Objective
The substitution of the synthetic bases of fossil origin used in lubricant industry by eco-friendly compounds has become a central question. In such respect, the branched-chain fatty acids, Boca, could offer advantageous alternatives. Contrasting to other vegetable oils used as lubricant bases, Boca containing oils has both excellent oxidative resistance & thermal stability, thereby making them potent substitutes for high temperature applications such as motor lubricants. Coupled with improvements in plant transformation, the increasing needs for cost-effective bio production of unusual fatty acids has made oilseeds ideal production systems. REFLAX (Rational Engineering of FLAX) aims at the integration of metabolic physiological molecular biological genetically structural biological polemics & bio informatics studies to provide basis for rational engineering of oilseeds-rapeseeds & flax towards the production of CAS
