Fueled by a variety of industrial applications ranging from bioplastics to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the global demand for unsaturated fatty acids is steadily rising. Most of these applications build on monounsaturated fatty acids with a chain length of 16 or 18 carbon atoms, rendering these co...
