Optimal conditions include a reaction temperature of 55–60°C, a methanol-to-oil ratio of 6:1, and 1% catalyst by weight. Reaction time typically ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on oil quality. Flaxseed oil’s high unsaturation helps the reaction proceed smoothly, but oxidative stability should be monitored. The GlobeCore USB unit ensures these conditions are automatically maintained throughout the batch or continuous process, improving conversion rates and minimizing the need for operator intervention.
