CA 2447441

Candles formed from triacylglycerol-based wax are provided. The wax generally has a melting point of about 130 to 145 ~F (circa 54 to 63 ~C). The wax includes a triacylglycerol component and a polyol partial ester component. Examples of suitable polyol partial esters include fatty acid monoesters of glycerol and/or sorbitan. The triacylglycerol-based wax typically has an Iodine Value of about 20 to 40. The wax commonly includes at least about 70 wt.% of the triacylglycerol component and about 3 to 30 wt.% of the polyol partial ester component. The triacylglycerol component generally has a fatty acid composition which includes about 50 to 70 wt.% saturated fatty acids and about 30 to 45 wt.% 18:1 fatty acids. Methods of producing the candles from the vegetable oil-based wax are also provided.

L'invention concerne des bougies formées à partir de cire à base de triacylglycérol. Cette cire possède généralement un point de fusion d'environ 130 à 145 ·F (environ 54 à 63 ·C). Cette cire comprend une composante de triacylglycérol et une composante d'ester partiel de polyol. Des exemples d'esters partiels de polyol comprennent notamment des monoesters d'acide gras de glycérol et/ou de sorbitan. Cette cire à base de triacylglycérol possède typiquement un indice d'iode d'environ 20 à 40. Cette cire comprend habituellement au moins environ 70 % en poids de la composante de triacylglycérol et environ 3 à 30 % en poids de la composante d'ester partiel de polyol. La composante de triacylglycérol possède généralement une composition d'acide gras qui comprend environ 50 à 70 % en poids d'acides gras saturés et environ 30 à 45 % en poids d'acides gras 18:1. L'invention concerne également des procédés de production de ces bougies à partir de cire à base d'huile végétale.
