Using corn crop residue to make ethanol and other biofuels reduces soil carbon and under some conditions can generate more greenhouse gases than gasoline, according to a major, multi-year study by a University of Nebraska-Lincoln team of researchers published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Researchers at the School of Science at IUPUI (Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis) identified the compound in the seed oil of the Orychophragmus violaceus , which is produced in a manner unlike any other fatty acid. Each of these elongation steps requires a four-reaction cycle to add the carbon units.

3-acetyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols (acetyl-TAG) possess a particularly striking variation where the long-chain fatty acid at the sn-3 position of TAG is replaced by a two-carbon acetyl group. Some of these modified structures have added-value properties that are currently used in a range of industrial applications. —Liu et al.
