Abstract
Processes are described for making epoxidized fatty acid esters from epoxidized natural fats and oils, wherein low moisture fats and oils are identified and selected or made and used in a transesterification process. The products undergo phase separation, and reduced molar excesses of alcohol may be employed compared to processes not employing a low moisture feedstock.
