Upstream pressure within 1�3.5 bar induced cavities to intensify the process. An optimal orifice plate geometry was considered as plate with 1 mm dia hole having 21 holes at 3 bar inlet pressure. The optimisation results of interesterification were revealed by response surface methodology; methyl acetate to oil molar ratio of 14:1, catalyst amount of 0.75 wt. and reaction time of 20 min at 50 °C. HC is compared to mechanical stirring (MS) at optimised values. The reaction rate constant and the frequency factor of HC were 3.4-fold shorter and 3.2-fold higher than MS. The interesterified product was characterised by following EN 14214 and ASTM D 6751 international standards. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd date: 2017 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85015774660&doi=10.1016%2fj.biortech.2017.03.046&partnerID=40&md5=e3a6fc550676abfbf3fe8664e267ae39 id_number: 10.1016/j.biortech.2017.03.046 full_text_status: none publication: Bioresource Technology volume: 242 pagerange: 272-282 refereed: TRUE issn: 09608524 citation: Bokhari, A. and Yusup, S. and Chuah, L.F. and Klemeš, J.J. and Asif, S. and Ali, B. and Akbar, M.M. and Kamil, R.N.M.
