The esters of the fatty-acids with oxidants present a particular interest like surfactant soluble out of oil with various uses in the field of food industry, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Taking into account the advantages present by heterogeneous catalysts, in this work was studied the catalytic activity of some anionic exchange resins in the addition reaction of fatty acids to epichlorohydrin.
