Lauric ester compositions
First Claim
1. A cleaner comprising C1-C4 ester of fatty acids derived from triglyceride oil and at least one additional ingredient, the triglyceride oil produced by a microalga that is a recombinant oleaginous cell of the genus Prototheca, the oil having an altered fatty acid profile relative to an oil produced by a non-recombinant microalga of the genus Prototheca, the altered fatty acid profile having at least 10% C10:
- 0 and 40% C12;
0 fatty acids, the cleaner having a reduced odor compared to a cleaner where all the fatty acids are derived from vegetable or animal triglyceride oil having a fatty acid profile of at least 40% C12;
0 fatty acids.

Abstract
Provided are compositions containing alkyl esters derived from triglyceride oils produced from genetically engineered microalgae. Specific embodiments relate to esters derived from oils with high C10-C12 fatty acid profile. Compositions comprising the esters include cleaning products, completion fluids, work-over fluids, drilling fluids, metal working fluids, lubricants, paints, and inks.

15. A method for preparing a cleaner, the cleaner comprising C1-C4 esters of fatty acids derived from triglyceride oil, the triglyceride oil produced by a microalga that is a recombinant oleaginous cell of the genus Prototheca, the oil having an altered fatty acid profile relative to an oil produced by a non-recombinant microalga of the genus Prototheca, the altered fatty acid profile having at least 10% C10:
- 0 and 40% C12;
0 fatty acids, the cleaner having a reduced odor compared to a cleaner where all the fatty acids are derived from vegetable or animal triglyceride oil having a fatty acid profile of at least 40% C12;
0 fatty acids, the method comprising the steps of;a) providing the C1-C4 esters of fatty acids derived from the triglyceride oil; b) admixing at least one additional ingredient with the C1-C4 ester of fatty acids derived from the triglyceride oil to prepare the cleaner. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23)
