen, and the oxygen is fed into a water gas unit to support combustion and extract hydrogen; a conversion subsystem enables a catalytic reaction between CO.sub.2 and hydrogen to convert into methanol and diol; an utilization subsystem makes a supercritical CO.sub.2 nanocellulose slurry, then to be blended with other material particles and extruded to form a supercritical CO.sub.2 nanocellulose foam; an energy subsystem is configured with solar energy, wind energy, and supplements energy by means of residual heat and hydrogen power generation; the system achieve carbon dioxide emission's reduction, conversion and utilization, thoroughly improve air pollution and green house effects.
